Here are a few more images from my foggy visit to the World Trade Center. However, these were taken from inside.

One World Trade Center
As I noted in the previous post, I was in New York a few weeks ago for the Olympus Visionary Summit. In addition to the Brooklyn & Manhattan bridges, we also shot the One World Trade Center building (aka The Freedom Tower) the next day. Again, we had a lot of fog to deal with. Here are a few of the shots of the exterior of the building. All of the images were taken with the Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mk II. I used a combination of the Pro series lenses, including the 7-14mm f2.8, 12-40mm f2.8 and the 40-150mm f2.8. Many of the shots were straight out of the camera with the built-in “Dramatic Tone” filter (one of my favorites).

A Foggy Night in Brooklyn
A couple of weeks ago I was in New York for the Olympus Visionary Summit. After dinner, a group of us decided to head over to the Brooklyn Bridge Park to try to get some shots of the Brooklyn & Manhattan Bridges. Unfortunately, when we arrived it was socked in with fog. At first I thought there was no hope for any nice shots. The more I looked at the environment the more I liked what I was seeing. These bridges have been photographed many times. However, not with fog. You decide. I was quite happy with the results.

Grand Central Terminal
On behalf of Olympus & Unique Photo, I was privileged to do a presentation this past Friday evening at Unique’s store in Fairfield, NJ on the Grand Central Terminal and lead the photo tour, with an MTA guide, at the terminal on Saturday. This was an amazing experience. We were granted access to ares in the terminal I didn’t even know existed. At one point we were at the highest area in the structure that still allowed a view of the inside of the complex. There were many other vantage points that were amazing beyond belief. I had photographed here in June of 2012 (check out my earlier post from that event).
Rumor has it, that there will be another opportunity on May 30th to do this again. Keep an eye out on Unique Photo’s web site. This one sold out in 24 hours.

Old Westbury Gardens
A couple of weeks ago, I lead a workshop for Berger Brothers in Long Island, New York with Olympus at the Old Westbury Gardens on the North Shore. The grounds are absolutely beautiful. The facility is on the National Register of Historic Places, it is the former home of John S. Phipps, his wife, Margarita Grace Phipps and their four children. Completed in 1906 by the English designer, George A. Crawley, the magnificent Charles II-style mansion is nestled amid 200 acres of formal gardens, landscaped grounds, woodlands, ponds and lakes. We had a wonderful day, the colors were at their peak and the group was great! If you are ever in this area, it is a “must see”.

PDN Photo Plus Expo 2013
Every year I look forward to this event. To see and learn about all new things occurring in the photographic world. This year was no exception. It was great to catch up with all the folks from my favorite booth, Olympus. I also enjoy the opportunity to shoot all the colors and diversity of New York.

PDN PhotoPlus + Expo 2012
A little over a month ago, I made my annual trek to the PDN PhotoPlus International Conference + Expo in New York. I also had the opportunity to catch the play, Annie. Of course I had my camera in hand.

Grand Central Station
Last month I photographed in the iconic Grand Central Terminal (aka Grand Central Station) in New York. I spent about 5 hours here and could have easialy spent another 5+ hours. This location screams for a fisheye lens. And as you can see, most of my images where produced with one.
A special thank you to Denise Ippolito who made all the arrangements for the day. Including a special tripod permit. A must for long exposures and any HDR work.

Vibrant New York
I was at my annual excursion to PDN in New York last week. Of course, while one is there, you have to do some street photography. If only there were more hours in the day.

The Big Apple (from NJ)
The weather was a challenge, but it helped create a mood for these images.

A couple of “panos”.
