New York Skyline Sunset

Posted on June 24, 2011

New York Skyline Sunset
5DMKII + 16-35mm, 1/100 at f/6.3, ISO 100.

A spectacular sunset over New York on a hot and stormy night.

I didn’t have a tripod so I just used the one RAW file to create 3 different jpgs (exposing the sky, buildings & one in between) and combined them as an HDR in Photomatix. I then pulled the shot into Photoshop and added some magic.
