Picture of the day - December 17, 2008
The "hustle & bustle" of New York City
Photo courtesy of Nick Sadowski.
New York is often called "the city that never sleeps", and today's
picture by photographer Nick Sadowski certainly lends a bit credence
to that nickname. Here is Mr. Sadowski to tell us about the image:
"I took this picture while vacating in New York City from the
walkway over the Brooklyn Bridge. I aimed to show with the
streaking
traffic trails the constant hustle and bustle that is
synonymous
with New York City. The Financial District in lower
Manhattan all
lit up at night simply adds to the effect I was
trying to create.
I shot this with my Canon EOS 5D with my 16-35 f/2.8L lens.
To
achieve the streaking traffic trailing lights, I mounted my
camera
on a tripod and exposed at f/9 for 8 seconds. This
image, and the
others I took during my vacation will always
have me longing to
return to 'The City'." --Nick Sadowski

What a great shot of the traffic crossing the bridge. It's simply
amazing how the cars seem to have disappeared with the long
exposure.

Mr. Sadowski, you did an awesome job capturing the hustle and
bustle of my wonderful city. I hope you enjoyed your New York
vacation as much as I enjoy living here!

Nice photo all around. I have experimented a bit with long nighttime
exposures, but I can never seem to get the streaks of light from the
automobiles quite right. I'd love to know your secret Nick...
