I had wanted to capture a shot of this section of the Hudson and just couldn't make it interesting. Then, one cold day I used the pedestrian walkway on the Henry Hudson Parkway Bridge and saw this. The schooner was almost stationary due to the high tide coming in, so I could find the best observation area and I had my old Nikon S3500 with me so I could frame & shoot through the tight security fencing.

Behind The Lens

Location

The Henry Hudson Parkway Bridge.

Time

A little after 2:00 pm.

Lighting

Natural light.

Equipment

The bridge had very small and tight security fencing. Fortunately, I had my old Nikon S3500 and I could frame and then zoom enough to get rid of the fencing for the shot.

Inspiration

I had wanted to get a shot of this section of the Palisades but had never gotten something that I was happy with. One look said, "this is it".

Editing

Yes. Lightroom adjustments.

In my camera bag

Nikon D3200.

Feedback

Bring a small, all in one.
