Finally, here are some shots from the recent trip to New York City. Actually, most of them were taken in Brooklyn. I guess I took my fill of skyscraper photos a couple years ago. (Click the image to see it full-size.)

brooklyn bridge
The Brooklyn Bridge, seen from the Brooklyn Promenade. Diagonal lines. [ISO 100, F7.0, 1/500]

Manhattan skyline from the Brooklyn Bridge
The Manhattan skyline seen from the Brooklyn Bridge. I have been taking pictures lately which use depth of field to either blur or draw attention to a foreground element which otherwise goes unnoticed. There is a corresponding image with the bridge cable blurred and the skyline clear, but this one came out better. [ISO 100, F5.0, 1/500]

Brooklyn arch
The triumphal arch near Prospect Park in Brooklyn. [ISO 100, F5.6, 1/650]

Row of brownstones
Row of brownstones, also in Brooklyn and in the vicinity of Prospect Park. [ISO 100, F2.8, 1/200]

Abandoned swingset
Abandoned swingset with tree in the foreground. [ISO 100, F2.8, 1/400]

View from ferry
View of the water from the Staten Island ferry. This is a free ferry, so it’s a good way to see the area and enjoy the summer air. [ISO 100, F5.0, 1/500]

Dan and Katie
Our friends, Dan and Katie, getting on the 4 at the Franklin Avenue stop. [ISO 200, F2.8, 1/25]

Flower at botanical garden
A flower by a fountain in the Brooklyn Botanical Garden. Each borough has its own botanical garden, except for Manhattan; it’s a great place to stop and smell the roses. [ISO 100, F2.8, 1/320]
