The Statue of Liberty is a colossal neoclassical sculpture on Liberty Island in the middle of New York Harbor, in Manhattan, New York City. The statue, designed by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi and dedicated on October 28, 1886, was a gift to the United States from the people of France.
3 shot HDR of the Times Square, New York – One of my favorite places in the city.
Captured this from Rockefeller Centre. Tripods were not allowed to be used. So had to rest the camera on the ledge and get this shot. Created an 3 shot HDR to bring out the finer details in the scene but gave it a natural look.
The astrophysicist Arthur Eddington defined the Arrow of Time in 1927 as any physical quantity that exhibits time-asymmetry. The Arrow of Time is observed almost everywhere – time itself, in ever increasing entropy of thermodynamics, the expanding universe and the irreversible way human societies and cultures amalgamate today.
But the human mind likes to think of happy things. Subconsciously, we associate periodic systems such as the clock and the moon with time. For us, there is always a tomorrow and a next month. There is no dearth of time as time is forever and it seems to repeat itself. But an average human life consists of 900 odd months, and an average day consists of 24 hours, of which we are forced to do nothing for a third. After that, in the words of John Keating, whether cadaver or charcoal, we will be fertilizing daffodils.
When Eddington talked of the Arrow of Time, he was just curious to know more about the laws of God and nature. I am guessing he probably didn’t sleep that night in 1927.
A shot of the Met Life Tower in New York on a New Year’s eve about twelve months ago.
A view of the both the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges near the Fulton landing in Brooklyn,NY. Please take a look at the Black & white version # HERE.
Probably the most colorful spot on the planet at nights. I tried playing around with this shot by doing a HDR and this is the result.. wild colors… i like it 🙂
A view of the NYC skyline in Manhattan from the top of the Rockefeller plaza. Took this show around 11PM in the night. I had quite a tough time shooting this view since i had to setup my tripod in an awkward position over a ledge and the camera much higher than me. It was all trial and error from then on 🙂
This is a 5 exposure HDR created from a single RAW file.
