New York Skyline Architectural Detail | Wall Art
Kurt Vonnegut famously labeled New York City as “Sky Scraper National Park.” I can not agree more. The American citscape in the fine art photograph is filled with tall, stunningly beautiful buildings. In addition, various old New York Office buildings are visible, each with unique lighting. Some illuminated in sunlight and others in deep shade. New York is the world’s business capital with its towering sky scrappers throughout tbusy city’s he Manhattan and wall street section.
The architectural detail in this image use light, line, and form to create a great architectural photograph. This image was shot with a Nikon D4s (1/800 sec at f / 6.3) ISO 140. I zoomed in with the Nikon 70-200 mm f/2.8 lens to isolate the various buildings. Several buildings are highlighted with sunlight, and others are cast in shadow. Which is what I was looking for when I composed this image.
In Adobe Lightroom, I switched the urban travel image to Black and White, under-exposed, and boosted the highlights to exaggerate the shadows further. In addition, the picture was slightly adjusted so that the leading lines were perfectly vertical.
