    Joe – this picture is incredible! What part of manhattan is it taken from?

    Also if you dont mind me asking what was your shutter / Fstop / ISO?

    Thanks, all!

    RJ, this was shot in Red Hook at the back of the Fairway. I shot it with my D700 and the Nikon 17-35mm f/2.8D at 35mm. The settings were a bit crazy: f/22, 1/3200 sec, ISO 800, EV -2.66.

    Joe! This is absolutely stunning. After all these years, I have come to expect incredible pictures from you of this city I love but this one here? Is really exceptional. Thank you.

    Joe – thank you so much for your response – i am utterly mesmerized by this photo! the settings are dfintekly not what i would have expected – but really interesting to know so thank you for sharing! have you considered putting A, shutter, ISO up for your shots? it always intrigues me!

    I had absolutely no reason to shoot this particular image at the odd settings of ISO 800 and 1/3200 second, but the ISO had been set high for a lot of what I had been shooting moments earlier — darker scenes that didn’t include the bright sky. f/22 was also unnecessary. I’d probably set it at f/8 for maximum sharpness, because I don’t need depth of field when everything is at infinity…

    I’d include EXIF data in more of my posts, but it’s a pain to copy and include. I can’t find a way to automate it.

    Neato! I love when the settings are accidentally wacky from another shot and you end up with something surprisingly special.

    Well no matter what setting you used the end result is just gorgeous!
