New York seen from the 86th floor

Here are a couple of shots taken from the Empire State Building.

Both have some pretty good contrast in them, it makes me want to see HDR versions of these, nudge nudge hint hint ^_^

Cool shots, but you should actually fade out the borders.

Cool shots. I like how the first one, especially, seems to almost have a 3-D quality to it.

Is it allowed to go to high floors in some tallest buildings there in New York? as i am visiting there this year i hope if everything will be fine, so i want to take some top skyline shots if possible.

You can go to Empire State Building and also to Rockefeller Center. Also, starting July 4 the crown of the Statue of Liberty will open again for the public.

These shots were taken from the ESB. But, beware: there is always a long line. I had to wait more than one hour to get into the elevator! Also, note that there is a security check and they do not allow tripods (pretty bad if you are planning to take some shots at dusk). But. once you are up there, nobody rushes you, so, take your time!

impressive place isn't it. I find the roof top gardens quite fascinating myself

Ah ok, thank you very much!

Too bad, that most of my landscapes and urban and cityscape shots are done with tripod, maybe for cityscape i can do it no problem without tripod at day time and when there is enough light, but for nightshots, oh my, i can't do it without a tripod, i always use ISO100 for nightshots and then i MUST use tripod.

Anyway, if i can't get the shot, i won't die for it.
