Travel alongside Nikon professional photographers Mark Alberhasky and Steve Simon and capture a whirlwind of dazzling activity and fast-paced movement in New York City. This sleepless city plays host to an unending array of sights and sounds that will wow your lens like no place else.

Kick off your trek on a mid-morning, private boat cruise through the New York harbor where stunning views of the grand buildings and bridges, so much of the city’s history and character, will unfold before you. As the sun goes down, walk across the East River on the Brooklyn Bridge’s elevated walkway. This significant landmark is one of the oldest suspension bridges in the country. Marvel at its majestic gothic style arches and spectacular views, but don’t forget to point your camera back for a breathtaking perspective of the Manhattan skyline, or point it down to capture boats on the East River. Practice panning with the cars that zoom by underfoot. As night falls, make your way over to Times Square and fill your lens with images which are quintessential New York: lightning fast cabs, the glow of neon lights and hordes of hurried passersby.Go on a walking tour of the historic Central Park, the most visited city park in the US. This landmark covers 843 acres and offers a green haven from the urban bustle for both tourists and locals alike. Turn your lens on Strawberry Fields (the John Lennon Imagine memorial), the Bethesda fountain, a turn-of-the-century carousel or the Wollman Skating Rink—all of which have been featured in many movies and television shows for decades. This park will provide no shortage of natural areas beautifully landscaped, modern sculptures, local artists and street musicians—clearly countless unmatched photo opportunities for you to explore.

You can be sure that around every corner of this urban landscape awaits another unique photo opportunity; so don’t miss your chance to capture it all.
