  • Chrysler. Known for its beautiful top.
  • Citibank Corp. Note its green top
  • Fifth Avenue. Mecca of the finest shops
  • George Washington Bridge - beautifully lit.

NYC Skyline

A panaroma composed of two images of midtown and upper Manhattan, taken from the Empire State at about 6:30pm. The main road that you see is the fifth avenue. The brite building straight ahead is the Rockefeller Center.

The two images that it is composed of are probably the best photos that I have taken so far. Lacking a tripod, it was quite a challenge to take these 4 second exposure images.

Manhattan, New York City, USA

    Thanks.
    Thats what the railings there were for. Without them, I would have never got a good shot - my camera shakes a lot.

    CORRECTION: The bridge noted in the picture is not the Bronx-Whitestone Bridge, which spans the East River, but it is the George Washington Bridge which spans the Hudson River.

    Awesome shot! I added a Note to the Worldwide Building. I was a Glazier and installed the Glass and Metal to build the Pyramid on top of the Building in 1989. I remember installing the little piece of Sheet Metal at very top!! I am going to try to look at other Buildings I worked on.

    This is a photo (not the best) but a P & S photo of the Building.

    Building I worked on during Constrution
