Big city: resting in peace by Nick De Clercq

This image was taken in 2010 in the heart of the Financial district in New York City.
Resting ground right in the middle of one of the busiest districts in one of the busiest cities in the world. Gives a whole other meaning to the word resting.

I recently came across Trey Ratcliff’s website/blog. And I got interested in what he does and how he does it. So after following his HDR-tutorial I started experimenting with HDR-photography myself.

I will be posting a couple of those experiments on my blog as I go along. And I will also create an extra gallery on my website to showcase those HDR images.

Here is one of my HDR experiments of New York:

After a trip of 12 days to the Big Apple, I am back home. It was fun, I got some great pictures, saw some amazing things, but I am glad to be back home.

After been to NY in ’97 and again in ’04. I was now finally able to go sightseeing. Although everyone told me that 12 days was way more than needed, I was still not able to see everything that I wanted to see. I definitely saw more then most.

The positive thing about this is that I will have to go back.

Now that the trip is over, I would have to say that there are a couple of things that will

stay with me for a very long time:

• First my birthday meal at Hard Rock Cafe, which was as every birthday that I had at HRC: fun to get embarrassed.
• Second the view of NY from Rockefeller Center and the Empire State Building.
• Third just the general sightseeing walks (each more then 10 km) with the great company of a friend.

As a conclusion I would have to say it was a great trip and I saw a lot. But I will definitely have to go back in the near future to see the rest.
