Location
Been on a two weeks New York trip with my wife, and we decided to get to the top of the Empire State building. And it was totally worth it.Time
We wanted to get the most out of this visit, so we decided to get there before the Sun sets. We spent at least 2 hours there, taking in the breathtaking view of the city, the sunset and the millions of lights that give this city a very special flare.Lighting
This shot was taken directly after the sun dove behind the horizon, therefore it created this lovely glow. Simultaneously, the city lights were turned on, creating a nice contrast to the sky.Equipment
This shot was taken with my Canon PowerShot G5 X travel camera. Aperture f/1.8?ISO 125?Shutter 1/15 Loved this cam.Inspiration
The beautiful sunset, the stunning lights and the mesmerizing view over Hudson River.Editing
Yes, a bit of processing was necessary. I decreased the light over the horizon and increased the whites and highlights on the city to make the lights pop.In my camera bag
Currently, I am always carrying my Sony Alpha 7 MKII with a 24-240mm f/3.5 lens and a 14mm f/2.8 wide angle. Furthermore, I have my DJI Mavic 2 Pro drone in my bag, because you never know :)Feedback
Don't forget to live the moment and don't just stare at the display. Take the shot and enjoy.
