Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken from the port of New Jersey, the one place you can position the Statue of Liberty in front of Manhattan.

Time

This was a pre-dawn shot. The port was deserted and big scary but it was worth it.

Lighting

At this time of year, the sun rises behind the city from the vantage point. At this times of the year, this image might look quite different.

Equipment

Nikon D610, 70-200 f/2.8

Inspiration

I have lived in and around New York City for 26 years and I constantly try to capture it beauty.

Editing

I used Lightroom 5.0 and Photoshop cc

In my camera bag

I have my camera body and the holy trinity of Nikon lenses.

Feedback

I have shot NYC from almost every angle (New Jersey, Queens, Brooklyn and the Bronx. Keep trying and keep shooting at different times of day to see how the light effects the view.
