"Streaks of Light in the City"

Photo courtesy of Nick Sadowski.                    (Click on the photo for a larger view) Today's picture features a nighttime view of a true New York City landmark. Photographer Nick Sadowski used a long shutter speed to turn the light from passing vehicles into a rather intriguing array of colors to contrast with the dark exterior of the building. And the result is pretty spectacular in my opinion! Here are a few words from Mr. Sadowski about the image: "This photograph features the Fuller Building, now called the 'Flatiron Building' in New York City. The Flatiron Building, one of New York's oldest skyscrapers, is just one of the many iconic images of that fabulous city. I wanted to capture it and also the hustle and bustle that goes on in NYC. The traffic trails represent buses, taxis, police cars, and other traffic. I shot this with my Canon EOS 5D with my 16-35mm lens."   --Nick Sadowski   Visitor Comments...
