Belvedere Castle, Central Park, NYC

Posted on August 2, 2011

5DMKII + 16-35mm, f/11, ISO 100. (5 Photos combined in Photomatix).

Belvedere Castle and it’s surrounding turtle pond is a very surreal and painterly looking scene nestled in Central Park. A lovely little spot to get away from the city noise.

I’ve been spending a lot of time on Google+ lately posting photos and discussing photography. There are a slew of awesome photogs on there, so it’s definitely worth joining if you want inspiration. Come join the fun!

    Hi Lisa,

    This looks gorgeous. So surreal. I think Trey has been rubbing off on you, LOL.

    Very nice shot. The castle is really a great find in Central Park.

    I just discovered HDR and found you from the Trey Ratcliff hangout. Nice to see someone in NYC doing HDR street views. In the hangout you mentioned Trey’s cherry blossom shot and you have to go to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden when they bloom.
