The centerpiece of the newly opened World Trade Center Transit Hub is the great hall known as The Oculus, designed by Santiago Calatrava. It is an incredible, breath-taking, soaring bright space, and I only wish everyone taking the train into Manhattan for the first time had to exit here, instead of the slap-in-the-face that is today's Penn Station.
Standing at the east end, the skylight frames a view of the new One World Trade Center tower. I used a 10-stop filter, resulting in a 73-second exposure, to blur out most of the crowds of people, except the persistent "stand-still" folks ;)

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
The following truth is one of the core philosophies of BetterPhoto:
I hear, I forget.
I see, I remember.
I do, I understand.
You learn by doing. Take your next online photography class.
