Sunset on the Hudson

Sunset on the Hudson

I don't do many sunsets, but this one made me jump off my bike yesterday to snap a few shots. The sun is about to come out from behind the clouds as it sets over the Hudson, throwing the abandoned pier pylons into silhouette. The sun is setting pretty far south of due west as we approach the winter solstice in a few weeks

  1. I love silhouette shots and you framed this shot perfectly. You gave each pylon its own space , the two building in the back resemble pylons as well... nicely done Mike.

  2. Fantastic how remains off old piers have that pretty decay . You did right to get of your bike and take this shot. Wonderful sunset.

  3. Very beautiful image. This has come out well. I find that silhouettes are sometimes difficult to estimate the correct settings. It is hard to tell from the view screen how black and gold everything is.

    Well taken.
