Enjoy the splendor

Shot a few years ago at this time of the year at the brooklyn Botanic Garden.

 he Brooklyn Botanic.

Photo tip: time of day

When you get it right it's something really special. The right time of day is really what's most important in panoramic photos. This photo of the Throngs Neck Bride spanning Queens and The Bronx proves the point. As we all know the right light makes the interesting image and early morning and late afternoon are the two magical moments when the special photos are made. The light is not only interesting because of it low angle but it assumes a gorgeous warmth that makes the image so special.

As the meta data indicates, this photo was shot on 6-15-206 at 7:24 PM with the Canon 30-D. The lens was the Canon 16-35 F 2.8 L.

Madison Square Park

This is my favorite park in New York City after the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, of course. Smack in the center of  Manhattan one can see the Empire State Building to the North and the  fabulous Flat Iron Building that is adjacent to it. Again, these night shots were taken with the LX-7, a camera that continues to impress me. It may be a better camera for travel than the E PL-2.

That's all folks; foliage, that is.

Yes indeed, the foliage is all gone. These are the last shot's I could muster for this fall. All from Forest Park in Queens, a veritable forest but a very needed place to escape from the city's congestion.
