Thanks this was fun to do, I had hoped to get to a couple of more today but it was such a dull day it wasnt worth it, I did go walking to try the point you viewed the Long Island Sign across the East River, I didnt find the spot, but I know where it isnt and think I know where it is for my next walk maybe of Friday.
When I got back into photography a few years back my first camera was a fuji bridge camera :)
Mine was a bridge too. It was only 3 megapixels but the sensor was so big it blew away 6 and 8 megapixel point and shoot units.
Mine was the Fujifilm FinePix S6000fd 6.3 MP which seemed a lot at the time lOL
