shooting through glass or a open window or outdoor deck? Looks like you shot this down by the building close to the four seasons in battery park city.

Hey, open window; no roof deck in this building and roof access has been restricted since last year. This stinks since this was the south view from the roof:

Sadly this was shot when I first started digital photography and was one of only two times I had ever been up there.

Yeah that looks like a great view in battery park city, the roof deck at the four seasons has a stellar south view at sunset. Went there for a early dinner for valentines day one year.

Ah, yeah I love across the West Side Highway from the Four Seasons. I wonder if I can get unto the roof deck without having to dine there.

No, New Yorkers really don't care what other have. Only city really that we don't even care who it is. Seen Madonna walking around town not impress.

^^ If you're talking about the telescope, I thought they were for people watching at night.

nope, only tv does that, we are to business relaxing after a long day at work. Not worth spending time watching people for afar. Much simpler to just go to a park and people watch.

So I hear you should not live in a lower floor apartment with a porch which hangs out farther than upstairs.......

Seriously, someday, I want to give city life a try.

Where the OP lives, which is kinda close to me, the park there is a great people watch spot, you have people getting off work working their way to the water taxies to NJ. And they early or early evening you have the jogger and biker working out on the bike path. And on the weekend is a good place to hang out and watch new yorkers playing. Much better to people watch at ground level.

Yes, I normally try not to spot others in windows from my apt or when I'm taking shots..though it has happened once (posted a few months ago but may be worthwhile):

Other than that shot, I've never really noticed any other persons in my photos.
