Hello again. Everyone who knows about Boston has seen or heard of the Hancock Tower. It has gone by different local nicknames, including "King Kong's Mirror". I find the reflections off this work of modern architecture to be more interesting than the building itself. These pictures are part of a new gallery added to my site.

These pictures were shot with a Nikon D80 with an 18-200 Nikkor DX AF/VR lens in the late afternoon. ISO-100 was used throughout. The VR allowed sharp hand-held shots in all cases. I only need a tripod when requiring exposures longer than 1/8 or 1/15 sec. Despite its minor focus, bokeh, pincushion, and LCA flaws, it is very versatile, and even does macro. It's a great lens for its price.

I hope you enjoyed them. Thanks for looking. And if you're interested in the new gallery these pictures can be found in, it's at:

My favorite is the photo number 2, Lynne. I visited your gallery. I like mainly photos of balloons and Boston.
Good job.
