I could very happily wake up to this every day. Now I am back in England in the cold I do kind of miss this view.
3 good things:
1 - Waking up to a video message of Alexis sent to me by her mum
2 - Getting to the end of the first week’s coverage with no major issues, and a quick de-rig
3 - A silly one but the fact I managed to resist spending more money on beer and actually got on with my packing my suitcase…after using the ‘beer time’ to take pictures instead that is :)
Another stunningly lit shot Steve.......your evening shots are terrific! I need to get to grips with night time shooting before I go to NY. I know it's all in the shutter speed but must check out your Exif. I cannot get it into my head about shutter speeds at all, all my night time shots come out with the lights blurry. Will have to practice!
@happypat Yes you must...especially in NYC.
So night time shooting involves no flash ideally and a tripod, or a Joby Gorrillpod. They are great but I would really suggest taking a set of sticks especially when you are in public spaces that won't have security guards all over you.
Low ISO, and a slow shutter speed if you like light trails but anything below 1/125th handheld will be blurry if you use a low ISO hence the tripod. If you use a high ISO then you can shoot handheld quite happily as long as the shutter isn;t too slow.
It all depends on what you want to achieve...I can suggest a few things if you've got an idea of the shots you want...?
If you go up Empire State for example at night and want a night shot you'll need to crank up the ISO for a handheld shot that isn't and/or use a tripod.
