Lovin’ the T/S Jimmy, it’s on my wishlist. But it’s the reflections that make this image. I’m wondering if there’s a crop to be had here of just the vehicles.
Thanks guys. Doug, I considered a crop of the vehicles, but I dunno – just seems to work better this way for me with the context of the buildings in the bkground. I also tried cropping the reflections off, but as you can imagine that didn’t work so well either
Err… I’ll comment in English if that’s ok. Great timing: you caught a forming see of yellow cabs which is always nice. I like the contrast of colors between the very vivid ones of the traffic and the building toned down.

I LOVE this shot! I’ve always wondered how to take a refreshing shot of Columbus Circle. Well this is it! Wow! I think this must be my favorite shot of the week. Out of curiosity, what shutter speed/white balance did you use? I guess this was at around 5pm seeing how things are around here lately. Again, lovely shot!

i really like this shot! i like the warm band of colours (created by the lights) that goes across the bottom of the shot. just above it, you get the cool blues. nicely done!
[...] This new lensbaby lens looks like it finally bridges the gap between expensive Tilt-Shift lenses and their old line of plastic. The older versions of the Lensbaby had always been a gimmick to me. It was a nice way to get some selective focus, but the optics weren’t good enough to give you the clean bokeh of a True Tilt-Shift lens and they really didn’t offer any advantage to the DIY Plunger Cam.

Doug photographer/umpire in Boston 11/8/07Really nice shot. I love the DOF with the traffic light and TWC Towers in the background. Wet streets always make for great photo ops.
