The Gates in the Rain at Central Park, Valentine's Day

Hello All,

Today I took a lunchtime walk along the south end of Central Park to photograph The Gates in the rain.

I had 21 minutes to shoot these images in which I tried to capture the quiet and calm atmosphere of the display and the park due to the rain:

Nicholas,


Looks like you made great use of your 21 minutes!!
This one is my favorite
Could work well for the Predominant Color Challenge.

Look like they are not easy to shoot

I still haven't figured out how to post image links and I know this probably won't work because theres's no med, large, jpg, etc. but maybe you can figure out which photo it is. It's #14 of the first page.

I like it because it shows the city and the installation of the Gates, and I like the reflections in the water too. Thanks for sharing these.

Hello Dee & Nir and All,

Glad you liked my pics.

While shooting I bumped into an old man who claimed 'Oh, you got the Sony F-828, I have the Minolta'. It was raining. My camera was in and out of my plastic bag. His camera was getting wet and he had no plastic bag. I gave him an extra one I had. He thanked me and walked away.

It wasn't until I saw the image of the Horse & Rider on my monitor that I realized I photographed the old man taking a picture of the same statue with his Minolta.

Regards, Nicholas
