Nice shot denton. I love how it looks like there is a tiny person walking along the top of the bench.

Are the three people on the shore all wearing wetsuits? Or does it just look like it cause they are in silhouette?

"Hey kids! Who wants to go down to Brooklyn Bridge Park and go for a swim in the river?"

Snark, perhaps only you could have noticed that. You alluded to the Soup the other day. Between that and your comment below, I couldn't help but think of Little Gay.

They're all dressed in black, since it's Dumbo, ya heard? They gotta look like they just moved from SoHo!

But as someone who grew up when the Hudson was milky color, and you could see dead sheep and cows floating down, a river devoid of life, and something you warned your kids to stay away from, it's pretty cool to see that parents can frolic near the water with their kids, and maybe let them in it one day.

i think it may be time for a martini. the background looks like charlton heston's alternate final scene in 'planet of the apes'.

I think that is an equity gnome. South Park did an expose on them and underpants gnomes.

Yes, this is a beautiful photo. It is the right lighting, and the right shutter speed (example, the water; and the clouds). It is evocative and makes us wish we were there right now. Did you use a lens filter when taking this?

I also like the bare winter tree at the left, in contrast with the rest of the photo.

No filter, this was taken with a Canon G9, a sophisticated p&s, and captured in RAW. However there was more post-processing than I usually like to do, being an old slide film guy. The clouds around the Verizon building were sorta burned out in the original capture, I brought them back in Lightroom. Few other lil' tweaks as well. But the lighting was certainly gorgeous that day.

I immediately thought of the old "I crush your head! Crush, crush, crush" skit when I saw the, as Snark referred to it, tiny person walking along the top of the bench.

Love this photo.

And Rob, how could anyone love the Verizon building? Or more specifically the giant ad in our faces on the Manhattan view/landscape?

Posted by: Nokilissa at February 24, 2009 9:23 PM

Nice pic, Denton. The way you manipulated the clouds, the Verizon monstrosity actually blends in and doesn't really stand out like a sore thumb! Almost...

Late to the party, but great shot, Denton!

re: wetsuits - i thought they were ninjas! heh.

Posted by: janelle at February 25, 2009 10:21 AM

Tiny ninjas at that.

Speaking of, Tiny Ninja Theater is great. Catch the next show whenever it happens in town.

Denton, thanks for mentioning what kind of camera you used and your post-processing info. There is much beauty in this scene.
