Photo Taken

Taken middle of February 2009, between 8:30-9:00am.

Photo Description

The Empire State Building framed by a lamp post and an unknown building. As I was walking through the city quite early in the morning I noticed how blue the sky was. Then saw the Empire State Building on my left. I crossed the road to see the other side of the building which was still in the shade & quite dark. As I looked up to the point I saw the way the lamp post & other building in the dark side of the block contrasted against the bright blue sky and thought it would make a nice photo.

Tips and Tricks

  • I don't have any tips or tricks for taking photos. I just look at the scene before I take the photo. I didn't use any filters or colour enhancers, the sky really was that blue.
