This is just down the street from B&H, which is a wonderful place to visit.

It's on Seventh Avenue and 34th Street

That's near Madison Square Gardens (where the big basketball is in the pic). I believe you're at 34th St. and W. 7th Ave., if I remember my NYC geography correctly. :)

p.s. It's also where Penn Station is.

Very nice shot. Did you take a photo of the B&H shop?

I'm using Canon 350d and just ordered 17-40L from B&H website to replace my kit lens. The reason I ordered this lens is because I have seen many great photos that you took with this 17-40L. Your photos, especially cityscape, really inspired me. Thank you very much, Sam.

Nice picture. The first thing I noticed was the 9 million poster.

If I'm not mistaken, this is at the corner of 34th Street and 7th Avenue, outside of Madison Square Garden. For someone who came up from the Subway entrances daily for a year, the Tourneau building is unmistakable. :)

34th and 7th; two blocks east of B&H.

That's 7th Avenue at the corner of 33rd Street. You were standing near the Hotel Pennsylvania, opposite Madison Square Garden (to the left from your photo). Walk 2 blocks in that direction down 33rd at you're at B&H.

Sam, this would be the intersection of 34th St. and 7th ave. B&H is two avenue blocks west of this, on ninth ave. A shame you had to get lost in what I consider the worst part of NYC -- midtown really isn't New York, trust me. We're all ashamed of it here, actually. I hope you made it to the lower and upper east side, or the upper west. It's much, much nicer in those areas.

What kind of lense did you use for this one?

The tall building on the left is Madison Square Garden. You are standing on the NE corner of 7th and 34th. You needed to walk 2 blocks West to 9th avenue and 34th. =)

that's probably 7th avenue :)

great pic, by the way.

What a confused mess on the road. Nervy cop out there doing something - presumably directing traffic.

It's messy scenes like this that makes me appreciate my old age in the country. The worlds cities are a mess.

Nice capture of everyday life.

pull up the high-res and look at the street names next to Footaction :)

NYC came terribly dirty on this one

Beautiful photo!!! The location in question in this pic is the SW corner of 34th St & 7th Ave in Manhattan, NYC.

Wow! I love the way that the ninemillion.org billboard seems to be the only thing that matters amid all of the hustle and bustle. Great capture

just a thought, since the signs for the street corner are in the picture, but in the far background, can't you zoom in and check? Or wait until someone from new york tells you. :)

Hello,
I love this picture, great composition, like most of the pict you put on your photoblog.
i'am an everyday visitor from france, i just love your photos and today i wanted to say hello :)

bye

That's 34th and 7th Ave. In the far left of the picture you can see the entrance to Madison Square Garden and Penn Station.

this is the intersection of 34th st and 7th ave, you can see the entrance to penn station on the far right

So much to absolutely adore about this image. One of my favorites from you. Almost every inch of it has a mini story unfolding for the imagination to run away with. And how cool would it be to have a photo up there, that size...larger than life...for everyone to see? *dreams happily And then, then, you went to b&h!! I have an order from them arriving in a couple of days. B&H -- photographer's heaven, and you got to enter through their pearly gates! I can only imagine how wonderful that experience was!

Looks like the intersection of 34th street, Broadway, and Avenue of the Americas.

this is 34th street and 7th avenue. the little basketball you see to the left of the picture is the entrance to Madison Square Garden. love your pictures, btw.

This Manhattan intersection is Seventh Avenue and West 34th Street, standing in front of Macy's while looking towards the southwest corner.

Just a guess, but I'd say it's at the corner of 7th and 34th street. Nice shot.

and did you get something from the store?

You're looking southwest at W 34th St & Penn Plz in that photo, just a block north of Madison Square Gardens.

=)

Today's photo is looking down 7th Avenue at 34th St. towards Maddison Square Garden (notice the big basketball in the shot?). An overhead shot of Google Maps showing the cross-hatch in the street is here:

so, i can't quite tell if we have figured out where this photo was taken. maybe i will be the 22nd person to throw their 2 cents in....naaaa. who cares where this is. isn't it about the photo? i would rather comment on the photo and say that i like the lines in the street. nice composition...the horizontals, verticals and diagonals.

Very cool Sam, love the perspective and wideangle effect!

i'm a chinese,i think your photos are great,i like it very much.i want to be a photographer in the future.
王洋，非常喜欢你的照片！

oh boy, this is not a favorite corner of mine. i worked not very far from there for a good while and it is one of the most congested corners of the city. ugh. do you see how the markings on the street are used up from all the traffic? yes, bus, busy busy.you must have taken the picture a tiny while ago.
RV is not in theaters anymore and also there is no longer a #9 train. it was a version of the 1 train that ran only during rush hours... weird, i know.
behind you was macy*s, that giant dept. store btw.

Nice angle (lining it up with the intersection cross hatch) and good action. The sky seems a bit over exposed...

CrankinPhoto is now CrankPhoto. See the new site.
You are being Cranked!

watching it and missing new york..
great picture!

So B+H is around this area huh... I just ordered my 100mm macro from there, and Im all the way over in Australia! Should arrive this week! Great photo!

there is not just a street!

You know, the streets have signs on those posts. The sign is even there in your picture. Iw as goign to say it looks like you're right by Penn Station, but it looks like others beat me to it.

I like the way you shoot buildings... diagonally
