Just back from two and a half weeks with the family holidaying in New York and Hawaii - figured I'd better post something from my travels

I'd seen a couple images of this location online with the Manhattan skyline at sunset with these fantastic poles out in the water providing this perfect foreground interest leading out to the city skyline. Ever since I knew I was heading to New York I knew I’d have to shoot here and capture it for myself - this one at 8:23PM (about 50 minutes after sunset)


NIKON D600 + 16.0-35.0 mm f/4.0 @ 20 mm, 170 sec at f/9, ISO 200 + Lee 0.6 GND + Heliopan CPL

Brilliant Rodney. I would hate to be choosing POTW next week. The standard of images submitted this past week has been world class and yours is no exception.

nice Rodney, how about a pano crop such that the row of poles in the left line up with the corner of the frame and clone out those ones at the bottom if the get in the way.

Could be done - tho I do like those two poles at the front (and composed specifically to include them). In hindsight I should have invested some time in doing a (couple) LE panos

Truly a beautiful picture.
