Description
On Rockefeller Center, Facing Empire State Building, New York City...I couldn't actually recall the building I had captured here, so I had to look up NYC skyscrapers.
It took a good many tries to get the building in focus, but here it is. I captured it with a lensbaby, hence why the bokeh is heart-shaped.

Incredible photo! Now, you people below me, being suspended in air isn't so bad as long as you have a good safety harness and extra safety lines. Although this is TOO high, even for me

Very true indeed! It's quite a height to be at when overlooking the city at all.

I'm good on a scaffold up to about 15 stories, but then I get nervous. However, I am on a LOT of roofs- now I'm taking my camera

Ah, I see. That's fair enough!
Ooh, rooftops are awesome as well!

The heart-shaped bokeh is certainly interesting, and I like the blur and the feeling of 'stopped' movement (as a viewer I almost feel suspended in the air, looking at this).Β
New York City certainly seems like a bright place! It's weird to look at the photo data and realise that you captured this almost 2 years ago.

It would have been intense to have been literally suspended in the air!
Indeed so! The city that never sleeps and all.
Yeah, it was a while back for sure. I have many, many photographs that I captured ages and ages ago that I haven't uploaded.
Thank you so much for commenting!

Hahaha, intense might not be the word I'd use. Maybe 'scary'.
True!
You're welcome! Hope you're enjoying the Christmas break!

Scary would fit!
Indeed! I am working, so not much of a break for me. How was your Christmas?

Aww, I see (my sister is working for a few days tooΒ [in retail]Β - she said the sales were manic!). My Christmas was lovely, thanks - nice and quiet.

Oh right, I see! I imagine it was very chaotic indeed! Heck, the Americans have Black Friday and we have Boxing Day.
That sounds good! The best kind.

True! But I guess we had a little bit of Black Friday here too this year, didn't we?
Indeed.

Yes, we did! It's pretty insane, actually.

Lensbabies are fun, aren't they?
I love the effect in this oneΒ

They're pretty awesome, but only if you have the time for them! Or rather, I generally like to have a lot of time so that I can really get involved in the experimentation.
Thank you very much!

Oy, the is the red/green colour combination a Christmas special? Because it doesn't look particularly good on it.

I think so! I did shoot it around Christmas/New Years time.
I can see what you mean there.

Love is in the air!
Nice shot you got here

You know - if they re-made Lord of the Rings and placed it in modern day NYC, with a romantic comedy subplot, this would make for the perfect poster

It's quite interesting that you sense a kind of ominous feel.
Thank you for the comment!
Do what when you were there?

Thank you for the upload
I should have tried the zoom-shot sort of look you've got here - too late now
π: 0 β©: 1
Ah, I see.
Yeah, that would have been quite interesting. The darkness would have naturally slowed down the shutter speed to create that effect, in a way.
Personally, I just relied on the lensbaby, so no zooming for me.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah - you and that lensbaby. Didn't you have a tilt-shift one? No Rockefeller Center tilt-shift shots?
π: 0 β©: 1
I do have Rockefeller Centre fisheye shots.

When I get around to choosing one piece, yes.

One Piece
I thought you hated anime?
π: 0 β©: 1
I do! You dare bring it up! >:C
π: 0 β©: 1
You're the one that brought up One Piece, not me :C
π: 0 β©: 1
No one brought up One Piece but you.
π: 0 β©: 1
Pshhhhh you brought it up :C

Wow, I've seen that place...in movies, but awesome picture there, I like the effect!Β

Really like the effect... Kind of sensation of flying toward it!

Thank you very much! It is thanks to the lensbaby that it is that way.

Thank you! It is a feature of the lensbaby.

Eeee, I want a lensbaby too.
