In 2020, I often traveled (as safely as possible) to Liberty Park, Jersey City, Weehawken, Hoboken, and Brooklyn to take images of the NYC skyline - easily one of the top cities anywhere to make images of.
The first image on display is "Lower Manhattan, over the Brooklyn Pilons" shot from the Brooklyn Waterfront on 10/18/20 at 8:18 PM.
I decided on a 30 second image to smooth out the water to get the gentle reflections of these impressive buildings downtown. The pilons from the past create interesting leading lines; and this was shot at f/22 which created the starry light bursts while providing great depth of field.
This is available as a 32" x 18" HD Matte Metal for only $405.00.
This is available any size like 16" x 9" for $125.00
Or a 48" x 27" for $937.00
Or even a 60" x 33.75" for $1,426.00.
HD Matte Metal? These are Dye Sublimation prints - the highest quality available - heat transferred onto Chromaluxe Aluminum - the finest aluminum for photos. I get the matte finish to eliminate ALL reflections and reduce glare compared with any framed print with glass. There is no comparison. I can even get quality custom wood frames designed specifically for these metal images at a very reasonable cost. Everyone who has purchased one has been blown away, as have I. Nothing else compares.
This image is entitled "Two Suns?!?"
This is an Award Winning 32" x 18" HD Matte Metal Image for $405.00.
This image is a completely unique image not available anywhere else as no one else was on this pier that morning.
Obviously, we do not have two suns - and this is NOT a Photoshop trick, either!
My friend and and I set up on a residential pier in Jersey City to shoot the sun rising over lower Manhattan in December, 2020. As we waited for the sun to get above the buildings, it started reflecting off buildings in front of us in Manhattan and behind us in Jersey City. It was amazing to watch all around us as the reflections changed constantly. It was a wild, short lived, but very vivid experience.
Then this 'sun' appeared just to the left of One World Center, then faded back.
OK, what just happened?!
A few minutes later, it came up between several buildings to the south - but that's impossible for it to move that fast on the horizon without rising any higher.
What was happening? Then this second 'sun' faded back, too.
Then both suns came roaring out between these buildings - literally blowing us both away.
Truth be told: The Sun on the left is a very strong reflection off a highly reflective building sitting at a perfect angle on that one morning - and the one on the right is the actual Sun -
We do have only One Sun, obviously!
This lasted for less than a minute - and then it was gone. Once the sun rose above the buildings it was blinding bright and we were done shooting - at this location anyway.
This phenomenon happens maybe twice a year since the sun comes up at a different spot on the horizon every day and only this one building is reflective enough to create the illusion of a second sun; and be at just the correct angle maybe twice every year. This was absolutely incredible - and I was 'lucky' enough to just happen to be there on that morning at that angle.
On your wall this will certainly start some interesting conversations!
Two Suns - how is that even possible?!
Midtown Reflections
An Award Winning 60" x 16" Panorama
On HD Matte Metal with 122,500 Pixels per Square Inch
For $635.00
This panorama image was created by taking 6 images - each at 30 seconds long - and having Photoshop stitch them together in post processing. Taking individual 30 second images correctly so Photoshop could do this successfully is the key; and knowing my camera and Photoshop CAN do this well enabled me to complete my vision.
These reflections are not visible to the human eye with the typical rough waters in the Hudson River.
But the 30 second exposures smooth out the water and lets the reflections appear -
Hence the name "Midtown Reflections".
The detail in this is incredible - it's 122,500 pixels per square inch!
It is available for only $635.00.
Displaying this unique 5' long image would be incredible anywhere.
And I can provide each image in this panorama, too; at 30" x 20" or 32" x 18".
And this panorama can be done at 30" x 8", too - though not as impressive.
Full Moon over the 'Candy Cane' Empire State Building.
An Award Winning 32" x 21" HD Matte Metal
For $475.00.
This was taken from a pier in Hoboken on 12/29/21 as we knew the Empire State Building would be lit up like a Candy Cane for the Holidays (the Empire State Building posts what color it will be every day). As the moon rose it got colder and colder on the Hudson River waterfront and by the time it got to this spot directly overhead - I could barely feel my fingers. So I captured this image and we left.
Good thing our vehicle was close by!
These are just 4 of the images in my NYC-2020 Gallery on this website.
Any image in this or from any of my other galleries would make a stunning image for any home or office, especially when produced on our industry leading HD Matte Metal!
This is by far THE superior way to enlarge images with tremendous details and ZERO reflections!
