Vol. 2 No. 27
While Worldwide Photo Walk Officials sought out the problems encountered with the contest deadline, I thought I would share some of my captures. Since I lead the walk, I am not eligible to compete. I will be selecting a local winner who will go on to compete against other photo walk winners worldwide for some great prizes.
So here are a few of my shots...
I will be posting a few images captured by our walk participants that were submitted to our flickr® group later this week.

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/.

Arriving after 6:00 pm, the sky was filling with clouds with a storm front approaching from the west. This made for an interesting sky.
Offering a fantastic view of Lower Manhattan, from Pier 1 looking north up the East River you can see the Empire State Building framed by the Brooklyn Bridge and to the south there's Governor's Island and the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbour. These first 2 images are examples of HDR photography. Each high dynamic range photograph consists of several different exposures of the same image combined.
This section of the East River is the entranceway from the Harbour and is extremely busy with marine traffic. From the Water Taxi crossing over to the South Street Seaport in Manhattan, to the tugs, pleasure craft and sightseeing cruises, Pier 1 offers a great viewing experience.
This definitely has the makings of a mid-week sunset photo walk. If you're interested, let me know. If you would like more information about the park visit www.brooklynbridgepark.org.

Last Sunday my wife and I took a drive to Red Hook Brooklyn to visit the new IKEA store that opened in the summer of 2008. The 300,000+ square foot store is was built on the site of the old dry docks located right along the waterfront. The maze of a store is just one attraction.
The waterfront area adjacent to the store's parking lot has been revitalized. Huge spotlit gantry cranes majestically hold a place on their respective piers. The waterfront provides a place to sit and stroll while enjoying the views across the Erie Basin and Red Hook Channel.
In addition to the gantries and the pier side views, this new area offers many more photographic opportunities. There are several displays of shipyard hardware such as tools, bollards and mooring lines. Each offering a selection of colors and patterns waiting to be captured. Plenty of details to focus on.
The area is serviced by the NY Water Taxi IKEA Express which has departures to Wall Street's Pier 11 in Manhattan every 40 minutes. Definitely a unique way to visit. There is also a ton of free parking. And don't forget, IKEA serves the best Swedish meatballs. Enjoy.
