Approaching Grand Central Station in the Rain Rainy nights in cities pose a tough problem.  Really, in many ways, you have to fight against every natural human instinct to go out into the rain on purpose.  It's so easy just to want to stay inside, make a hot cocoa (or, a think Aztec Drinking Chocolate in my case), watch a movie, be all cozy, etc etc.  But the little photographer inside of you also knows how interesting things are out there!So, I tend to compromise, and force myself to go outside half the time and stay inside half the time.  This occasion in New York City was obviously one of the times I went out in the rain.You can see I am approaching Grand Central Station -- and that is the famous Chrysler Building in the background.  This was shot with the Nikon 14-24 Lens (See my Nikon 14-24 Review).  It's an expensive lens, so if you are looking for something cheaper that also takes great wide-angle shots, check out the Sigma 10-20mm (Review coming some day when I mysteriously get more time).- Trey RatcliffClick here to read the rest of this post at the Stuck in Customs blog.
