Comments: taxi turning

Is it me or the buildings look kinda skewed?

من عاشق شبهای شهرهای بزرگم ...و یکی از آرزوهام رفتن به نیویورکه که مطمئن نیستم بر آورده بشه . حال و هوایی داره...مرسی.

Wow, it looks like he is going to hit you.

Beautiful image.

Except the building in the background looks strange, doesn't look real almost.

It looks like you are about to be run over. Love the perspective of this shot.

great evening capture, lighting is always diffitcult, but this is very good.

Hmm... it looks like you almost got hit taking this picture? That NYC traffic is crazy, hope you had a fun time though.

I love your site (and have for a couple of years now) -- your photos are gorgeous. Thanks!

I can almost hear that taxi honking at you.

Posted by Rich at July 27, 2006 11:23 AM

Yes, 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.

I 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.

Awesome. your finest in a while. great exposure balance, depth.

Posted by Ry at July 27, 2006 12:30 PM

Is it me or is there a bit of distortion, esp near the building tops?

Posted by anthony at July 27, 2006 02:46 PM

This lens is messing with my mind.

Posted by Sean Galbraith at July 27, 2006 03:57 PM

What clarity, I can even hear the cab's horn honking.

Posted by Kevin at July 27, 2006 04:12 PM

i 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...

Amazing 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 PM

This 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 PM

man, 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?

Well 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 PM

LOL, are you doing an amateur ad campaign for DKNY? ;)

Posted by Peggy at July 27, 2006 10:45 PM

cool pic!

Posted by mel at July 27, 2006 11:10 PM

1/6 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 PM

sweet night shot!

Posted by Ash at July 28, 2006 12:19 AM

a 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 AM

I'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.

I like the distortion in the buildings. It reminds me of Batman. Or the Powerpuff Girls. Or something.

Lurve the headlights of the cars and the lamp posts across the street!
