Excellent pictures, I like the 5th one the most.

Which camera are you using? Just look like a post card. Nice take...

I like the composition in #2. #3 is a chamber of commerce brochure shot. I like how the water and green soften the concrete and steel.

First the camera, a Nikon D200, but as most know that doesn't matter much. The lens for almost everything was an old Sigma 28mm, f2.8 Mini-Wide manual lens. There were a couple shots in this next set that are with the Sigma 105 macro.

We went down to see the LST-325 in the second pic. It's docked here for a few days then leaving to go to it's resting place.

There's also a sub here permenantly.

And there was a rib cookoff going on at Heinze field.

They had a band playing. He's a local guy so he does alot around here.

I really like #5. Did you take it from Mt. Washington? I don't remember that view from the last time i was up there.

The last three shots in the first post were from Mt Washington. #5 was at the lower end, the other two up past the incline.

I like them all but #2 "really floats my boat" if you will pardon the pun.

the incline.

For those of you that don't know what the incline is that was mentioned.

It's those two cars that go up and down the hill.

Love the clouds in that first bunch of shots. Makes me want to throw a circular polarizer on my lens and go out shooting...

cool shots Jesse....LOL, but it makes me glad I moved away from the city! Dang, forget double parking, they are quadruple parked and in boats! (Shrug) and I thought NY was bad .

Don't worry Louis, I don't live there either, but it is only about a half hours drive for me. It's nice being close at times, (Hockey season), but we're far enough away that the city life doesn't affect us. We're only close to one marina for boat parking. We are looking into getting one within the next couple years. Luckily, I know the guy that owns it, but it's still gonna cost an arm and a leg to dock there.

I like the 1st shot the most, +1 on liking the clouds in the first few shots
