Denton, thanks for mentioning what kind of camera you used and your post-processing info. There is much beauty in this scene.
Tiny ninjas at that.
Speaking of, Tiny Ninja Theater is great. Catch the next show whenever it happens in town.
re: wetsuits – i thought they were ninjas! heh.
Late to the party, but great shot, Denton!
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…
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?
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 also like the bare winter tree at the left, in contrast with the rest of the photo.
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?
