A Gray New York Skyline

A Gray New York Skyline
This was a lucky capture on my part. While the rest of the sky remained blue, one huge gray cloud served as a perfect backdrop to the South Manhattan skyline. This created the perfect contrast to the beautiful the bright blue sky reflected on the skyscraper to the right of the freedom Tower. Without the big gray cloud backdropped against the buildings, That same skyscraper would look invisible (see photo inset below).

sunny NY skyline

Thanks, Esther! Actually, I took this photo while I was on Governors Island. It really is the very best location to photograph South Manhattan. I did take several photos from the ferry, but I like the shots I took from the island best.

Somehow an overall look over modern city is often gray =D Too much steel and concrete and not enough colors like in old towns and cities.

Valfal club has replied to Sami Serola (inactiv… club
Yes, it is definitely more of a monotone look, but these new buildings that replaced the twin towers are quite beautiful and impressive. That being said, like you, I love the look of small towns and villages for photographing.

I see what you mean - you do need a contrasting colour to emphasise the buildings. Amazing photo

The lower photo is no match for the upper one because of the dramatic sky and an improved composition with the very low horizon. Well done!
