Couple of the Wavertree sailing cargo ship which is docked the South Street Seaport Museum at Pier 16. It was built in 1885 in Southampton, England of wrought iron and the largest of its kind afloat. It was acquired by the museum in 1968 and restored.

Serge cool bridal photo at Central Park! Looks like some soft light the photographers are directing at her.
The thread is definitely slow, will try and contribute some more later today.
Thanks, saph. Bow bridge is a popular spot for bridal shoots as is Bethesda Fountain. In the photo of the former which I posted earlier, there is also bridal photo session in the center. Not sure why photographers do this on weekends given the large crowds.
It is slow but suspect with the fall colors coming soon, it will get the juices flowing.
Andy, that is a particular lens aberration called coma. The better the lens geometry, and lens coatings - the better the lens can cope with coma WIDE OPEN. A quick way to almost eliminate coma from any lens is to stop down to f5.6 (generally the sharpest aperture). HERE IS A LINK on various lens aberrations. Problem is if you stop down you can't lengthen the exposure much past 20 seconds or you will get star trails on all the stars. Upping the ISO too much adds noise.

Yeah, you're right, I think it's the 20UD, not good at the edges wide open.
I do have a 14mm Rokinon but obviously not eligible, and it's behaving strangely on my Z6.
thanks Samy, if only !
