Lower Manhattan at Night from the Manhattan Bridge, NYC

Newer Older

It seems the Brooklyn Bridge is my personal Mt. Fuji these days. A night walk across the Manhattan Bridge. I had to time the exposures between trains that would rumble by. I went with my 35mm prime lens on this one. I managed three faint star trails. Someday I'll try this on a Monday or Tuesday, when more of the office lights will be on. (Here's the view from the Brooklyn-side tower.)

Single exposure / 35mm (52mm=) / 40s / f/13 / ISO 200

    You should put all your work into a book if you haven't. I would buy it. :)

    Hi, i am an Art Director for `Howards and Caz`s Gallery` and would be very honoured if you would consider posting your stunning photo into the Gallery.
    This Gallery is so different than anything flickr has done before, as it is a tough Gallery to belong to, and now the bar has raised to Platinum level, and only the best will be accepted, and it is my opinion that this wonderful piece here belongs with us ……. I hope you will consider posting your beautiful photo in, as i feel it has the standard required to be a part of this Gallery......Kind regards..Caz (AD)
