Is it me or the buildings look kinda skewed?

Posted by shohreh at July 27, 2006 03:07 AMWow, it looks like he is going to hit you.
Posted by Paul Habeeb at July 27, 2006 03:07 AMBeautiful image.
Except the building in the background looks strange, doesn't look real almost.
Posted by Matt at July 27, 2006 04:03 AMBeautiful NY's night.Taxis, park avenue, buldings and lights. (Is it Seagrams bulding?).Congratulations.
Posted by basilio at July 27, 2006 04:21 AMIs it just me or does it look like your about to get run over :-)
Posted by dan clift at July 27, 2006 05:20 AMlove your work. if ever you pass By las Vegas, let me know. I was in Montréal the 3 past year, and now i m performing on the strip with cirque du soleil. Lots of crazyness everyday here ... keep up the great work !

Posted by barth at July 27, 2006 05:33 AMIt looks like you are about to be run over. Love the perspective of this shot.
Posted by Phil at July 27, 2006 05:55 AMgreat evening capture, lighting is always diffitcult, but this is very good.
Posted by Chantal at July 27, 2006 07:37 AMHmm... it looks like you almost got hit taking this picture? That NYC traffic is crazy, hope you had a fun time though.
Posted by Autumn at July 27, 2006 09:55 AMI love your site (and have for a couple of years now) -- your photos are gorgeous. Thanks!
Posted by litwit at July 27, 2006 10:04 AMI can almost hear that taxi honking at you.
Posted by Rich at July 27, 2006 11:23 AMYes, great action photo!! this moving cab is too close ;)
I don't know why but i love yellow cabs, last year during my holidays in NY I realize that before press the shutter I always wait for the cabs to get into the frame.
Posted by Alberto at July 27, 2006 11:40 AMI love the shapes and the lines in this shot, I would have liked a little more focus though.. as I dont think this amount of blur does anything for the photo.
Posted by Craig at July 27, 2006 12:02 PMAwesome. your finest in a while. great exposure balance, depth.
Posted by Ry at July 27, 2006 12:30 PMIs it me or is there a bit of distortion, esp near the building tops?
This lens is messing with my mind.
Posted by Sean Galbraith at July 27, 2006 03:57 PMWhat clarity, I can even hear the cab's horn honking.
Posted by Kevin at July 27, 2006 04:12 PMi won't comment about the distortion (or were you trying to correct for it by using the right side of the centre building/left side of the right building and the rest of the image got bent?) as many already have. I guess i just did!
Good angle and good idea...just didn't nail it...
Posted by Crank at July 27, 2006 04:22 PMAmazing perspective, this is exactly how it would look if I were to draw a 3 point perspective sketch. Great exposure too.
Posted by Ayash at July 27, 2006 06:30 PMThis one popped up in my ddoi widget and I immediately thought, oh my he's done it again. Amazing shot.
Posted by Brad at July 27, 2006 07:11 PMman, i really wish you would stick to toronto. i mean, all these other photos are nice and interesting and so on, but they interfere with your grand project! it's quite a task... i have your site linked to my own, and i always hope people will check in and see some amazing angles on toronto ... but that's getting rarer and rarer! i feel like the journal is starting to lose its focus/character?
Posted by ccomadagain at July 27, 2006 07:21 PMWell done Sam, as always you are an inspiration.
What of this did you do in PS, I wonder?
Posted by Michael at July 27, 2006 08:09 PMLOL, are you doing an amateur ad campaign for DKNY? ;)
Posted by Peggy at July 27, 2006 10:45 PMcool pic!
Posted by mel at July 27, 2006 11:10 PM1/6 of a second handheld? Good job. I've been told that this 10-22 lens is easy to handhold for long shutter speeds.
Posted by jesse at July 27, 2006 11:12 PMsweet night shot!
Posted by Ash at July 28, 2006 12:19 AMa very steady image for being hand held especially with the taxi bearing down on you....excellente
Posted by nature boy at July 28, 2006 10:40 AMI'm sorry Sam,
but I can't enjoy your shots when you alter the perspective of the buildings, they look FAR too fake for my taste.
I usually am a fan of your post-processing, but I've found you've been going to far with it since you bought the 10-22mm. Yes, I have been following you for a long time now. :)
But please, these shots are too fake, and the distorted buildings are far too unnatural. Please take this as constructive criticism.

Posted by david at July 30, 2006 07:29 PMI like the distortion in the buildings. It reminds me of Batman. Or the Powerpuff Girls. Or something.
