Great shots! Thanks for sharing, Nexis4Jersey.

Congrats for your new camera, I see it works really fine. The night scenes are very well captured and they´re really sharp.

Enjoyed this varied thread, above all the pics of the Big Apple.

Congrats and greetings from Madrid, Spain.

Crawford · #3 Posted **Jan 20, 2014, 6:01 PM**

Wow, they built the Long Beach boardwalk pretty quickly. I need to see Long Beach when it gets a little warmer.

Kingofthehill · #4 Posted **Jan 20, 2014, 6:52 PM**

The Ironbound definitely looks better than the view of Newark I saw from the NJT train two weeks ago!

kool maudit · #5 Posted **Jan 21, 2014, 9:03 AM**

the state line really makes it easy to overlook the essential "new york-ness" of newark, elizabeth, hoboken, union city etc.

Ex-Ithacan · #6 Posted **Jan 21, 2014, 12:50 PM**

Wonderful set of pics, so many great shots. #1 & #56 = Winners.

Your photos are really getting better, and it's not just the new camera.

Thanks for the tour Nex.

It was finished back in October

You probably saw the stalled abandoned lots in the Southern part along with the illegally constructed housing. The Lots in Question are set aside for a community center and school. The Illegal housing will be torn down and rebuilt more densely to fit with the neighborhood.

True , up intill a few years ago developers overlooked Newark. But now they are slobbering over it , and can't seem to buy up enough land to develop on. Its like the early 2000s in Jersey City.

Would it suprise you that I didn't use a tripod for those night shots?

fleonzo · #8 Posted **Apr 9, 2014, 2:36 AM**

WOW....Sorry I missed these! Great pics

Surrealplaces · #9 Posted **Apr 9, 2014, 6:34 PM**

Excellent photo tour!

cabasse · #10 Posted **Apr 9, 2014, 8:45 PM**

are most/all of those night shots hand held? i bought a d5100 a few years ago and then within the year or so the 5200 had come out... (i snooped on your exif tag at flickr)

nice shots.

edit: nevermind my question, i just saw your response to someone else. impressive!

mrnyc · #11 Posted **Apr 9, 2014, 10:19 PM**

great job -- its really nice to see long beach boardwalk back in shape again, a nice surprize.

It has its limits but in decent light settings you can get away without using a tripod or timer. Its unlikely that when I buy my new tripod , that i'll use in NYC for twlight or night shots. Its a pain to set up and often theres to much foot traffic. But not on the Jersey Side...
