Cleopatra’s Needle (in Central Park)

Joergen — Fri, 28 Jan 2011 03:06:13 +0000

Cleopatra’s Needle (Wiki) isn’t really associated with Cleopatra, and predates her quite a bit (1450BC), and Wiki has the full story about how it got to New York in 1880… it may very well be the oldest human-crafted object out in the public in NYC.

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 ice at the moment.

Cop Cot in Central Park (II)

Joergen — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 00:30:30 +0000

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 will give it another try in winter, given that we will ever see snow again …

Alice in Central Park (II)

Joergen — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 02:30:42 +0000

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

Joergen — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 04:15:05 +0000

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 statue, almost like a playground piece. About 500 megapixel

Hans Christian Anderson revisited

Joergen — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 04:00:01 +0000

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, and the lens I was using back then was producing way too many flares. It …

Central Park: Sheep Meadow

Joergen — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 03:20:30 +0000

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.
