New York City Fisheye Photo Shoot, pt. II – Bridges
by Val on Mar.20, 2009, under General
This is the second installment of my NYC fisheye Christmas saga. I don’t have as many photos this time, but these are definitely worth seeing.
I have an interesting story about the spot where I shot these images. Apparently it is a popular location for wedding photography - I have seen so many great wedding shots taken there. I always knew this place existed somewhere. At the end of our day trip to Manhattan we had some extra time and decided to give it a shot and look for it and with some more persistence (and some luck ;-) ) we found it.
The place turned out to be a fairly large dock where you can relax, watch Manhattan on the other side of the river and enjoy yourself. And the view… breathtaking. I can only imagine what a spectacle this turns into on a warm summer night.
One thing is for sure – when I do a wedding in New York City, this will definitely be a spot on the list.
Pictured here are the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges along with the Southern portion of Manhattan. If you look closely, the Statue of Liberty can be seen as a tiny green dot in some photos. Happy browsing.
