Thank you Gareth! NYC is such a wonderful place for photography, I hope to be able to visit the city again sometime soon.

I visited New York City for the very first time some weeks ago. In fact this was my first ever travel to the USA. I brought an iPhone and a Pentax KX film camera, planning to shoot mostly black and white film and infinite numbers of iPhone photos. Since I live in a mostly rural environment here in Norway, I was planning to try my luck with street photography and large city architecture, two areas within photography I have zero experience. The two first are lab scans, there others are scanned on a Minolta Image Scan Elite 5400.

That sounds like a good idea! Where does one purchase self indicating silica gel?

Thank you for providing a scientific explanation of the merits of silica gel! Now I am 100% convinced that silica gel will not have any negative impact on lenses in storage

Fantastic shots. I always struggle to find the right viewpoints when surrounded by typical 'big city' architecture, you have managed to find some excellent viewpoints.
For my brief New York visit I brought my iPhone 8 Plus and the Pentax KX with only one (40mm) lens. Probably a bit too “hard core” minimalist kit. In retrospect I should also probably have packed my K-5 and DA 12-24, there were countless skyscraper shots that I never could grab because of lacking wide angle options. But, like you point out, the search for good viewpoints in such city environments is really alpha omega in order to achieve good shots, regardless of what camera kit one carries.
