I'm going to New York later this week to see some family members. I'll be there all weekend. Last year, I took some terrific shots, including:
Because I'm a planner (to the point that I probably drive everyone around me crazy), I took some time to think about 1) Whether or not to take my gear, because I'd be busy with family and 2) What to try to shoot. Some options:
1) More pictures of my sister and niece - both are very photogenic, plus I should work on being at least passable in this area.
2) Buildings - there are many tall buildings with lots of glass. I could play with reflections. I saw something in the latest issue of Popular Photography that made me think of this.
3) Hotel interiors - not everyone is staying at the same hotel, so I could practice my hotel photography, but I don't think NYC hotels are all that inspiring, except for a few.
I'm going to go for 1) and 2) and see how they work for me. My obsessive self has already entered a calendar reminder to pack everything. I'll most likely take almost everything with me. The telephoto lens could really come in handy on this trip. All I really need is time - I'll have to work on that.
Till tomorrow!
