    Amazing images. I think my fav is the one where the weird shape building looks like a waterfall-4:10 into the vid. Very cool.

    The v-shape/triangle shot is spectacular. I'm fascinated by how unique each of these reflections stand out when zoomed in. Really enjoyed watching!

    The NYC High Line is one of my favorite walks for photography. The reflections in the windows are always changing and make for interesting abstracts. The time-lapse of the window reflection and cloud movement was quite novel and one I will be experimenting with. Enjoyed the video.

    You might enjoy photographing The Vessel next time-the reflections off it are fantastic especially when people are in them-it can look surreal. I liked all the photos, I’m here from Fototrippers channel. Subscribing.

    My favourite photo is the inversion that has the Triangle at the bottom. I like it because the Triangle appears encapsulated within the frame of the building. I've a street photography trip into London planned in the next few days. I will be looking for opportunities to use the Tele Lens instead of the 50mm. Thank you for posting.

    Your images are great, they remind me of my many walks in San Francisco shooting reflections of buildings like the Bank of America building. I was a student in the early 1970,s and could only afford B&W film, but my images are similar to what you created in NY. Great memories. Mike

    Also, telephoto for the win! Absolutely love my 100-400. And just recently upgraded to the RF100-500. You're videos are the reason I got more and more into telephoto! Picking out far away details, abstract images and even close up macro type shots. Opened up a whole new world for me.

    Franchement c’est très beau et la bonne maîtrise de votre appareil photo vous fait faire de bons clichés. Une question : les photos à 200mm de plans rapprochés de façade sont-elles recadrées en post-traitement. Merci et bonne continuation.
