Hi Doc,
Thankyou!
Yep, we moseyed around the whole Park and ventured around by using all the 'wooded trails' - by Belvedere castle, the lakes on the west side, etc. then skidaddled east by the zoo etc.
The 'stark contrasts' made for some nice compositions and the 'long shadows' (when the sun came out on Sunday) were awesome. Speaking of that sunny Sunday, before heading up from Penn, we detoured to Grand Central for some pix. It wasn't too crowded but with the 'sides' of the tops of both staircases 'closed off' - it meant you were ONLY allowed to take pix from a 'confined' area - along with all the tourists.
For the Grand Central Terminal shot - I put the M4 on a 'bean bag' and set the self-timer - to expose for 1sec. -- because if you use a tripod in and around 'city buildings' you will get 'hassled'.
Today, Sunday March 2, it's sunny out -- so we intend to go up to the 'Cloisters' to take a looksee.
Cordially,
Gerry
