NYC Mini Gathering Pics.....

[walterick]

From the way they described their trip to NY I wondered if their pilot had ever flown a plane before..

I'm sure they're spending countless hours uploading and editing NY gathering photos for us

Yes Lara just keep nagging Photo-John for us until his head explodes ;)

I'm so glad you made it safe & sound. It's good you had an uneventful plane trip. You did get some nice shots from different angles. Nice & sharp! I love viewing all these shots from our weekend in NYC. Cool

I'm grateful I was able to take the day off Saturday to meet you - and I really enjoyed our day together. Hopefully it won't be too long before we start planning another one!

Like everyone else, I'm back to work......and trying to find the bottom of the paper work!

Have a great week.

We know Paul GOT THE SHOT in Central Park, but we tried:

I THINK I MAY HAVE....... but these are GREAT for a handheld long lens WITHOUT IS!!!!!

some day we can all get together in TRUE NATURE and spend more than 3 hours.

2 days with me and I'll have you stalking nature like a cat ;)

2 days with the Bowhays and i'll be framing landscapes better too

lighten up the red eared slider image(all actually... could be my monitor though?)

the male cardinal handheld at 1/160th on a 170-500 is great Gene!

The robin is good too!!!!

speeking of " my lens" were are the images taken with my 28-70 f2.8???

I would have passed off ANY GEAR i had with me...... as mentioned in EMAIL and HERE!!!!

A 100-400 ISN'T a big lens....... a 400f2.8 is though

NO BIRD IMAGES from me in this thread...... the AVIAN GLORY belongs to my Bowhay FRIENDS!!!!!

when ever you hit the EAST COAST.... I'll surely try my best to JOIN IN AGAIN!!!

btw... your gear was not too shabby either

I won't be discouraging you from moving---that just means you'll be closer to us

these are wonderful Gene especially the turtle and Robin

Nice shots.......I love the landscape with the trees, buds, gentle colors....excellent. I never would have thought of shooting this area......great capture.

It was really good spending time with you and Penny - and the rest of the gang. I hope we can do it again soon.

After being back in California for a few days, I'm ready to pack up everything and move to New York. The energy in NYC REALLY draws me to that great city. Also, the air is clean and there's much more than skyscrapers.

I took this first picture from the Circle LIne Cruise Boat. This is the woods with the trees getting their spring leaves located near Sugar Hill.

The other bird pictures and the turtle were all taken in Central Park.

I'm ready to start planning another trip to NYC and I know that PhotoExpo is coming sometime in October. What do all of you think about planning another Gathering around that time? Think about it!

Best Regards.

P.S. And yes, I'm sure that Paul's pictures are a lot better than mine. You should have seen the glass he had attached to his camera!

I especially enjoyed the Cardinal shot (get it? cardinal shot) because it;s VA's state bird, and hey, it's a great shot

Bad news from me: I can't find the 3 rolls of B+W I shot on the trip I'm always losing film and refinding it though so it'll probably pop up again in no time.

Again, great shots Gene!

Penny,

The one you took from the water of the Colgate clock. The twin red brick towers to the right and behind them is my building. I don't know that I can count up to my 30th floor so maybe I am not in the picture afterall.
