Postcards from New York #2 - a photo on Flickriver

Sunset on Manhattan skyline from Pier 1.This is my second images of the series "Postcards from New York". Since New York is a city that moves fast, most of the images of this series were taken with slow shutter speed for two reasons. First, give the sense of movement. Second, I have used a slow shutter speed to contrast the idea that everything has to move fast but even in New York you can stop and take your time to enjoy the world.

Manhattan Skyline from Pier 1 is one of the iconic locations for taking “postcards picture” of New York. This image was taken at the sunset. We arrived there early to be sure of finding a good spot, since this is a very popular spot among photographers. We elected to stay on the rocks facing the skyline. The image was taken with a ND 10 stop filter. The idea was to wait for the blue hour and while I got a couple of very satisfactory image at that time, my favorite image of that evening is this one because the reflection of the light in the water and the double “sunburst” created by the reflection of the sun on the skyscraper. I usually try to get my images consistently with 3:2 proportion (with exception of landscape that are 16:9), but for this one from this location I think that the 16:9 crop is the best option because otherwise I would have too much the sky or too much of the water.
