Medieval Times never gets old

Ah, how we love this place!  They let you take photos to your heart's content, so what's not to love?

Eric and I went back for our 4th time last weekend, to a whole new show and a different perspective.  Instead of being on the side of the arena, we sat up by the King and Queen.  This gave us an unobstructed view of the fight and jousting scenes.  From the side seats, there is a safety mesh wall between the audience and the performers. (Click on any photo to enlarge).
All shot with Nikon 300s and 70-200mm VRII 2.8 lens, most at ISO 3200 @ 1/250s.

Largest IntenSati workout in NYC at Intrepid Museum

Yesterday, the flight deck of Intrepid was infused with the positive energy of over 150 participants in the largest IntenSati workout in NYC.  Founded by Patricia Moreno in 2003 to benefit school children, it has become the "go to" work out at Equinox Fitness Centers in the City.  Click here to learn more.
The workout marked continuing tributes as Intrepid honors women in the month of March.  Here are some of my photos (click on any photo to enlarge):

BrainStorm Tutoring Center in Franklin Lakes

A wonderful local tutoring center with a decidedly "homey" feel.  Photo shoot from two weeks ago for Franklin Lakes Patch.com, published today.  Any slight distortions of interior photos were tweaked in LightRoom, a great tool.

Artsy experimental photos

Sometimes its fun to just see what will happen .. A couple of shots taken for a recent PPSOP.com class.

Dropping an orange slice into a vase of water and using flash to freeze the action.
Tracking the trail of light coming from an electric yo-yo using rear curtain sync.
 Exercises courtesy of PPSOP.com .. a great online learning resource for slow times and when you need some inspiration.  Five stars, highly recommended.

Space Shuttle Enterprise at National Air & Space Museum

This weekend, my husband Eric, Curator of Aviation and Aircraft Maintenance for Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum, and I, traveled to Chantilly, Virginia to photograph and take measurements of the Space Shuttle Enterprise which will soon be coming to the Intrepid.

What an awesome aircraft this is, regal, sleek and beautiful.  Here are a few of the photos I took of her on Monday morning which will be used by the teams who are preparing for her arrival. (Click on any photo to enlarge).
The view as you approach the Shuttle, in the early morning light before visitors arrive.

The view exiting the museum.
We left at just the right moment to catch sunlight at the tip of this graceful sculpture.
