I do plan on some Grand Central photo's. In fact, I recently took the Citifari 'Landmark' Tour and one stop was Grand Central. It was a great tour of several NYC landmarks (primarily buildings). Like you, I'm working hard to improve my skills. Purchased the DSLR only a few months ago...my learning curve is steep! I realize it will take time. Thanks.

and please keep the camera very close to you. I've heard alot about people pulling the cameras off the shoulders of people. keep a tight hold on your camera strap at all times.

Someone mentioned the tour buses...that could also be a boon because you'd be above the heads of the pedestrians and traffic and they don't move too fast.

WIFE AND I WENT TO NYC AND AT THE END OF WALL STREET IS PIER 17 . GOOD FOOD AND GOOD PHOTOGRAPHY OPPORTUNITIES AS WE ARE INSTANTLY INTERESED IN OLD SHIPS TUG BOATS AND WATER SCENES AND THERE ARE PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITYS THERE . PARKING IS A PAIN AND BY THE WAY THERE IS NO ESCAPING THE TRAFFIC IN NYC EVEN ON A WEEKEND AS THE PEOPLE THERE DO NOT HAVE OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES SO THEY WALK ON THE STREETS MAYBE JUST TO BREATH AIR BUT ITS NUTS .
GOOD LUCK ON YOU PHOTO JOURNEY . DUTCH

Interesting Dutch, as this was one location the future bride asked me to capture (lower Wall Street, Pier 17 area.) I will use the subway as much as possible for the reasons you point out. Thanks.

Good suggestion Elle. Also, the one spot she asked for a photo, a spot that is not located in Manhattan, is Grimaldi's Pizza in Brooklyn. I've been there after walking across the Brooklyn Bridge. The best pizza I've ever had!

JacLee, it is an office building. I'm told the name is the IAC Building.

I will be in NYC for five days the end of the month and it had never occurred to me that NYC's finest may express concerns about a tripod. Now I'm educated on the topic. Thanks, all!

My pleasure. Here's a picture taken from the Staten Island Ferry as we were leaving Manhattan, perhaps the bride will want something like this as well. Also including a picture of the Flatiron Building. There are so many interesting subjects in NYC. St. Patrick's Cathedral, Rockefeller's Plaza, Trinity Church (Broadway and Wall Street), South Street Seaport to name just a few.

As you point out, this area of the City often gets overlooked....and I am guilty of that as well. Morningside Heights, with the Cathedral would make a great photo Op, in fact my friend asked for a photo of the Inwood neighborhood. You have many great suggestions. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

The Flatiron Building is definitely on the list. Thanks.

If you go down to Battery Park City you can get nice pictures of the Statue of Liberty.
Downtown you have City Hall and the Court Buildings
You also have Times Square, Central Park and just plain old people watching/shooting

A composit of famous neon signs with black background can make a spectacular image.

We can always go online and get any picture we desire, but it's not our picture. Isn't taking it ourself the joy of it all? 8-)
