Serge, I love that interior shot. I lived in NYC for 10 years and somehow managed to never go. George, there’s something about that fisheye shot as well that has great environment too it.
A couple from this morning. It’s been grey all week, fortunately I like B&W.
Matt, glad you enjoyed the photo.
The good news is that it is still there in case you have the opportunity to stop by.

Serge, great shots. I visited in 1997-98 or so and it was a remarkable place. I remember less crowds then, but guess that’s the way of the world.
More 105mm f/2.5 shots to keep things moving. Have some from a few outings so I’ll try and keep it fresh.
Matt, it gets crowded even in the so called off season. This is my first time to visit, tickets are sold by time slots and have to be purchased well in advance. I had to be patient for quite a few of the photographs to allow the coast to clear.
I did not like that they now check and scan passports to verify the ticket holder at each of the three entry points of the tour.
I've been out of pocket this weekend, so I missed seeing some great photography until this evening. Life has been far too hectic to take any photos lately, but I'm hoping to have some time later this week.
Jim, I love the close-ups of the flowers.
Andy, the photo of the dock, mountains, and clouds is incredible!
Serge, nice photos of the Guggenheim Museum. I hope to visit it if I ever make it back to NY.
George, great use of the fisheye. The Outer Banks is on my bucket list.
Matt, nice use of B&W. It seems very fitting for those scenes.
Leighton, love the sunrise photos and the flowers at the market.
Rafael, nice use of a beautiful lens. Also, I really like the phonograph photo.
An ad popped up on FB Marketplace this afternoon for a Nikon camera and two lenses. I took a chance and went to see if there was anything worthwhile. The camera turned out to be a Nikon FE. The owner thought that it was broken, but it just needed a battery for the electronic shutter. The lady didn't care, though, because she was just using it as decoration. The lenses were a Nikkor-O 35/2 AI and a 200/4 AI. It also included an MD-12 motor drive. Got the whole lot for $30. I just couldn't pass it up.
I tried a 12-image stack, but it had way too many artifacts to clean up. I even see a few that I missed here. Actually, I think the shallower depth of field works better anyway.

Love it Ken. The total black background and the light on the flowers really makes it pop.

Agree with controlling the depth of field Ken. I don't stack often but I don't usually end up using all the images in the stack. Nicely done and lit!
