I intended to go to the pond at Central Park to get some pond shots of the snow falling around it. However, the snow was so light that I was afraid to take the 20 minute ride (if I could even find a cab) only to be too late. So I took a walk on the Esplanade right behind my apartment house.
Most of the snow in this clipper was south of us, as close as Brooklyn and Coney Island getting 4 inches or so, and central New Jersey getting as much as a foot.
The top image is behind my apartment, which overlooks the East River and the next indicates how calm the river was, probably during the 20 minutes between the tidal change. The next three are three blocks north, still on the Esplanade. In case you're wondering, that mouse with teeth sheltering in the young lady's coat is six years old. There's nothing wrong with her. She just walks too slowly.
The last three images are basically the exact same view. The first is an uncropped image, the second is a portrait crop of that image, and the third is a landscape crop of a very similar image, taken just a couple of seconds later.
Which of the two cropped images looks better to you?
BTW, all of these images were taken within 20 minutes or so, and by that time the snow has stopped. Glad I didn't pay a cab over to Central Park.
