Here is a couple of pics from my 'training' session the last couple of weeks. From atop the Empire State building. From atop the Skylon Tower in Niagra Falls, Ontario From Ground Zero. and one for the Maj to lighten things up....
American Cities are dirty and polluted. Another myth busted. Most the time the pictures you see of air pollution are taken on very unusual days. Most the time, the air in America's major cities is clean.
The only annoying thing in the city are the cabs. The camera I have has an anti-haze setting. It's only sold in America. And Kentucky.
it has something to do with air pressure. can't remember off-hand and can't be assed looking it up... our local large town has the same smoggy dirty looking haze when looked at afar on certain days.. and i'm sure most large towns with a high volume of traffic do.
