View of the New York City Skyline from the Millenium Hotel

I took this photo years ago, in 2010 I believe. I used a little Canon point & shoot camera, pressed against the window of the hotel room. Recently I found this photo in my archive and used Photoshop to bring out the colors and sharpness, as well as reduce the noise.

I am not one of those photographers who will tell you “the camera doesn’t matter!” because it certainly does. However, once in a while, you can get a great shot even with a lowly point and shoot (and some Photoshop skills).

In this photo the main point of interest is the Chrysler Building, one of my favorite buildings to take pictures of.

New York City Skyline As Seen From the Ink Hotel

The Manhattan skyline is beautiful at night with all of the lights shining. In this photo you can see many major corporate buildings, such as the Conde Naste Building (the one that says H&M on it) and the Bank of America Tower behind it.

Towards the right side of the image, you can see the Empire State Building hiding behind the New York Times Building.

Dramatic Skies Over New York City’s High Line.

I just happened to be in the right place at the right time. The sky was turning this amazing shade of purple as the sun was setting, and there were enough clouds in the sky to make it a  bit more interesting. The High Line is in the distance.
