'Brooklyn Bridge, New York' by Tomasito

Brooklyn Bridge, New York, a photo by Tomasito.! on Flickr.

I was watching The Smurfs movie today and it made me really want to visit New York. I've been there once before and it was amazing. As I'd wanted to go there for so long I was really nervous it wouldn't live up to my expectations but it went above and beyond them. I loved it there. But that was back in 2000 (we even got to see the amazing view from the World Trade Centre) and it was just for a three night fleeting visit. I would really love to go again and explore the city more.

I love this picture of Brooklyn Bridge, which I've not been across but if course I would love to. Apparently this photograph is a vertorama-HDR composed of 19 photos. I have no idea how you would go about doing that but I must admit the result is a rather spectacular image.

I went to New York over a decade ago now and totally loved it. I'd wanted to go for ages and had built it up in my head to be a totally awesome place. I was therefore rather worried that it wouldn't live up to my expectations but luckily it did and it was such a fantastic place to visit. We only went for three nights which meant only two full days there. This was nowhere near enough time to explore all the things we wanted to although we did cram a lot into those two days. The hightlights for me include a trip up to the top of the World Trade Centre (I feel honoured), being in The Disney Store on 5th Avenue when it started to snow (it was so magical) and being unable to locate the Empire State Building (we were standing with a map looking lost when we decided to look upwards and ooops there it was!).

I could ramble on couldn't I about New York but I'd better show you a photo. Sadly I can't show you any I took as mine were all taken with film. I should scan them in one day. But I'm sure you won't be disappointed with this one I've chosen. Isn't this just an amazing angle to have taken a photo at? I also love how well the photographer has captured the evening light. Fantastic work!
