My vision of N Y C

[Minerva]

Image #1 is sensational; setting sun at full glow, you have captured the true essence of that moment. Wonderful silhouettes. Well done Jean.

Manfred, correct me if I am wrong. I think that a 133 second exposure is less impacted by slight movement than a 10 second exposure might be...

Thank you Nandakumar for your comments:

Make #2 a vertical compo., by avoiding the balcony as well as two rows of windows; i am sure it will be a winner then

I'll let this picture like this, it's part of a square format series.

How you managed such low angle in the last image, i wonder

I lowered my camera at ground level

Jean, I am so pleased I didn't miss this set of images & I look forward to seeing the rest!
They are all so different & appealing for different reasons, the sunset image #1 & the Manhattan bridge would look tremendous printed on metallic paper.
I am about to head to New York for the first time ever in a few weeks time, I am very excited, your images are stunning.

Thank you Kay
I've been there for ten days with a photographers group, the best way to visit Big Apple.
I printed on canvas 1.20 x 0.80 cm both color ones; I'm very happy with the results.

All very nice Jean How did you shoot #5 from such a low angle , wasn't it a bit risky ? Also I can't notice any lens distortion. May I ask the focal length for that shot? Very nice B&W conversions. The last one shows that you have a great eye and you spent most of your time on streets to catch such moments

[GrahamS]

Bravo again!

[bje07]

Thank you Binnur

How did you shoot #5 from such a low angle , wasn't it a bit risky ?

I lowered my camera at ground level just above the water in the gutter.
Risky? not I'm crouched on the sidewalk
I took it at 24 mm 1/100s f/4.5 with my Nikon 24-120 mm on my D 800 E, the strap wrapped around my wrist.
AS already said, I came in NY with a group of photographers for 10 days, with a professional photographer as leader, 14 km walk/subway per day,my feet remember!!! even a trip in helicopter.

Also I can't notice any lens distortion.

the reward to use very good lenses

Bravo again!

Thank you (again) John

[Wavelength]

Excellent new additions

[bje07]

Thank you Nandakumar.

[LePetomane]

Thank you for the beautiful shots. Even more proof that NYC is a great place to visit but it is hard living there.

[bnnrcn]

Thanks for the info Jean . It must have been a great but tiring photography trip

Thank you Binnur

After a photographic journey I offer some of my best color photographs and mostly B & W which for me is the most beautiful.
I will put them from time to time.

# 1 Sunset on lower Manhattan

Hi again Jean,
Where are you when taking this image, as it's got to be out of Manhattan, to see Manhattan.
I wanted to go to Governor's Island to look back, but it closes the day before we arrive.
Thank you.

[bje07]

I took this picture at Dumbo, you should leave Manhattan by foot on Brooklyn bridge (not an obligation, but so nice as walk and scenes), at the end of the bridge you go down on the right. An tip: be there long time before sunset, as so many people go there, if you want to be at the first rank of tripods near the water
I took the subway until Brookling bridge City-hall .
To have another way to get all lower Manhattan Skyline is to take a return ticket to Staten Island, you will have twice the time to shoot lower Manhattan for few $

[wilgk]

Thank you Jean!
My humble efforts from the same area, may not be worth sharing, but a nice walk will be good nonetheless
I must remind myself to experience the place, not just taking pictures.

We look forward to more of your wonderful series.
