I got tired of taking car photos. I used a 17-40 for the shot above.

[Matt Peters]

No HDR. The photo is from a single exposure.

Let me know if you want a higher res.

[SuzyView]

PM me a higher resolution as an attachment or link. I think I can get it. And it is amazing.

I took a lot of pictures with my old Rebel G of the island. I grew up in NYC, in Brooklyn, Avenue J, to be exact. But I was a temp and worked in several great places in Manhattan. When my husband finished law school, we moved to NJ and he worked at Two World Trade. I miss that view of downtown very much. When I go there, I get this really sad feeling, something wonderful was lost. As beautiful as the view is today, I still have an image in my mind of the way things used to be. Your shot is really terrific.

[JonMoss]

Superb - love it!

[sm1rf]

Those folks sure stood still for you or did you use rear curtain sync? Great series!!

[wedge421]

Georgeous shot. Looks like something out of a comic book!

[jdizzle]

where exactly was that?
That's in Frank Sinatra Park in Hoboken, N.J. It's a great spot for taking pics of the NYC skyline.

[LeesaB]

Awesome shots.

[iLuveKetchup]

Thanks for the kind words everyone!!

No curtain sync. I guess they stood there long enough.

Here are 3 more rain photos from today.

omg THIS is utterly gorgeous shot, and love your perspective of taking an otherwise typical 'kodak pic' and really utilizing the nighttime darkness to add beautiful depth!

excellent job! :D

[kokicubano]

Beautiful shots taken from Sinatra Park I must say. The city after a rain storm is always a sight.

This is great, almost has a sinking ship feel to it!

[spencer87]

beautiful shot, sky over the city looks incredible

[Mike4BekA]

I would say that is one of the better NY pictures I have seen

[rockwithme192]

Peaceful. Dark. Yet Inviting. I like it a lot!
New York City always seems so perfect in photography, I really want to go some day...

[iLuveKetchup]

Thanks again guys!

[NeutronBoy]

If it weren't for that modern building in the lower left, the shot would look like it was taken in the 1930s. Very nice.

[99allturbo]

I'll be staying in North Bergen and look fwd to going to this park to take pics. I was also going to take pics at the pier across from Houlihan's and also from Blvd E.

Very nice pics.

[JCH77Yanks]

You definitely have the "Magic Eye"... I particularly like how you see the photographic value in things like the abandoned pier. There are tons of abandoned and run-down places and things around the five boroughs that are set against a backdrop of the hustle and bustle of everything else. They almost always catch my eye, and if you can compose it a certain way, it has great storytelling value. Great shots!

[whereismykit]

Nice shot. Love it
