• Looking straight down 42nd Street to the Hudson River

Midtown Cloud

Newer Older

Whenever I'm flying home into LaGuardia Airport, I request a window seat and willfully disobey the flight crew by keeping my point-and-shoot turned on. On this particular September afternoon, there was high cloud cover with one rogue cloud hovering ominously above Midtown Manhattan. I timed this exposure so that you can see straight down 42nd Street, all the way to the Hudson River. Greenpoint, Brooklyn and Long Island City, Queens are visible in the foreground, separated by Newtown Creek.

Other than adjusting some levels and adding a bit of a vignette, I didn't manipulate or 'shop the original capture.
