Empire, NYC – I’ve always dreamt to visit New York, and it finally became a dream come true in December 2015. Lucky me, this was the view from the rooftop of my hotel in Lower East Side. I didn’t have a tripod with me, but I found a way to fix my camera and get a few long exposure shots during sunset and the blue hour. This was originally a blue hour shot, in color, but after a while I felt the need to convert it to black and white. By stripping away the colors I felt like it gave this image a timeless feel, but I applied some split toning to keep the dreamy feeling of the blue hour.
