    Loved the second urban shot because of the different types of buildings, the color, clarity, and it feels like you are looking at the whole city.

    The bridge is fantastic and I like urban four the best. The light is marvelous in that one. Don't let those big city scary people get you code baby.

    I think I got lucky on that one, to be honest. You can see some shake in the one shot at 1/60...

    As for where exactly this is in New York...I'm sure you recognize the Empire State building (on the left in the first one; main subject of second one). ESB is located on 5th avenue between 33rd and 34th streets (exact address is 350 5th Avenue). In #3 we are looking mainly at The New Yorker Hotel, located at 481 8th Avenue at 34th street. In #4: on the left is The New York Life Building (51 Madison Avenue, between 26th and 27th streets), and on the right is the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Tower (1 Madison Avenue, between 23rd and 24th streets). HTH ;)
