Do you want to take a walk down a favourite route in New York City? This Google Maps mashup lets you take a walking tour with photos of the street-life and information on the buildings and establishments you pass.
Virtual NYC has about 12 different routes ranging from Wall Street to Columbus Circle and Central Park.
We bought our first mid-range digital camera a year ago and I’ve never been really happy with the image quality and ability to control how the image is being captured. I came across Tips from the Top Floor, a podcast and website that covers a multitude of topics in digital photography. It has been helpful for me as I transition from my Cannon SLR.
The podcast covers basic and advanced topics, has short tutorials on using Photoshop features and has regular interviews with photography professionals. The sound-seeing tours are also quite interesting. The website has a very active forum, with lots of memembers willing to help out. The weekly assignment is a big favourite.
