THE BIG PICTURE: NYC

My post is about the snapshot photo we were supposed to take on October 11. I frequently take the ferry since it’s the only way I know of to get to Manhattan from Staten Island. On the ferry, I often see tourists, more than anywhere else. When I think of the ferry, I think of photos. So it seemed to be the best place to take a photo since everyone else thinks so. I chose this photo (which I put below) because it was supposed to be about NY and the most “NY” place I know of is NYC. I decided to combine the two… and that’s how this photo came about. The reason I love this photo is probably the sky. The way it looks like a  ” storm is brewing”. To me the best photographs are the ones that incorporate nature or even architectural components. I personally dislike pictures of people or faces (I don’t mean to offend anyone). So, having all those components in this photograph just made it so much better, the sky, the water, the boats and most importantly, NYC.

beautiful; almost doesn’t look real

Thank You…the vivid effect was added to it, to make it clearer, better and that’s probably why it doesn’t look real
