Trying for the perfect take

Another oldie today … one of my favourite nighttime photos shot with the iPhone 4.
Visiting New York in February 2011, I came across a couple of kids recording some skateboarding videos at Columbus Circle in Manhattan as I was walking back to my hotel near to Lincoln Center.
With every take they made they got better at what they were doing … and I got to practice my panning skills.

From one icon to another

This is what a southerly view looked like from Rockefeller Center in New York, upon my last visit there back in August 2011. More photos from that trip can be seen here.
