stuny Posted May 24, 2007 Share #1 Posted May 24, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) The first image is from today. I’ve been trying to capture this one for several weeks, but could never get the exposure balanced. Today at about 3:00 PM it finally came together. In the foreground is an eagle over the south west entrance to Grand Central Terminal. In the mid ground is a sculpture over the main, 42nd street entrance to Grand Central. In the background is the Chrysler Building. I’ve posted the second and third images before, but have added them, so you can see how the separate elements fit together. You’ll find these and others scattered on the 5th, 6th and 7th New York pages of our site. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JE Posted May 24, 2007 Share #2 Posted May 24, 2007 Stuart, the first shot is very nice with the three planes, each with great detail. It looks almost like a collage. Well done. Jonathan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

biglouis Posted May 24, 2007 Share #6 Posted May 24, 2007 A lovely series of shots. I like the first one very much. Somehow you have managed to capture a fantastic feeling of luminance on the Chrysler builder. Excellent. LouisB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
masjah Posted May 24, 2007 Share #7 Posted May 24, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Stuart Nicely achieved juxtaposition! You've managed to keep the Pan-Am building (whosever it is now) either off-frame or hidden by the main subjects. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted May 24, 2007 Author Share #8 Posted May 24, 2007 Brian & Big - Thank you. John - Thank you. It is labeled and called the Met Life building -- at least by newbies. It will always be the Pan Am building to many of us. that building is well of to the left of the frame: We are looking east, and the Pan Am building is north at the far end of Grand Central. BTW: One of my colleagues has in his office in that building a first class Pan Am tray of fine Pa Am china and flatware, and an astonishing menu from about 1950. things have changed.

Talus Posted May 25, 2007 Share #9 Posted May 25, 2007 Very well composed! Congratulations. I'm glad that it finally came together for you. Just curious, how long did it take for you to get to this point? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted May 25, 2007 Author Share #10 Posted May 25, 2007 Mr. G - Thank you. the day I took the picture of the eagle (2 months ago?) it struck me that I should do the image with the three elements and a blue sky. I tried that day, but I did not like the results. I tired again for the next 2 months, one to three times a week. Yesterday, the D2 and the time caught what other days, times and the FX07 did not.

LichMD Posted May 25, 2007 Share #11 Posted May 25, 2007 Stuart, just found this. What great point view! Knowing where this is and the angle from which you shot it I can see why it took you a while to get it. Lovely collage effect, composition and detail.
