I thought I had enough clearance for my head not to be in the top of this shot, but apparently that wide angle has some serious reach. This was from the same night as the previous Tribute in Light pics. I actually walked from 48th street to Battery Park - on a weekday none the less. To give you an idea of what kind of distance that is, check out this Google map.
4.2 miles!

micki homeschooling mom in Virginia 9/15/06Love the colors…the clarity that you achieve even with the height is impressive.

Jimmie cornershots guy in nyc 9/17/06really, you must put up a tutorial site or something.. your shots are amazing.
MD monky enthusiats in NYC,NJ 9/17/06love the building on the right. it has great character. You also have to love the orangish/red skies that modern day cities now have clouded over them. Be interested to see photos of cityscapes from 10+ years (?) ago, before the introduction of the orange/red(?) colored street lights that have invaded us.
