Photographer Pat O'Brien shares this aerial photo of Roosevelt Island and the East River Manhattan skyline

Image From Pat O'Brien

adding:

Taken from the helicopter during a steep left hand turn. That’s why you’re able to see one of the blades in the shot.

The view of Roosevelt Island is looking south from the Octagon Building/Tennis Courts to the Queensboro Bridge.

Terrific photo. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful Nighttime Panoramic Pictures of Manhattan Skyline and The Encampment From Roosevelt Island's Southpoint Park

Photo by Joergen Geerds

More panoramic pictures from Roosevelt Island's Southpoint Park. This time taken at night. Click on link here to fully view beautiful panoramic nighttime view of Midtown Manhattan as seen from Southpoint Park on Roosevelt Island.

Plus, panoramic picture from the Encampment at Southpoint Park.

Photo by Joergen Geerds

Click on link here to fully view panoramic picture of Encampment public art project.

The works of the photographer, Joergen Geerds, will be part of a gallery show titled "Points of View" to be held at the Tabla Rasa Gallery in Brooklyn. More details here.

Joergen explains that to capture these panoramic images he uses a Canon XT1.

This setup gives me the same pixel amount as my graflex setup, but with less trouble with scanning&retouching. Exposure bracketing/blending gives me super rich dynamic range with 3 rows of 12 images usually and I think the results are now exactly where I wanted them to be.

Good job! Go see his show.

I'll Take Manhattan - From Roosevelt Island

The Weblicist of Manhattan, who provides virtual photo tours of much of New York City, has shot these incredibly beautiful images of the New York City Skyline from Roosevelt Island. The photos remind me of the opening montage (link to Truveo video - try to catch picture of Roosevelt Island Tram in montage) of Woody Allen's film Manhattan and the wonderful Gershwin music. This time the Weblicist's Skyline is in color.

Today's Roosevelt Island Weekend Waterfront video (it meets my criteria because there are images of the Thames River) imagines if Woody Allen were born in London.



You Tube video link is here.

Also, here is You Tube link to Edinhattan, a tribute to Edinburgh, Scotland and homage to Woody Allen's Manhattan though some don't like the movie.
