StefanA "The D is supposed to be where the S is!"  More info | Dec 06, 2006 17:33 | #1 Title says it all. I will be going up to New York City this Saturday and I would like to get a good shot of the skyline. I usually get into NYC throough the Lincoln Tunnel. Are there any good places around there to get a good shot? Maybe a public overlook or something? 80D, Canon 17-55mm f/2.8, Canon 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6, Canon 50mm f/1.4, Canon 70-200mm F/4L,Tokina 11-16 f/2.8, Canon 100-400 f/4.5-5.6, Kenko 1.4 TC, Canon 580 exII Speedlite, ebay wireless trigger, Genesis 3 light kit
