One of the first photos taken my with my Canon 24-105mm 4L IS USM. It's a great lens and easily over looked for it's speed. I know many photographers rather go for the Canon 24-70mm 2.8L USM. I choose the 24-105mm because it has been updated with newer lens technology. The 24-70mm 2.8L, although a faster lens with a more shallow depth of field (a.k.a. DOF); it does not have Canon's Image Stabilization technology. The 24-70mm is due for an update. Rather than chase technology, I choose the lens which will offer me a better resale value, if in the event the 24-70mm 2.8 IS USM is developed and becomes available. If/when that updated lens becomes available, I'll sell the 24-105mm 4L IS USM and pick up the newer better 24-70mm IS USM lens.

Now back to the photo. :)

This photo was extremely sharp and very well exposed. However I wanted to capture an "Old Timer" feel to complement the interior architecture. This is the main hall of the Main New York City Post Office. This iconic building may change soon as it is slated to become the new Penn Station. Who knows what will happen to this beautiful building. How much will the exterior change? I am very sure the interior will. If you've not had a change to visit this often passed by building, please treat yourself to how architecture in NYC was a century ago, next year (100 years old in 2012). By the way, it's open 24 hours a day!
