  • In this video, I shoot the Manhattan skyline from Bayonne, NJ (Port of New Jersey) with my Nikon D850. It is a great location to photograph the skyline as many iconic structures are in the frame (State of Liberty, One World Trade Center, Empire State Building, One Vanderbilt, One Bryant Park)

    That is by far my favorite place to shoot the nyc skyline and yes I’ve been kicked out of there a couple of times. Only days they don’t bust your chops are 7/4 and 9/11. So want to go when there are clouds to try long exposure. Nyc is always hit or miss with clouds I find. Cool video. Glad you mentioned your run in with NJ’s finest as that can end a trip fast and you have to understand that.

      Thanks so much. The security issue was why I did not include it my earlier video. They did not hassle me on 9/11 so I figured I would head back.

    Visited this spot on my vacation last week, great view but a bit difficult to manage (with a long focal length) when it is windy, Not easy to reach with only public transportation and by feet, but it was worth it!

    • @JCImagesBehindtheShot
      @JCImagesBehindtheShot  Год назад +1

      Tough to get with public transport. I am impressed with your effort. Long focal length and wind are a touch combination, especially in low light.

    I've only been to NYC once, when I was 7, and I really don't have any desire to go until I see one of your videos taking photos of the skyline. Strange that the cop would ask you to stand on the road side of the guard rail? Some really great panos in this video. Really enjoyed seeing this location. Hope you are doing well, have a great week!

      I have never felt unsafe there. There is nothing but the Port of New Jersey and there is usually security around. It is not an urban area.

    I went here to shoot and arrived about an hour before sunset set up took a few shots then waited for Blue hour. Port Authority police came along and said I had to leave, but I asked if I could come back after dark he said yes, which I was surprised by. So I left for about 45 minutes then came back and shot for 2 hours. Nobody else around and police never came by again. I think it depends on the timing and probably the officer. Be respectful and as low key as possible.
