We went up to the top of the Rockefeller Center in NYC and had a great time with our kids up there – the light was not terrific but still… When we got down again, we somehow got lost and ended up in a lobby which was totally deserted and all the doors – except for one tiny side-door – were locked. 3 bracketed exposures – handhold, of course.

Mystic Seaport is a great and fun place to visit with your family. It has tons of photo ops and when I was there in June 2 years ago it wasn’t even that crowded. Make sure to bring your widest lens with you and as always, get low and close. Exif Info:
This is one of my favorite roller coaster rides in the World and one of the first “real” roller coaster my oldest son rode back in 2009 when he was just 8 years old. He barely passed the minimum height restrictions – they actually measured him 3 times to make sure. I think he didn’t realize what he was up to until we reached the top. That’s when he started screaming at me and continued to do so even during the big drop…. I’m a bad parent, I know “El Toro, meaning The Bull in Spanish, is a wooden roller coaster at Six Flags Great Adventure. It opened to the public on June 11, 2006. It was designed by Intamin of Switzerland. It had the steepest drop of any wooden roller coaster in the world, at 76 degrees, until this record was broken by T Express in 2008 by 1 degree. It is the third tallest (188 ft; 57 m) and third fastest (70 mph; 113 km/h) wooden roller coaster in the world. It is also the first wooden roller coaster to use a cable lift hill instead of the traditional chain lift. Because of the extreme negative g-forces (airtime) on the ride, the lap-bar restraints are very tight, causing some problems for older and larger riders.” Source: Wikipedia I think I’ve mentioned that before, if you shoot wide, go low. I shot this without a tripod, btw. I put the camera onto the camera bag which was on the road and hoped for no cars for 15 seconds – I survived it. Exif Info:
