View from the 46th Floor of the Millennium Hilton in Lower Manhattan
Waiting for the elevator, I just had to capture this stunning view of the Brooklyn Bridge (right) and the Manhattan Bridge (left) spanning the East River to connect Lower Manhattan to Brooklyn.

The quiet heart of NYC in winter . . .
Another shot from my friends hunting trip. We were out about half a day from before daylight to around 2 pm. He didn’t get to shoot anything but we had a great time frying bacon and drinking coffee.

Double Exposure – White Lily Leaf and Pine Cone
When playing with the remnants of my holiday bouquet it didn’t appeal to me to simply photograph dead flowers, so I employed the double exposure function on my Nikon D810. I used various manual settings to adjust the exposure for the effect I wanted. I then converted the image to black and white using Topaz Labs. What do you think? I like the effect of the pine cone hiding behind a sheer screen and the added texture of the Lily leaf adds another dimension – almost making it abstract.
On a separate note, for those of you who truly love black and white photography I highly recommend subscribing to the on-line magazine – BWGallerist. I think you’ll find the articles both interesting and inspiring.
Happy New Year!

The Bellagio Hotel and Casino on the strip in Las Vegas is known for it’s fountains that are choreographed to piped in music. They dance every 20 minutes or so. They have become almost iconographic in that every Tom, Dick, and Harriet has to take a photo with their phone. (Does any body use a phone to talk anymore? I mostly text.) Anyway, I did take a couple or twenty shots of the fountains this night but found this image much more satisfying. Hope you do, too!
