Lower Manhattan at the Golden Hour by taffy

Lower Manhattan at the Golden Hour

Another image from NYC, while standing on the Manhattan Bridge with Michael and Junko. I couldn't fit my wide angle lens through the hole in the fencing so was very limited to the angle I could shoot. This is not the shot I wanted (take a look at pano-context in Junko's shot posted March 3 - http://365project.org/jyokota/365/2017-03-03 ), but it's the best one I could come up with given the circumstances.
Thanks for your kind comments on my dancing jellyfish!
I love this shot Taffy! And the color tones and angle. What's not to like? Fav!

Beautiful golden tones. I really love the way that the telephoto lenses compress the view. This is a fabulous shot.

Well knock me over with a feather, the FDR with so little traffic! Had to be a Sunday! This is a tremendous shot Taffy!

Fabulous lighting. City builders are so inconsiderate of us photographers.
March 8th, 2017  
Another great one!

Lovely colours and cleanness. I'm smiling at the poster words too - obviously the jellyfish from yesterday have been out advertising. "We're not scientists but we totally got space!"
March 8th, 2017  
Amazing capture. Huge fav.
March 8th, 2017

Wow, instant Fav!
March 8th, 2017  
a super city scape, love the lighting
March 8th, 2017  
@casablanca Yep -- I laughed at the sign too -- almost cropped it out, but decided it added to the image.

@padlock @stray_shooter Amazingly it was Thursday afternoon, just before 6:00! I would have thought there would be bumper to bumper traffic then.
March 8th, 2017  
you make it look so peaceful!
March 8th, 2017  
Awesome shot of the city. The golden light looks phenomenal!

Incredible picture and perspective.
March 8th, 2017  
Great depth in this image, lovely light. Wonderful city-scape - fav
March 8th, 2017  
Wonderful shot. Fav
March 8th, 2017  
I like the rows of skycrapers and two more things has raised my curiosity : the smart adversiting ban and the absence of traffic jam. Very stunning capture of the great apple.
March 8th, 2017  
Hahaha, I can visualise all of you trying to get shots through a hole in the fence. I am too familiar with the limations and contortions necessary in most places. Wonderful shot with the well-earned pov though, wonderfully clear and sharp. NYC must be a photographers' dream place, especially with a knowledgeable local.
March 9th, 2017  
Wonderful and I totally love the blue sign on that building!!!!!
March 9th, 2017  
Fantastic in every way.
March 9th, 2017  
The lighting is wonderful and the shot so sharp - neat pov from where you were - love NYC shots.
March 9th, 2017

Golden, indeed!
March 9th, 2017  
It almost looks magical, the light and the lack of traffic. Most fabulous on black Fav.
March 9th, 2017  
Fabulous skyline capture!
March 9th, 2017  
Fantastic shot!
March 9th, 2017  
What an amazing photo, Taffy. Beautiful cityscape with the sun going down. So much detail in this photo. Wow! FAV
March 9th, 2017  
gorgeous lighting ... superb composition ~ fav
March 9th, 2017  
@golftragic It was pretty funny -- I couldn't angle my camera at all...Junko changed lenses despite the wind (brave woman) and Michael was using a narrower one. I was worried about too much dust getting into my sensor but as it turned out, the sensor already needs some cleaning!
March 9th, 2017  
We don't need to see the one you wanted, but appreciate this perfectly presented skyline with the blending colours. Love it.
March 9th, 2017  
Still a pretty shot- love the golden glow coming from the sun.
March 9th, 2017  
Simply stunning. FAV
