Fred and I headed over to the Brooklyn waterfront, hoping to do some night-time photography of NYC with the 9/11 "Towers of Light". There is a nice park under the Manhattan Bridge where we (and a number of other photographers) set up camp.
Despite some clouds, it was a beautiful view. Here are a few before sunset:
That's the Brooklyn Bridge in the foreground:
Sailboat on the East River:
Our view of the Manhattan Bridge:
After the sun went down:
The lights of a passing boat are seen below the bridge:
The Williamsburg Bridge is off in the distance, with the footing of the Manhattan Bridge in the foreground:
Another photographer set up on the rocks near the river:
We never did get to see the twin lights - turns out they will only be illuminated on September 11. After a couple of hours of shooting, Fred heading into Manhattan, and I headed home, since I need to be to work in the morning (so what am I doing up late, processing and uploading photos?)
If you ever get a chance to go shooting with Fred, do not miss it (especially at night!) Not only does he take great photos, he is all to happy to explain how he gets those shots - I learned a lot in a few hours.
Thanks Fred :!:
