Belvedere Castle (Central Park)
The view from the castle, which is an odd piece of architecture in my opinion to begin with, is really nice, especially the view of the Delacorte Theater and the Turtle Pond, which didn’t seem to have any ducks on …
Cop Cot in Central Park (II)
This is another attempt to photograph the cop cot. The first one was beautiful, snow and everything, so I was hoping to recreate some of the magic, but I guess this scene is really difficult with out snow, so I …
Alice in Central Park (II)
This is another attempt to capture the sculpture in an interesting panoramic way, I am not completely happy yet, and will have to wait for some night to try it again. Here is the previous attempt: newyorkpanorama.com/2008/08/20/alice-in-central-park
Alice in Central Park
Alice in Wonderland (by José de Creeft) was commissioned by George Delacorte for his wife in 1959 and is said to be the most beloved statue in Central Park. It is certainly, together with Hans Christian Anderson, the most approachable …
Hans Christian Anderson revisited
I visited the Hans Christian Anderson statue in Central Park in Winter 2007 (snow pano), but I was never happy with the result. The snow was nice, but there were tons of foot prints, the composition had to real weight, …
Central Park: Sheep Meadow
Spring has finally arrived, and the cherries are blossoming. The Sheep Meadow is still officially closed until the grass is strong enough. This panorama wasn’t easy to shoot, since the meadow is pretty much completely unlit. About 250 megapixel.
Central Park: The Pond
Now that winter seems to be over in NY, and the trees almost start blooming, I went back into the park. The Pond surrounds a small animal sanctuary, and without leaves on the trees, the reflections on the water are …
Central Park complete
I took another Central Park panorama, similar to “Moon over Central Park,” only with higher resolution, and only 180 degree, instead of 270 degree view and 4 blocks north of the previous park panorama. I think one can see a …
Moon over Central Park
Central Park at night is spectacular, especially when you can have the complete park in one picture. Right in the middle is not a corner of the park, but it is Central Park West, the 280 degree view just let …
’round midnight
The lake in Central Park is simply called The Lake. Going to the Hearnshead at midnight was a bit scary, whoever you meet at that time is either scared of you, or you should be scared of them. Shooting on …
The Rock
I shot this panorama the same night as I shot “Hearnshead.” It was really cold, and Peter was already a bit complaining about the cold. We found one of the many strange rock formations that are very common in Central …
Ducks on Ice
Not a single turtle in the turtle pond near the castle in Central Park, but sleeping ducks, and two racoons in the bushes. Digital, about 26000x7000px.
Hans Christian Anderson
Only one duck was out that night. And I had no idea Hans Christian Anderson was sitting here all by himself. Digital, about 26000x7000px.
The Cop Cot (Central Park South)
Nights in Manhattan full of those beautyfully wasted photons. Just get out and capture some of them. Digital, about 25700x8000px.
