The top of Rockefeller Center is by far the best view of New York City. Looking south you see the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, the MetLife building and in the distance the World Trade Center and the Statue of Liberty on Liberty Island.
As you step into Central Park from 5th Avenue you soon come across The Pond which reminds you just how peaceful Central Park can be.
The photo that got me into shooting HDR landscape photography is Trey Ratcliff's photo from Times Square. On my first visit to NYC I wanted to recreate what had originally inspired me as an homage to Trey's original work. This was taken at dawn on my first morning in NYC. You can see Good Morning America being filmed to the left.
