Bryant Park is a fairly small park in central Manhattan, right next to the New York Public Library and a street away from Times Square. This was taken on our first full day out in NYC, having gotten in the night before at about 9pm and, as you can see, the weather was absolutely fantastic.

Most of that day was spent looking at the big tourist attractions and this place provided a much needed rest after a hard day’s walking (at least, by my standards!) If you look to the left of the picture, you’ll see the Empire State Building.

This photo in particular stood out for me. I like the unusual perspective that the 10-22 brings out, and the way the trees creep in from the edge as if growing directly towards the sunlight.

Any regular readers should expect a lot more of these NYC photos for the time being, as I have a couple good ones to show off!

Well, as I mentioned in the blog, I had a little trip to the States where a heck of a lot of photography was done. Very pleased with this shot in particular, taken about 850ft up on top of the Rockefeller Centre in New York City – otherwise known as the Top of the Rock.

This shot was taken with the 10-22, and was stitched together from about 7 images (4 covering the top, 3 on the bottom). CS3′s Photomerge utility is exceptionally good for this, and the ‘inverted fisheye’ you get from it in this case really adds a lot to the character of the photo.
