Pier Parts

Where: Hudson River Park (I think is what it's called, I could be wrong), West Village, NYC
When: September 2, 2009

This isn't quite what I wanted - I had this image in my head of nothing but silver water accented with black pier posts, but the sun had moved too far by the time I got there, and I was so blinded in this attempt (I had to completely guess at the camera settings, because I couldn't see my meter) that I haven't tried again. And maybe the path of light is more interesting, compositionally, than nothing but shining water. We'll find out eventually - blinding light is too tempting for me to resist for long.

I like the way some of the light points are like little starbursts. That's from cranking the aperture as small as it will go, which I did in the hopes of getting precisely that effect. Love it when a plan comes (mostly) together.
