Robert, the iPhone 6s Plus and me

No visit to New York City would be complete for me without a visit to the Museum of Art and Design on Columbus Circle.  Not only do we see new and exciting exhibits each time, but lunch at Robert, on the 9th floor is always a treat, gastronomically and visually.

The view of Columbus Circle and Central Park is breathtaking and this time I tried to capture it with the iPhone 6s Plus and the olloclip supplementary fisheye and wide angle lenses.

But  first, let’s eat. Cocktails of course, my habitual Manhattan and this time Linda picked Autumn Spice (tasted good but I do not now what was in it).   Linda had salmon and I had a shrimp stew.  Then cheesecake (after all we are in New York) for desert.

Shrimp

 Salmon


 Cheese


To set the scene I used the panoramic option on the iPhone to capture the entire restaurant (well almost, there are more tables around the corner).


But the visual main event is Columbus Circle.   I will let the photographs speak for themselves.
The fisheye produced some interesting effects and the wide angle worked on the verticals capturing the tall building that dominates the Circle.
