Montreal By Night - Complexe Desjardins
It's Wise To Compromise
During a walk one pleasant evening, I came across this colorful atrium.
The ceiling caught my eye first, specifically the diamond-shaped panels that were lit with multi-colored gels. First, I set up a shot that isolated the ceiling, but I decided to include the steps, doors, and shiny metal railings in an alternate composition.
My trusty 24mm perspective control lens kept the vertical lines under control. I had to maneuver the tripod over some cracks in the sidewalk. I leveled the camera and focused carefully.
Capturing the ceiling was tricky. Those diamond-shaped panels changed colors constantly. A long shutter speed wouldn't work, because as the colors changed, they morphed into a bland amber. I sped things up by boosting the ISO to a stop above the base value and opening the aperture from f/11 to f/8. These modest compromises yielded a shutter speed that was fast enough to capture the unique colors of one cycle of lights.
Voilà! A shot to remember!

The Church of St Catherine of Siena
In additional to serving local parishioners, The Church of St. Catherine of Siena on the Upper East Side of Manhattan serves the staff and visitors of two neighboring hospitals - The Hospital for Special Surgery and the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
St. Catherine of Siena, a Fourteenth-Century Dominican philosopher and theologian, is one of the two patron saints of Italy (the other being St. Francis of Assisi) and one of six patron saints of Europe.
The church seems modest as one walks past, but it is beautifully kept by the Dominicans. If you are in the neighborhood, please consider stopping by for a few moments of reflection. Visitors are always welcome.

Place D'Armes - Montréal
Basilique Notre-Dame de Montréal on Easter Sunday
It was Easter Sunday, but the -6C weather felt like the middle of January. By the time I finished shooting in this square (La Place D'Armes), my hand were numb.
But what a beautiful basilica! And what a beautiful view from the square! This shot was worth a bit of discomfort.

Columbus Circle
Pulse Of The City
Columbus Circle is in constant motion. It's one of the most dynamic intersections in the city. Life races through here twenty-four hours a day.
Would you like to get a sense of what New York is all about? Do you have only a short time? I suggest that you begin at Columbus Circle. Stand here for a few minutes watching.
Watch the traffic. Watch the shoppers. Watch the taxis, the busses, and the seasoned pedestrians.
Watch the tourists try to negotiate the complex crosswalks. Watch the expensive cars and the guests at the grand hotels. Watch the performers at the edge of the park.
Spend some time in Columbus Circle, the ultimate gateway to the New York experience.
