Times Square at Dusk
(btw, you can DIGG this photo here)
Times Square is one of the most photographed places in the world. I usually try not to do touristy thing, but hey, it’s Times Square. I thought I would try a new take on this shot, arriving just as the sun started to set.
The biggest problem was people waling in front of the tripod, totally aloof to my HDR quest. Since it takes five minutes to explain HDR to people, it was not efficient to stop everyone in the area and give them a short dissertation on why it is important for them not to get in front of my tripod…
Anyway, I really like this shot. I think one of my favorite things was the clouds in the dusk sky.

having photographed times square myself.. I can appreciate how difficult it can be.
Especially if you need a long exposure or more than one image.

Wow hey thanks all!
I used a 10mm lens on this one… I cropped off the edges a bit so it is really more like 14mm.

Fantastic shot - as always. I’ve been hoping you’d do some pictures of NYC since I stumbled across your blog last year, and you haven’t disappointed.
