I Broke My Camera 248/376

While setting up and making adjustments for day 247 I knocked over the tripod that was holding my 50D and 24-70 f/2.8 L series lens. I think the lens is ok but the camera is in dire straits. It’s going back to Canon for repair. I’m keeping my fingers crossed…..

I think my old Rebel might still be functional but that thing was on the fritz (constantly rebooting after pressing the shutter button) for several months before I retired it. I hope to continue my 365 project uninterrupted but that remain to be seen.

I’m so F#%king depressed!!!

This was taken with a P&S before I shipped it off for repair.

Spooky Light 247/365

My front door from the inside and gel’ed strobe out on the porch. It could have been better but this is my last shot. There’s a sad story that explains why...

Withering on the Vine 246/365

These were two tomatoes that were never picked for one reason or another.

The Pile 245/365

It’s a 2-3 ft pile of rocks but deceptively hidden among the leaves

Looking Up 244/365

A different prospective of the fall colors. Under the tree, in the rain, looking up.

Someplace different 243/365

I drove past this house and the color from the side of the building jumped out at me. So I came back… Canon 50D with Sigma 12-24mm at f/8~1/80sec~iso 400~24mm

All’s Quiet 242/365

A slow night at the firehouse, thankfully!

The Carnival Comes to Town 241/365

As a kid I loved everything about the carnival, the rides, the games of chance, the sweet treats, etc. Now I see them as a rip off and an accident waiting to happen.

Dawn 240/365

The Mobil Building as the city awakens and comes to life. Shot with Canon 50D and 24-70 f/2.8L at f/8~1/13sec~24mm~ISO 2000

A Fractured World 239/365

Acorns 238/365

Shadows 237/365

Afternoon Light 236/365

Sometimes you get lucky and you’re at the right place, at the right time, and you have your camera too. The west side of the Empire State Building reflecting the setting sun.

River Boat 235/365

The extended family took a 60 mile Hudson River Cruise from Midtown Manhattan to Newburg NY to celebrate my fathers 76^th birthday. The weather was horrible, cold, windy, and rain but the fall colors are underway.

Family Effort 234/365

My wife's idea, including the layout. My daughters leaf.

Stuck at Work III - 233/365

I had to work some crazy hours, as a result I had no time to pick up the camera. Rather than leaving holes in my project I’ll use other shots that didn’t get posted.

Some kind of waterfowl. Shot taken on 9/17

Stuck at Work II - 232/365

I had to work some crazy hours, as a result I had no time to pick up the camera. Rather than leaving holes in my project I’ll use other shots that didn’t get posted.

I just love this. No post processing involved. Shot taken on 10/18.

Stuck at Work I - 231/365

An abandoned building on the Hudson River. Shot taken on 10/18.

Tracks 230/365

Looking west down the RR tracks. Penn Station is 27.4 miles away. Too bad it was such a dull gray day.

Caught in the box 229/365

Taken from 16 stories above the intersection of 7^th Ave and 53^rd St at 320am.

Neighhh 228/365

Spent the night in The City because of work and I took my camera when we went to grab dinner. The horse & buggy drivers were waiting at the tourist hotels hoping for business. Shot with a Canon 50D & 24-70L at f/2.8~1/15sec~ISO1000~62mm~Ev-1.33.

Mini Falls - Take II 227/365

Better than my previous attempt but I still showed up at the wrong time of day. This time I remembered to bring the ND8 filter.

ALDS Game 2 – Yankees vs. Twins 226/365

Texecuted! My daughter took me to the ALDS playoff game as a birthday present. Without a doubt it was the most electrifying sporting event of my life. We sat in the right field bleaches with the faithful “Bleacher Creatures.” The place was rocking! Mark Teixeira (25) hit a walk-off homerun in the bottom of 11^th that sent the place into a frenzy. This is Tex at a previous at bat. It’s my best action shot of him. Shot with a Canon 50D and a Sigma 50-500 at f/5.6~1/100sec~iso1000~500mm and a monopod.

Into The Bowels Of The City 225/365

I know its not the deepest subway station but its still a long way down, the 7 at 42nd St. Grand Central.

K 224/365

Taken in a very dark room and lit with a single LED keychain light.

I wonder where he’s going?

Bubbles 221/365

I was struggling to come up with a creative idea for today’s post when my wife suggested bubbles. I couldn’t decide which one I liked more so I’m posting both.

Little Drops of Rain 220/365

And a tiny fly too….

Man Made Falls 219/365

We’ve got these 6ft tall elephant ear plants growing in the yard that naturally repel water. When it rains heavily the cascade of water is very appealing. This was a failed attempt to recreate mother natures beauty without being out in the rain with my gear.

Straphanger – 218/365
