New York is such a beautiful city at night ….the light is great and of course the awesome architecture. Made this shot late at night with my beloved Fujifilm X1oo, the camera for shooting handheld at night.
New York Streets: Where are you?
A familiar moment, standing in front of a coffee store texting your friends”Where are you?” …
New York streets: The cozy face of NY
Even though New York is such a large city, a business city with its Wall Street, it does has its cozy face. I like those streets that has some trees in it, just to get that bit of shadow and cosiness. Some of the familiar districts with lots of green are Greenwich Village and Williamsburg. Of course you can find some nice streets scattered over Manhattan as well …but then you really have to look for them (which I did of course). Try visiting those streets at night or sunset because then it’s even nicer.
New York streets: Reflecting lights
New York really is a beautiful city and especially at night. I just loved wandering around at night, alone with my camera and my thoughts. Without even realizing I walked block after block after block. One thing I, as a photographer, really like in this city is the reflecting lights in the water on the streets …it doubles the light and colours of this amazing city. It just gives the buildings that nice color scheme at night.
New York Streets: Yellow makes New York
It’s almost impossible to capture New York with the colour yellow. Even though New York is known by the colours of their flag I think the yellow is the one that people associate with New York City. Of course I’m talking about the yellow cabs here. In many of my photographs you’ll see a yellow dot somewhere in the background, because they are really everywhere. And at night they really rule the streets so I thought it would be nice opportunity to capture a nice one without too many traffic surrounding it.
New York streets: Alone on the streets
Still guy was enjoying his moment …alone on the streets of New York at night. This was such a nice moment to spot in ‘the city that never sleeps’.
New York streets: Reflecting glass
These great looking glass buildings make such an interesting view. Not only do they reflect the surrounding buildings but also the light of the sky so the streets between these high buildings just get that extra bit of light. And believe me some streets are quite dark even during a sunny day because of the shadow.
