What a great day we had photo walking the new Brooklyn Bridge Pier 1 and taking the ride on the Water Taxi to the South Street Seaport. While the temperature soared to a record of 97ºF, with a real feel of 102º, it didn't melt the enthusiasm of our group.
Yesterday's 3rd Annual Scott Kelby Worldwide Photo Walk had a record breaking 1,111 photo walks with over 33,000 walkers participating around the globe.
I'll be posting more photos from this great event and I'll also be sharing some of the images captured by our walk participants. So make sure to check back.

Just a quick black & white of the schooner Pioneer as it heads south on the East River towards New York Harbor. This two-masted sailing vessel was built in 1885 and is over 100 feet long. The Pioneer sails from the South Street Seaport and is owned by the South Street Seaport Museum.
Remember, the 3rd Annual Scott Kelby Worldwide Photo Walk is scheduled for Saturday, July 24, 2010. While the walk I am leading has already reached capacity, there are over 1,000 walks worldwide. To find a walk in your area, visit worldwidephotowalk.com/.

Since I was a few minutes late catching the sunset I had pictured in my head (always masterpieces - at least in my head), I took the opportunity to bracket 7 exposures and create the HDR image below.
High dynamic range (HDR) imaging is a set of techniques that allow a greater dynamic range of luminance between the darkest (shadow) and lightest (highlight) areas of an image than possible in standard photography. The image above was captured on a Nikon D300 at 52mm f/13 ISO 200 with an exposure ranging from 1/20th of a second to 3 seconds. This equated to seven images each 1 stop in difference.
