One of the best things about living in the Tri-State area is the proximity to New York City. I was born and rised in New York and could never see myself living too far away from it. As a photographer, New York City offers endless photographic opportunities. This particular image was taken from the Top of the Rock in midtown Manhattan shortly after sunset. This popular tourist attraction gets pretty crowded so you have to arrive early and wait for the best vantage point to open up. And, once you secure your spot be prepared to wait for the lights to come on!

This photograph was taken with a tripod. Once again I had to use my small Gorilla tripod since security will not allow large tripods. I used a 17-40mm Canon lens. Processed in Lightroom and Photoshop CS-5.
