320 - XX Fountain

From 365 Project

Pool and fountain in front of the Exxon Building at 1251 6th Avenue (a.k.a. Avenue of the Americas) and 50th Street in New York City. I tilted the camera to mimic the double "X" in the Exxon logo. This building is part of the Rockefeller Center complex and was built in 1971. IMHO - it doesn't even come close the architectural master piece that is the original Art Deco styled tower. Canon 7D, 1/1600 sec @ f/5.6, ISO 100.

319 - The Bubble Man

The Bubble Man was entertaining young and old alike at the Bethesda Fountain in Central Park this afternoon. The park was full of activity on a beautiful fall Sunday afternoon. Canon 7D, 1/320 sec @ f/5.0, ISO 200, 55mm focal length.

317 - Human/Need/Desire

From 365 Project

Today was my first visit to MoMA. This neon work entitled Human/Need/Desire by Bruce Nauman is in the entrance gallery at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. The neon words cycle through a pulsating cycle until all six light up at the end. Canon 7D, 1/250 sec @ f/4.0, ISO 800.

316 - Mass of Humanity

From 365 Project

There was a mass of humanity as we made our way through Times Square tonight. While digital billboards are what dominate this urban landscape, it the sheer number of people moving through it that amazed me. This must be the most photographed five blocks on the planet. Canon 7D, 1/100 sec @ f/4.0, ISO 800, 19mm equivalent focal length.

315 - 11th

From 365 Project

Veterans Day in the U.S. is also celebrated as Armistice Day or Remembrance Day in other parts of the world, falling on November 11, the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice to end the "Great War" on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918. The day is of particular meaning to me as my father was a decorated Army combat veteran of WWII and the Korean War. I took this photo yesterday since the forecast for a major Nor'easter ruled out today. The Hampton National Cemetery was in tip top shape for the holiday. Canon G10, 1/250 sec @ f/5.6, ISO 200.

314 - Spinning

From 365 Project

The fall colors had me spinning today. It was an overcast day and I was looking for a photo where I wouldn't have too much of a blah sky in the image. I saw this colorful tree off Westover Avenue in Norfolk's Ghent neighborhood and tried a camera rotation technique that I read about in a book by Bryan Peterson on understanding exposure. The camera is pointed up from under the tree and rotated during exposure. Canon G10, 1/4 sec @ f/5.6, ISO 200 with the camera's electronic neutral density filter enabled.
