On my recent trip to New York City while visiting Columbia University, I shot this image on one of the Manhattan cruise ships. I knew that I needed a lower apperture so that the light didn't completely overtake the shapes and figure of the statue. I also needed a faster shutter speed because the ship did not make for ideal motion conditions. From this I learned that capturing an image at night does not mean just using the light available because sometimes it's even too much. I also learned how to control my ss when in motion, thus creating an image that was shot quickly but shot well. It's also one of my first night landscapes, and I'm happy with how it came out.
