DUMBO
Finally get my self around to finish editing this shot. Between the initial shot and the final edit it took me around 5 months. I went to this location 6 times while trying to figure out what to do with it. Shooting at nigh wasn't an option cause there is just to many light sources all around coming from many directions. I wasn't fortunate enough to catch the rainy day also. Since there is so many cars parked in the street I had to do something different to be able to hide them and make everything seamless in the final edit. While shooting in the city, I like to do that with this long exposure technique and use the car trails as leading lines as much as the cover for the distracting area. What do you think?

I took this picture some time ago while I was walking across the Manhattan Bridge from Brooklyn to Manhattan. The pathway has a huge metal mesh grille which makes it impossible to shoot but the view of the Brooklyn Bridge with downtown as background is nothing but stunning at sunset. I took this shot through an opening where someone had cut the wire mesh and squeezed my camera through tiny space and took three shots which I later combine to capture the light. I would have preferred to use my ND grads but the opening was simply was not big enough.
When I initially combined to form the HDR I didn’t like the result as I thought the picture was too comical to be real. But I was playing with it last week and tried individually processing the three raw files and then combining them to an HDR image an the result was far more realistic and pleasing. Hope you all enjoy it..

Another capture from the Brooklyn bridge trip of the Manhattan Bridge. This was a tough shot as the rocks were being illuminated by tungsten light and the city mostly had fluorescent lights and the white balance was really tricky to get right. I think I got it good but if anyone knows a better way of processing this scene please do let me know!!
I think this particular spot on Manhattan Bridge should be called Artist's Point. Suspended 150 feet above ground, Manhattan Bridge's pedestrian...
This spot at the pillar on Brooklyn side is the definitely recommended to this photograph. There are two reasons. One that the vibrations are less...

The Manhattan Bridge is a suspension bridge that crosses the East River in New York City, connecting Lower Manhattan at Canal Street with Downtown Brooklyn at the Flatbush Avenue Extension. The main span is 1,470 ft (448 m) long, with the suspension cables being 3,224 ft (983 m) long. The bridge's total length is 6,855 ft (2,089 m). It is one of four toll-free vehicular bridges connecting Manhattan Island to Long Island; the nearby Brooklyn Bridge is just slightly further downtown, while the Queensboro and Williamsburg Bridges are to the north.

After being in hibernation for almost a month, I finally ventured out today to take some photographs. As always I went to Brooklyn Bridge Park...
