Who needs sleep? This is the third part of my New York at night series, and currently my favorite collection of shots from my favorite time of day to shoot. I selected these images to showcase a variety of architecture, weather conditions, and lighting all captured once the sun goes down. If you're also a fan of nighttime photography, check out Volume 1 and Volume 2 of this series, and rest assured that there will be more soon.
It took me more than a year to put this series together. Shooting the moon in relation to the skyline requires patience- you have to wait until it's positioned where you want it in the sky, and then hope the weather cooperates. Any combination of clouds, fog or ambient light pollution can ruin the shot. Then you have to wait for the moon to return to the same place in the sky and keep your fingers crossed for better weather. But when it all works out, the results are magical. Take a look at the previous series.
It's been a while since New York has experienced as much winter weather as we've had this year. I made sure to get out with my camera before the plows did their work and the remaining snow turned that less-than-appealing salty gray.
Snow highlights the beauty of New York differently. People stand out in their surroundings more, allowing the city to frame them in places they'd otherwise be lost in the shuffle of everyday life. This may be the city that never sleeps, but it's always a treat to see nature slow it down.
Wildfires covered the West Coast in September 2020. There was so much smoke in the sky that it got to the East Coast. I Have captured some photos with the sun in the frame, really rear for me but the sun looks insane.
