Benjo, those are awesome! I've heard NYC is an awesome city to go see. My sister was there a few months ago.

In your pics of the cityscape, where would the trade centre buildings have been?

Sweet Benj!
Thanks for sharing man. What an incredible city, huh? I remeber the first time I saw times square at night....holy crap!! Thanks for the refresher!!

Yea I've been to NYC many times. It's about a 45 minute drive from where I live, 32 Miles to be exact.

I live on Long Island matter of fact let me find a map...

Okay I found one




On the left is Manhattan. That Island that is almost connected to the main land on the left is Manhattan. On the right where Queens and Brooklyn are that’s all Long Island. Queen and Brooklyn on in Long Island but they are so famous people don't realize it's all on one Island. I'm about half was down them middle of Long Island you see where the Rail Road line is Burgundy and it says, Pinelawn, Deerpark, Wyndanch that’s around where I live. I live in Brentwood the next station over from there. It's almost a completely Hispanic neighborhood I live in. We even have our own Puerto Rican Day parade out here.

Magnus I forgot to bring in the shot of lower Manhattan. I’ll bring it in tomorrow and post it. I didn’t like the way it came out cause I don’t have a zoom but he skyline looks great so I probably should have brought it in anyway.

I was thinking and man I need a professional or at least a prosumer Digital Camera. I’m going to PR in about three weeks so I’ll have plenty of new pics form my Native Island. But my wife wants to go back up at night. Man I have to have a good camera cause I want to get a lot of night pictures at a near perfect quality. The Skyline is completely different at night. Every building seems to leave there light on it makes for an amazing picture.

Thank you Benj......you knwo how i LOVE NYC...my dad was just there a few weekend ago for business.....met up with my cousin for dinner....and actually went to that AMC to see a movie in Times Square. HE stayed in the Crown Plaza Time Square.....which is where I stayed the second time i was there...the first was the WTC Marriott. One day I'll live there....one day....

Benjo,

Thanks you... really...those are awesome reference shots for my comic stuff. I will be taking these

'I will become the most powerful Jedi ever!'

No problem. Actually I'm going to upload them to stock exchange. I get alot of free stock photos from there
and I feel this would make a nice contribution.

The Full-Res ones come in at around 1.4 megs each. Just think of the cool as wallpapers you can make out
of these. Actual size is 2048 x 1536 at 180 DPI, thats three mega pixels.

I'll let you know when I upload them so you have the real thing. Unless you want to use just these for now.

those are awesome....get a fish eye lense

JUST LAUNCHED - www.hirethisdesigner.com - check it out

The photos are nice Benjo. Thanks.

I've been to NYC once... and HATED it. The air was so icky! I didn't have a cold when I went, but after a day of tromping around The City I got back to the hotel room, blew my nose and it was BLACK. I was so grossed out. All day I knew the air was a lot ickier than i'm used to, but that was royally gross.

I went to the Statue of Liberty, that was neat (didn't get to go up in it cause it was closed though). I saw 'Ground Zero' (it was a few months after the Trade Towers fell... that's why the SoL was closed). I visited Central Park, Times Square, Macy*s, etc. I think I saw most of the 'major' touristy stuff there and visited a couple clubs recommended by other rugby chicks (I was there for a Rugby tourney on LI, but we came a couple days early and took the train into NYC to see stuff).

I had fun and saw some neat stuff, but I would never want to live there... and probably won't be going back anytime soon.

"Who am I? Where did I come from? Who are these demons, and why do they relentlessly cross my path?"

Oh, the rugby tourney was in Rockville Center... or something like that.

"Who am I? Where did I come from? Who are these demons, and why do they relentlessly cross my path?"

Rockerfeller Center.....

Wow Madora that sounds like a bad experience. I do admit that once you hit NJ you smell oil in the air. But I guess we are all used to it by now.

Nope, that's in NYC iirc. We stayed somewhere on Long Island and took that MTA (the train thing Benjo posted the map for) into The City.</div>

"Who am I? Where did I come from? Who are these demons, and why do they relentlessly cross my path?"

Eh, guess I'm just used to that fresh country air. Also, the recent collapse of the Twin Towers I'm sure probably had something to do with some of the ickiness in the air.</div>

"Who am I? Where did I come from? Who are these demons, and why do they relentlessly cross my path?"

Awesome pictures Benjo. I get vacation time after November, and I'm already planning a trip to NYC. I have some friends and family up there, and I'm dying to go. I've driven through the city, but never got the chance to hang out there.
