NYC, and NJ's Mugs

[coloradoamigo]

I got very few decent shots from my business trip to NJ/NYC, but the weather cleared up nicely on Thursday evening, when we went into the city to see my supervisor's aunt. She lives in a very nice (but small) apartment in the heart of NYC on the 42nd floor. Some of the best views of the city from here. There were two things I wished I had when I was on the balcony of her apartment, and that is a wider wide angle lens, and a tripod. That being said, it was a great time to take pictures when we were at her place because the sun was setting, creating very nice light. Of the night pics, this was the only one that came out halfway decent (see wishing for tripod, above). I balanced the camera on the balcony railing and handheld it at 1.3sec.
The last shot here is where Paul and I went to eat (damn that tomato!!). I believe it was in Raritan, NJ. (correct if wrong Paul). I really wish the weather was better that evening because the parts of the Doris Duke estate that Paul took me through were great. Could have had some great shots there. Next time....

Your first 2 shots had some really beautiful sunlight illuminating the buildings...great view! Good work.

we were lucky we picked this night to go to meet up with Marla, because this was the ONLY night of the week I was there that was nice.

Thanks again,

Brian ,

that perspective of MUGS make that small town look like a shot of a side street in MANHATTAN!!!!

just so everyone knows......

that road has a 25mph speed limit and 2 traffic lights in town ;)

It's not much of a shot, but I like the cross at the far end of the image.
Yeah, definitely NOT Manhattan, but like Paul, I would rather live out near nature than the island. Lots of small towns around there.

Awesome, wish I could have been there to see it. I love storms and I'm a total weather geek. All we have been getting here lately is afternoon storms, still nice, but not nearly as cool as those storms at night.

We were fortunate to arrive at her apartment at the time we did to catch the nice light, and even more fortunate that it was not raining, considering how it was the rest of the week we were there.
