I made it out to a roof top party in the East Village. As always, I was a little stricken with social anxiety but after a few drinks, I became a bit more comfortable. It was good fun and I welcomed the opportunity to view the city from such a magnificent perspective. As soon as the fireworks began, I set up my camera and tripod.
The pictures were achieved using a telescopic lens and a 2-3 second shutter speed and a bit of experimentation with the aperture size. I got really lucky with the timing of some of these shots and the results are truly spectacular. Enjoy.
WEPAAAA HAPPY NEW YEAR....OOPS I MEAN FORTH OF JULY
Well the pictures truly are spectacular. The United Nations building somewhat blocked the view but at least now with your pictures I can see what I may have missed.
