Vol. 2 No. 18
Got a recent email reminding me a new section of waterfront had opened in Brooklyn. The Brooklyn Bridge Park has grown by another 6 acres. Pier 1, just opened this Spring, adds 1,300 feet of promenade just south of the Brooklyn Bridge along the busy East River. In what's planned to be a 65 acre expansion spanning to Atlantic Avenue, with completion slated for 2013, Pier 1 and Pier 6 are open. Arriving after 6:00 pm, the sky was filling with clouds with a storm front approaching from the west. This made for an interesting sky.
Offering a fantastic view of Lower Manhattan, from Pier 1 looking north up the East River you can see the Empire State Building framed by the Brooklyn Bridge and to the south there's Governor's Island and the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbour. These first 2 images are examples of HDR photography. Each high dynamic range photograph consists of several different exposures of the same image combined.
This section of the East River is the entranceway from the Harbour and is extremely busy with marine traffic. From the Water Taxi crossing over to the South Street Seaport in Manhattan, to the tugs, pleasure craft and sightseeing cruises, Pier 1 offers a great viewing experience.
This definitely has the makings of a mid-week sunset photo walk. If you're interested, let me know. If you would like more information about the park visit www.brooklynbridgepark.org.
