View from the Empire State building


This is a picture from my visit to New York in May. It was still bright when I got in the line to go to the top of the Empire State building... but oh boy... there were probably more people waiting in line than live here in Iceland :o)

Wow!! Great view of a big town and the huge houses seem to be so small from this sight...

Great view......I was up there 4 hours, waiting for the sunset, which was really awesome ;-)

Oddur Jonsson pro replies:
Thank you Berny27. This picture was hand held at 2 seconds, I took pictures of the sunset but they were too shaky because I didn't have a tripod. But the sunset from there is really awesome :o)

Ótrúlega flott ljósashow... og ég hef aldrei séð svona mörg og stór hús! :o)

Oddur Jonsson pro replies:
Takk Begga. Ég reyndi að skorða mig upp við vegg, en hinar myndirnar voru ekki eins góðar. Setti samt inn nótu með lítilli mynd af sólarlagslitunum :o)
Og ljósashowið var alveg ótrúlegt, næst verð ég lengur... og með þrífót :o)

WWooaa!!!! I feel dizzy!!!! It's great you still managed to capture some detail in the clouds without over-exposing the building and street lights. Excellent! :)

Oddur Jonsson pro replies:
Thank you Nigel. I tried not to overexpose it, had it rather dark and fixed what I could in Photoshop :o) It is an awesome building and the view is great. Somehow everything seems so big in USA :)

Ha ha, Frábær mynd hjá þér. Hef komið þarna nokkrum sinnum og yfirleitt ekki mikið af fólki þá, kannski er látið vita áður en ég mæti.. hahahaha

Takk Sigrún. Kannski ég reyni að stóla á að vera á sama tíma og þú næst, troðningurinn og biðin var alveg að drepa okkur úr leiðindum :o)

Thank you Bita. If I would have had a tripod with me I would have had many great photos from this place, but most of them were too blurry to post.
