Manhattan Skyline ~ Canon 5D with the Canon 24-105mm lens, tripod mounted, 8 seconds at f/6.3, ISO 100. I chose to leave this image a little on the dark side. I liked the “black look” of it. I did evict a large spotlight from one of the boats.

Last night Scott Vincent and I had our Manhattan Skyline Workshop in Weehawkin NJ. We had a very nice group of clients. Everyone was enthusiastic and willing to try new things. We played around a bit with different creative techniques in-camera and Scott and I were on hand to offer our tips on creating night time skyline images.
Manhattan Skyline ~ Canon 5D with the Canon 24-105mm lens, tripod mounted, 1/2 second at f/5.6, ISO 100. If you wanted to you could crop a slice off the top. I’m not fond of panos so I chose not to.
Manhattan Skyline ~ Canon 5D with the Canon 24-105mm lens, tripod mounted, 15 second exposure at f/9, ISO 100. I used a long exposure and moved my camera in a small circle during the exposure which created the light circles. We also did rectangles, zoom blurs etc..

I added a little illustrated effect to this image.

Wonderful images Denise. I particularly like the one with the motion blur of the lights.
Thank you Edith, I appreciate the kind comments and the tweet!

Great set of images, Denise. I like what you did with the group photo. And both of the dark images are real attention-getters. The interplay of the reflections and the ripples in the first one adds a lot of interest.
Dennis, Thank you, I’m glad you like the dark images. They appealed to me and I was hoping they would to others

Hey Denise – Great shots – love the “helicopter” swirls of light. This is such a fun workshop. It’s so exciting to see everyone come away with fantastic, creative images. Everything was perfect about this night – the weather, the brilliant sunset, the moon, the cruise ships!! Great fun!!!!
Scott, You are such a nice person and a pleasure to be around. You are a great workshop leader and I look forward to our next one!!

Looks as if you guys had fun again. My fave is the first one with the reflections of the colored lights and the swirly water. And I like how you used your favorite pier, the one in the water foreground left.
Thanks Artie, it was another fun workshop with very nice clients.

Denise, these are all great. Looks like another fun and productive workshop! Love, love, love the circle blur image and a really neat idea to use Fractalius on the group shot!
Thanks Andrew! I appreciate it.

The first one is a stunning image. The colors are rich and the buildings glitter.
