Just curious, is this a panorama stitched from many images or a crop of a single photo? The perspective, I think also provided by the grid on the pavement, is quite effective in rendering the incessant activity of this city, with its eternal flow of people and cars and lives...
You have captured the 'feel' of the city so well in this shot. I like way the bikes and cars on the left are heading into the picture while the cars on the right are heading out of it. It really does convey a strong sense of movement.
Massimo, if you knew the answer to that one, would the experience still be the same?
Gabriel, ther's my book - Streets of New York.
And also this is the most recent page on my site of images from NY: New York again
Nitsa, I would have enjoyed the photo exactly in the same way (enjoying is done with the "left" part of the brain).
I was just curious ("right side") because that point of view is extremely effective and I have tried to do something similar a few times, but it seems that I am never able to find a spot as good as you did in this case.
Now that I think of it, in fact, the answer is quite easy ("right part of the right side" of my brain): it should be a single photo otherwise the cars and the people would have moved between one shot and the other and you wouldn't have been able to stich them... oops.
But I should just feel the image and not think too much on the process leading to its creation, right? ;-)
Massimo, I do a lot of landscape stitching, and you CAN stitch out cars and people that cross the boundaries of your individual photos, if you're careful when taking the pictures and when stitching.
However, knowing Nitsa's philosophy about photography (or non), I would guess this was a single shot. It's pretty tough to stitch photos of such close objects with a handheld camera, and I'm sure she wouldn't use both a tripod AND a panoramic head. That would just be too wrong. :)
Hello nitsa, I have loved the picture, these very pretty one and that smile gives a special charm to your face.
As for the panoramic of the street, the truth doesn't have a lot of tact in the pictures, neither in you line them white or in the dynamic tact that has the image with the bikes and the cars. But I have loved your picture.
Since I am here I take advantage to send you a kiss and to wish you happy new year.

I don't think I even know what "a panoramic head" is :)
