Here are some iconic shots from a photo class in New York City. It was a wonderful, jam-packed few days filled with lessons, tips, and camaraderie with fellow photographers. Our instructor, Marie (@Capital Photography Center), guided us to the best locations and times for capturing all the famous shots of NYC, skillfully navigating the rain and sweltering summer heat. I love my photos and now have lasting memories. My favorite was the night shot of the city skyline from Brooklyn.
General Observations:

The bustling, energetic streets and charming brownstones
Weddings contrasted with Celebrations of Life at the Bethesda Fountain, Central Park
Indulging in delicious pizza, creamy ice cream, and rich cappuccinos from Blue Bottle
The chaotic yet mesmerizing atmosphere of Times Square
Feeling serene while perched at the water’s edge in Brooklyn, waiting for the magical blue hour photo of the NYC skyline
The many couples and lovers dotting the cityscape
Relaxing train rides from NYC and back to DC
