Maybe this might be a good one to play with using the tilt/shift fake miniature technique!

That's a great shot! I love the building on the right. New York has some grand old architecture. That was a great time of day to take that shot. Beautiful lighting.

It was about 40 minutes before sunset.
I was hoping for a nice sunset that day, but the skies weren't cooperating.
No clouds!

Nice shot, Deek! The angle really gives you that "I'm there!" feeling. Sweet.

They've had a model of the Empire State Building inside there with King on it for years!

Ahhh, the winter solstice, the true meaning of christmas. And to think it would have come 4 days early this year too. Nice shot, same location and same angle as the other Empire state shots. Did you "X" mark this spot capn'?

CapnDeek373 In reply to Eschersphere [2005-12-22 21:51:05 +0000 UTC]

This was taken very very close to where the other ones were taken.
I actually did leave an X at the spot for the other ones - for more ESB light pix.

I'm so obsessed with that building to the right of the empire state building in the photograph. I keep seeing it on tv and thinking "wow...I want to see that REAL.

That's probably not the building you keep seeing.
You're probably seeing the Flatiron Building (used as the Daily Bugle in the Spiderman movies)
The building in this shot looks very similar to the Flatiron from this angle.
The Flatiron is only ten blocks from where I work.
I ought to go down and snap a few pix of it...

Mmm the corner of that triangle building looks nice, like some pie...Ugh make myself sick with food.
