Lower Manhattan Fisheye 3-10-2015
Cruising across New York Harbor gives you an incredible appreciation for the sheer density of Lower Manhattan. Bringing out the fisheye lens from the boat deck allowed me to pull the entire shoreline into a single dynamic frame, curving the urban waterfront naturally against the vast expanse of open water and overcast skies.
The wide barrel distortion wraps the Financial District around the harbor, placing One World Trade Center near the visual center reaching up into textured gray clouds. Soft diffused daylight washes over the varied high-rises and harbor piers, contrasted by the rippled surface of the green Hudson River moving below.
