This is where all the #7 trains rest after a long and busy day running from Flushing Queens to Manhattan Times Square.

The architecture in the background is a tennis center where every year all of the most famous tennis players around the world play for the US OPEN.

The METS stadium (CITY FIELD) is also near by here, withing walking distance.

# 7 Train approaching the station (74th, Broadway & Roosevelt)

It is hard for me as a photographer not to carry a camera around everywhere I go. This is why I had to get myself a smaller camera (Nikon P7000) that allows me to react quickly to a photographic opportunity.

I Used to carry one of my DSLRs to my office everyday, but it is kind of inconvenience to move around in city during rush hour with such big camera (if you live in NYC you probably know what I mean). In addition, a DSLR camera is much difficult to operate quickly, and to take a picture of a fast moving subject, like this train approaching the station. Although I could anticipate the arrival of the train, I was not able to anticipate such nice composition until the train was this close from the station. But luckily for me, I was carrying my portable Nikon P7000, which allowed me to react quickly to such great scenery.

It is said that there are two Chinatowns in NYC; one in Flushing Queens, and the other one in Manhattan. The one in Flushing is where the majority of the Asian population live, and they own most of the business there as well.

But, the original Chinatown in lower Manhattan is where most of Asian goods are sold, and their business go even further: in there you will find everything from a traditional Asian dish to the most famous branded article, specially watches and women handbags like Omega, Rolex, LAUREN, Cole, Lacoste, ALDO, etc. But of course, they are all counterfeited (or at least that's what I been hearing people saying since I moved to NYC a couple of years ago.)


How to get to Chinatown:

Almost every train will take you there. Simply take any Brooklyn bound train that stops at Canal St. station. Very simple! right?

I just got this new Nikon P7000, and I'm very exited I did. To me, it is like DSRL mounted on a point-and-shoot body. It has manual settings (I can control the Aperture, Shutter Speed, ISO, etc.) It also has continuous shooting, as well as Bracketing, and manual focus as well; Oh, and not mention, It also shoots in RAW!

Update:
I just did a Firmware upgrade to correct focusing problem and slow RAW processing. It works the way it should be now, perfect!

Walking on a raining evening on 59th St. and Lexington Ave.
I had this idea since a long time, but I never had the time to go out there on a raining day. I used my Nikon D90 and a Nikon 50mm f/1.4 lens to take this shot.
