Midtown Manhattan and the East River
Uploaded: May 22, 2011
This is a High Dynamic Range panorama of a portion of midtown Manhattan. It is but a small portion of the entire panorama that measures 8 feet in width at full size. To say it was a thrill to have the opportunity to take such a picture would be gross understatement. It was my thrill of a lifetime. I grew up a mere 100 miles from the city but until recently never experienced its pulse.
Exif: F Number: 6.4, ExposureTime: 195/100000 seconds, ISO: 125, FocalLength: 25.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 50D

Spectacular, Dick. Would love to see this hanging...it was commissioned, right? #9423180Dick Jenkins May 23, 2011
Well Michelle, commissioned with stipulations I'd say. I have two six foot wide versions hanging in my entry. The limiting factors I had with size was (1) the availability of 8 ft. wide foamcore to mount the photo, (2) available wall space in my entry. New York has an 8 foot print. We rolled the dice on the weather there in the fall of 2010 and the skies were pretty much as you see them for my entire stay. Wasn't it a friend of Mark Twain who is credited with saying, "Everybody complains about the weather, but nobody does anything about it"? #9423629Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
