Default Can you find the Empire State Building?

I was standing on top of the Empire State Building, and still succeeded to take a picture of the entire thing.






Well at least of its shadow

Nice,.. it casts a looooong shadow!

Any shot with the Chrysler building in it is worth a look

Oh, sorry. If you are into photography and knew you were that close you would definitely have wanted to stop in there. B&H is probably one of the top three camera retailers in the U.S.

Actually, it's not in the picture. You pictures are facing northeast, but B&H is 5 blocks west of the Empire State Building. I'd probably visit B&H before the Empire State Building, but only because I grew up in New York City.

Nice photos, btw, thanks for sharing. I actually like #2 a little better than the first one.

No, look closely at the shadows and you can see people waving.

Cool Re: Can you find the Empire State Building?

I love the shots.
I have a picture taken up there right where you stood
there were repair men hanging out of the railings (on the right side)and I got a shot of them
