A Different Kind of Landscape

We spent a few days in New York City. Just below Wall Street, I stumbled into the Waterfront area. I liked the worn signs on the side of these buildings. Someday I will need to write about how I got the panoramic projection to not suck, but I kind of like the shot. Keeping lines straight and appropriately parallel in a panoramic can be difficult, especially when the shot was taken handheld like this one was.

Now this shot breaks all the rules of panoramic photography, but I still think it is cool. I was walking through the East Village just snapping a shot every ten steps or so. Then I put together the results. There are all sorts of little misalignments and errors in the panoramic, but in the East Village, I don't think anyone would notice. I also uploaded a bigger version if you are interested.

Kara pointed out this little doorway as we were walking around West Village. There isn't much to say about this one except "cool!" I really like the low-key composition. Part of me wishes I had taken that darn business card off the intercom, but hey, you can't get everything.

This little panoramic was taken in the Trinity Church cemetery at the intersection of Wall Street and Broadway. There were a number of really cool headstones dating back to the late 18th century and the Revolutionary War period. It seems that the cemetery never sees much light in the shadow of all the financial district's skyscrapers. I could make a cynical comment about the irony of a church in the business district, but I won't. It was a really cool church and cemetery--for a guy who doesn't go to church.
