Hi All,
Well after almost two weeks worth of travel I am back with a Duploworld update.
Destinations set aside Copenhagen was a brief stop in London and a couple of days in New York.
Wonderful trip indeed and as usual I will skip the business part of it, too boring to spend any time on in here.
I started of in London, a very brief stop, I did however have a few ideas for some photos that I wanted to try out, so a quick ride in the underground was necessary. The photo ideas I had turned out very bad. but 3 decent photos ended up in the bag, and the photo below is something very closely related to london, at least for me:)
To more photos from London are in the "London 2007" gallery.
Now New York on the other hand was amazing, weather was a bit of a mixed bag though and I do mean mixed, anything from heavy rain to blazing sun. but New york is amazing in all kinds of weather, at least from a photography point of view:)
I started out picking up a highly unique Pentax designed lens, the Pentax SMC P-DA 10-17mm f3.5-4.5 ED (IF) Fisheye zoom (I wonder who came up with a name like that:D) for those into photography it has a 180-90 degree field of view, meaning that it resembles a reclinar 14mm lens at 17mm on APS-C sized cameras. For the rest of you, well it is a REALLY wide angle lens.
Tokina btw makes a rebadge in Nikon and canon mount. Go try it out and it will make any other wide angle seem kind of narrow in comparison:)
Central Park is one of my favourite places in NYC, I simply love this huge park, that I think is unrivaled when it comes to size and location. And it does make for some wonderful people shots too.

Reading in the park
Another wonderful place is the water front just off liberty street and I spend a wonderful hour there just around sunset, simply amazing...
Now that was kind of the photos I wanted to post right here, a total of 25 photos has been added to the "USA 2007" gallery, so go there if you want to see soe more photos from the trip.
Now I will try hitting my watchlist...being away for two weeks makes for a lot of reading up to do:)
Thanks for looking and do take care:)

I can perfectly understand why you associate London with the words "Mind the Gap". I do the same - when I think of that city, the voice of the female speaker saying these words whenever a tubetrain opens it´s doors is ringing for my ears.
