On Lexington Avenue and 55th Street in Manhattan is the landmark Central Synagogue. Built in 1872 in Moorish Revival style it was designed after the Dohany Street Synagogue in Budapest. The twin octagonal towers rise 122 feet up into the surrounding cityscape. But those onion-shaped green cooper domes adorning the tops are the crown jewels. (Best veiwed large for detail such as the man standing between the towers).
@maggiemae - Thx much Maggiemae. I walked all around the block and down a parking garagwe ramp to find this pov, which was the only one that showed off both domes and against that cityscape backdrop.
@summerfield - hahaha youre the best! This was a challenge and I almost walked away until I found the ramp going down into a garage whicch gave me the angle I needed to get this as is.
@brumbe - Thanks Paula. When we spotted this on our walk back we didn;t get a good view. I went back yesterday after work and spent some time circling it to find a really good pov.
FAV Michael. Great shot of the jewel in Manhattan. I am travelling in Europe and post daily, but really can't look at people's uploads, and I feel terrible.
I'm so glad you took the time to really look around for your shot. I really like the way the buildings all look like they're stacked up like blocks. Nice glow on the domes. Fav!
@sparkle - thx very much. I loved this shot as I was taking it. But sometimes not sure if it's just me. But everyone seems to like it very much. So I'm glad.
@michaelelliott sometimes it's good to try new stuff. I've lost a fair few followers becasue I've been experimenting, but i'm finding I'm getting more pleasure with not taking the "easy option" every day!
@sparkle - yeah I feel you. I'm at point where I want to spend more time on a single shot getting how I want it rather than shooting n posting every day. But I will keep going to the end and then probably do a once a week type of deal.
@michaelelliott Now I'm in year 2 I have taken the pressure off...enjoying doing stuff even when it goes wrong...last year it would've annoyed me, quite enjoying this part of the learning cycle!!
great capture reading through some of your comments I can see how you feel...this is a test! lol..if you make it through the year then you can look at this year as a journal of all the photo's and places you want to recapture ..and also know how people react to each photo!!. You are FAB and FaVed!!
love your PoV and how you include different architectures...
love it!
