The gold statue on top of the Municipal Building in downtown Manhatann. I shot it hand-held using my new Lumix FZ35. It is a 12 megapixel model with an 18x optical zoom. I’m very happy with the camera so far. It also has the ability to shoot video in HD and has a good low light ability.
This is Addie on East Tenth Street adding the final bits to a project she started four years ago, after taking a mosaics class. The building near Avenue A belongs to her sons.
