Description

I went up to the roof of my apartment building this afternoon, primarily to get another sunset shot of the south-facing view. But I was about 20 minutes early, so I decided to take advantage of the time by facing north, and getting a shot of the afternoon sun on the apartment buildings along the Hudson River, on Manhattan's Upper West Side. The bridge dominates most of the scene, of course, and everything else looks ... well, just cold.

By way of comparison, here is the same shot taken in July 2009, a little after sunset.

This particular shot was a 7-image HDR composite. I had enough sense to use a tripod, but the wind was gusting so hard that I wasn't at all sure whether I'd be able to get even one crisp image, let alone seven that could be superimposed on each other for the HDR tonal mapping effect. But I think it came out reasonably well...
