A view towards New Jersey from the junction of 45th Street and 8th Avenue taken from the 25th floor of the Milford Plaza hotel. I wanted to correct the vertical orientation of the shot, which was skewed due to steadying the camera on the windowsill, but the computer programme clipped the top of the tall building, so I decided to leave it as shot. (All the buildings are tall).

The friendly landlord of the Berliner Treffpunkt pub, just off Friedrichstrasse, takes 5 minutes to pull a pils. He won't be rushed and and the wait is worth it.

A beautifully restored Bucker Jungmann Bu 131B biplane from 1941 hanging vertically by it's nose from the roof of the Deutsches Technikmuseum in Berlin's Kreutzberg suburb. The shot was taken with my Lumicron 8Mp and was flipped 90 degrees on the computer. Great picture quality from a €100 "point and shoot" camera. Please see larger version.
