Nightshot of Manhattan in December

traunerk

This shot was taken from a lookout on the Palisades above the Hudson River looking South through the George Washington Bridge and to Manhattan beyond. The tall building in red and green is the Empire State Building at 34th Street in Manhattan. Should note that it was taken handheld at 1600 ISO with the 17-85 IS.

Hope you enjoy...Regards...Keith

Reflection is gorgeous!
I used to freeze trying to take pictures like that back in the film days when I lived in New Jersey.

Awesome. What nice framing. It's good to see what the 17-85 can do with it too. I'm gonna have to find me that lookout.

Very nice, I like this a lot! Did you use any post processing to reduce the noise, or did you post it as how you shot it?

post-processing

As usual, some levels adjustment, saturation, and sharpening. In this case I also used noise reduction filter in photoshop elements 3 - paying particular attention to the sky.

Thanks for looking...regards...Keith
