City mist
Last night there was a slight rain/snow mix falling as I left the restaurant, and a light mist permeated the city. I headed over to Madison Square Park to check on one of my favorite New York views, the Empire State Building framed by the winter tree branches. I liked the way the bright light bled into the mist around the top of the building.

shutter speed was only 1/8 second. To obtain the long vertical
composition above I put the camera into its 16:9 crop mode. Bracing
myself as best I could I took
a number of consecutive shots in order to obtain one without motion
blur. |
