Radio City Music Hall

previous / next

During the holidays I wanted to go into NY to see Rockefeller Center in all it's holiday splendor. I was also planning on going into Washington DC. Neither of those things happened, but this was a compromise. Yes that is Radio City Music Hall in Gingerbread and that is the White House next door.

This is from the annual Gingerbread House competition at Peddler's Village in Lahaska PA.

Camera Settings:
NIKON D700
Nikkor 50mm f1.4
1/125 second
F/2.8
ISO 1800
50 mm

Labels: Christmas, D700, Landmarks, miscellaneous, New York

That's beautiful and lovely also. I like how you've separated the two 'buildings' with the depth of field.

This gingerbread version may be better looking than the real thing. Nice compromise shot in any case.
A fun post!

Super! Love the dof. Perhaps Radio City should really be next to the White House.

That is an awesome image. Of course I'd have wanted to dig in, but still...

Peddler's Village seems like an awesome place to go to do some photography. I have it on my list of places to go. :)
