While the East River bridges along with the Verrazano [Verrazzano] Bridge are the more famous ones, these two bridges, the Whitestone Bridge and the Throgs Neck Bbridge that connect The Bronx with Queens are usually overlooked. They are indeed superb structures that with the proper light make for nice shots. I was working an event in The Bronx's shore in a locale situated between the two bridges. Looking south I could see the Withestone while looking north I could see the Throgs Neck. It was late evening in the middle of June back in 2006 and the camera at that time was the Canon 30-D.
Greetings, this blog is dedicated to my life in photography. I want to make this a place to stop and relax. In the hope that this will help in these trying times

Two more bridges from this wonderful city

The feast
The tradition of the feasts in urban areas is a continuation of an old world tradition dating back to the medieval period when fairs were very important. Then, as religious institutions became stronger the patron saint and other "protector saints" got celebrated with appropriate feasts. It was the only entertainment available for the masses. Italian immigrants carried this tradition over and these feasts are still celebrated with great vigor. In an era where there's too much entertainment these outdoor events still draw great crowds. These photos were shot at the Our Lady of Mount Carmel feast. The neighborhood has become hipsterized but these newcomers find the feast
very charming. Soon there will probably be vegan food outlets. So far,
the sausage and pepper stands still hold on to their primary position
but this may change soon.

There was something right about the skin tones of the D 1-X. Only the Fuji S2-Pro did better. The Nikkor 35-135 F 3.5-4.5 was used.
