Javier, he has that, "I just been shot" look on his face. Hysterical (so does the guy on the bike.)

I'm currently in the East Coast of the US on a business trip, and I managed to get away for a few days and visit NYC for the first time.

And of course, what else is there to do but hit the streets armed with a camera.

All images, Pentax K7 + DA 15mm Limited.

Times Square:




Wall Street:




Somewhere on Fifth Ave:




Wall Street again:





Before making the trip, I was expecting to do most of my shooting in Times Square and the immediate area. I was thinking crowds = lots of opportunities to shoot candids of strangers. But I was actually a tad disappointed with Times Square (as far as shooting strangers). It was crowded, but it was too touristy. I wanted to shoot more 'locals' (ie "real New Yawkers"), and based on my experience Times Square isn't the best place for that. (I guess if you lived in New York, you steer well clear of Times Sq)

Obviously I'm no expert having made just two trips there (one weekend + another that was about 5 days), and I haven't been everywhere, but in the short time I was there, my favorite spots for shooting in Manhattan were Union Square, Wall Street on a work day, Columbus Circle especially during rush hour, the whole stretch of Fifth Ave from about 42nd to Grand Army Plaza and pretty much the whole stretch of Broadway from Columbus Circle to Battery Park.

Definitely a great city for street photography IMO. Lots of energy in the streets, lots of quirky characters and it's very walkable.

WoW! great images on this page from everyone. Like them all!

Late this evening i ran across some guys setting up telescopes. They caught anyone out in the 40degree weather and pandered Venus, the Moon, Saturn and Mars. With a 14inch scope you can see the rings of Saturn and 4 of her moons. It was quite a treat. Most were at iso3200 with the DA-l 35mm
