New York

Photos in this gallery capture scenes from New York, ranging from sunsets over the Hudson River, Grant’s Tomb, and the hustle and bustle of Times Square on a Friday night.

This was captured from the top of the stadium style seats from Duffy Square on a cold February evening. In the center are congratulations to the newly-crowned 2012 Super Bowl champion New York Giants as pretty women in the ad to the right look on. I took numerous exposures from a tripod mounted on the stadium seats. The shutter speeds ranged from 1/20 to 25 seconds at f7.1-f25, all at 100 ISO. I did not use HDR for this; rather I used layer masks capturing the best features from the exposures. For example, the lit up ads were generally from the underexposed exposures while the darker areas and the light trails from the cars are from the overexposed versions. <br />

Duffy Square is the northern triangle of Times Square located between 45th and 47th Streets. The square is home of the TKTS reduced price tickets. The TKTS outlet is triangle shaped, with red stadium style seats on the reverse side of the ticket booth, ideal for people watching and shooting tripod mount exposures of Times Square. Francis Patrick Duffy was an American soldier, Roman Catholic priest, and chaplain. He gained wide acclaim during World War I; as the chaplain for the "Fighting 69th" New York, he became the most highly decorated cleric in the history of the U.S. Army.
