There is a very small park in Brooklyn. Between the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges. Parking is easy after 6 PM. Don't ask me how to get there by subway. Once you get there you have to climb out on the rocks. Get as close to the water as you can. Even on an overcast day like this one, tourists are going to get in your way if you give them a chance.I love playing with reflections on flowing water. A change in your shutter speed totally changes how the water looks. The slower the shutter speed, the smoother the water gets. This images was created digitally with a 100 film speed, a 17 mm lens setting (on a 17 to 35 mm lens) and was shot at f 4.5 at 15 seconds.
For the record, the dashing white lights in the sky are a helicopter going by. An agency editor (from I won't say which agency) rejected this image because they could not figure out what the white dots were, they thought they were noise. Once those dots were removed the photo was accepted.
