I have posted some of Lisa’s photos here from our New York trip. She really took some exceptional shots in my humble opinion, capturing the places we went to and the things we saw with great vision and enthusiasm.
Lisa took terrific pictures of everything, but her photos from the Bronx Zoo were particularly exceptional, especially of the lions and butterflies. But not to be limited to just animals, Lisa also took some truly terrific shots of the carnival that we happened upon on 5th Avenue. In my view, she captured the dancers in a most intimate flattering way, showing moments that draw the viewer into the movement and colour, rather than just spectating from afar. I hardly ever photograph people, so I learned a few things from her shots!
Lisa took just one skyline shot, but she got a good one!
Liberty Island
Ellis Island in front of the Manhattan skyline.
Time Square. Lisa didn't take as many shots of Time Square as myself, but she still captured its energy and vibrance.
Her favourite shot, of the male lion and one of his cubs.
Sea Anemone, New York Aquarium.
Sea Turtle, New York Aquarium.
Carnival on 5th Avenue.
I like the way Lisa has shot this, with the juxtaposition of the spring blossom in Central Park against the towering skyline of Manhattan.
This is a shot she suggested I take, but I couldn't quite get it right. So Lisa took my camera and shot it for me!
