I decided to go high-resolution again, and caught some early morning shots in the cold. No signs yet of Spring, but the wind has died down a bit, so, that is a sign of perhaps the early end of Winter. But, we'll see. I've heard that snow may fall on Saturday and Sunday, so, we'll see.

F/6.3, 1/200, ISO 4000, 135 mm - The Walgreens Pharmacy sign in Times Square is a familiar sight to this New Yorker.

F/4, 1/80, ISO 8000, 18mm - The entrance to Grand Central Terminal as well as the walkway next to it - are familiar sights to those of us who go home or go to work in this are.

F/4, 1/80, ISO 8000, 18mm - Starbucks has become a popular place on 45th Street. Many folks stop in for some coffee and maybe more.

F/5.6, 1/80, ISO 8000, 135 mm - One more - sculpture of Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt, Builder of The New York Central Railroad and one of the notable railroad barons of the 19th century.

Thank you Mike :) I find that holding the camera with two hands is much more effective - especially when the subject is a dark shot - than holding the camera with one. Sometimes I have to remind myself of this truism. :thumbup:

Thank you Irvingite. :thumbup:

What happened to all the snow ... ? The streets were snow covered in front of Starbucks on the 17th ... !

Hello RLS, well, they have a pretty good crew for cleaning up snow from the area in the Grand Central Terminal region, and they did a good job of clearing away the snow. Yes, I agree, it is surprising in a way, but I am also quite glad they did so. :thumbup:

You are eiither an extremely dedicated photographer or you just got a new camera in order to be out photographing so early on such an extremely COLD morning. Either way...Cheers!

MOSFET Loc: Bronx

I have a friend who lives in Southwest Pennsylvania who tells me it is incredibly cold over there.

MOSFET Loc: Bronx

Dbez1 - I am a combination of both, dedicated to getting better, and focusing initially on things that are nearby before branching out, bit by bit, to tackle new photographic challenges. Thanks so much. I appreciate your enthusiasm. :thumbup: :thumbup:

Good set Dave.

George Kravis

Very good capture, but where were all the people?

MOSFET Loc: Bronx

Thank you, Ebbote :) :thumbup:

MOSFET Loc: Bronx

Dear Mr. Kravis: Most of my shots do not include people, primarily because people tend to be wary of photographers. So, I take the hint and don't photograph people unless they ask me to (which is extremely rare). Furthermore, most shots taken early in the morning are when most people are still asleep.

Thank you very much. :)
