Almost as soon as I moved into my new place, I noticed that there was a small part of the park across the street that was a sort of elevated lookout on the George Washington Bridge, and I thought, "Hey, I need to go over there and get some photos."
As you all know, I am the living embodiment of Procrastination.
I got home late-ish last night, and decided I would put it off no more. And boy, and I glad I did.
The first photo is my favorite. I let the shutter stay open for about five seconds and set the aperture value low, so as to capture as much light as I possible could. I was frankly suprised this shot didn't turn out blurry, since the wind was really steady, and really strong. Literally, the neck strap on the camera (the camera, by the way, being mounted on my tripod) was being blown perpendicular to the ground. But of the fifty or so photos I took, only a couple were blurry, and none of them were unusable. Testament, no doubt, the way I was clutching the tripod to hold it down:
This next one is of the pathway to the overlook in J. Hood Wright park. There's an awful lot of red in this photo... don't quite know why:
Same thing with this pic (taken from the park) of my building:
Oh, and while we're on the subject of photos I've taken recently, check out a couple of favorites:
Have I mentioned that I love my camera?
