Preparing for the trip to the Big Apple a week from Sunday, I was looking at some old photographs from my last visits in 2010 and 2012.
Just to play around, I was looking for some images with high contrasts, that I could convert to monochrome. All of those places (Statue of Liberty, 9/11 Memorial / Top of the Rocks) are on our to-do list for our upcoming trip. The Significant Other even secured tickets to visit Lady Liberty’s Crown. Can’t wait!
All photographs were taken with the Olympus OM-D E-M5 and the mZuiko 14-150 F4-5.6 Travel Zoom. RAW and monochrome conversion in Lightroom CC Classic.
Have a peaceful Good Friday

Great photos! Really like that last one
Looooove the last photograph! Amazing!
Thanks, Carmen, love you comment! “Top of the Rocks” is special to me, I never fail to go on top of Rockefeller Center when I’m in NYC. Marcus
As always, live your vision and what you capture. Hugs
Thanks, it means so much. I’m at Frankfurt Airport waiting to board the plane for the trip to the Big Apple. Even if it is only for a week. Like is good!
I’m too late to say have a good flight, but I wish you many wonderful moments and special new memories. Gee imagine you are missing the Nürnberger Volksfest 😉 hugs
Thanks so much, your wished meant so much! Sorry for replying so late, put the time was just too precious to spend in front of the computer…and now my real life job is killing me…life…I’m not too much of a Volkfest guy…too many people. I much prefer a nice hike on a Sunday and then a visit to a Bierkeller 🙂
Totally fine and I didn’t expect you to answer. I’m glad your time was precious and I’m happy for the memories you were able to make.
The Volksfest comment was more of a joke, and like you I felt that the two (Volksfest or a NY vacation with your better half) couldn’t even come close to compare. Like you I don’t like crowds and much rather prefer peace and quiet. 😉
Great photos Marcus! I’m sure you and your wife must be getting excited about your getaway! Safe travels! 🙂
Thanks, boarding in about 60 minutes 🙂
Beautiful images

Thanks so much, Douglas, for the reblog! Happy Easter! Marcus
Thanks Marcus, blessings to you and your family!
BW photography is my favorite!
Thanks, glad you like my monochrome photos! Marcus
Great shots Marcus. We also got tickets for Lady Liberty’s Crown – so glad you can experience it as well!
Thanks, Marion, much appreciated! We’ve been to her crown in the late 80’s, and look forward to renew that experience! Happy Easter! Marcus
I love these!!
Thanks, Kieran, much appreciated! Marcus
High contrast stuff is always my favorite, and the black and white makes them all look gorgeous.
Very beautiful photos you took 😍
Thanks, your kind words are highly appreciated! Marcus
I really enjoy looking at your photos. The Statue of Liberty looks especially good. The clothing looks almost real and whispy like silk. What a neat way to capture this most photographed monument!! Three cheers to your creative eye!
Thanks, I really appreciate your kind feedback! Happy Easter! Marcus
Each one is stunning!! Have to ask – Twin Towers from 2012? Cant be the WTC. Great shot tho!
No, not the iconic Twin Towers that went down in the 9/11 tragedy. My heart hurts each time I see the NYC skyline without the original World Trade Center, to which I’ve been many times. Those twin towers are somewhere near the Chrysler Building, when I remember correctly, and are much smaller.
Have a wonderful holiday.
Thanks, Richard, also to you Happy Easter! Marcus
Awesome photos Marcus!
Thanks, Cassia, so much appreciated! Marcus
Photos looking great on monochrome.
