You are still fortunate that it's only the towers you won't see.

Others may not see ANYTHING else forever.

Fantastic shot.........and indeed it could never be repeated.......

Thank you. Posting such work is sensitive - to me and maybe others - I am glad that I do have such a view and photograph to share with people and connect them to the World Trade Center in a different way than most around the world know them as. Most know them as the towers that collapsed in the terrorist attack.... I knew them as my ultimate playground, where I would take my friends who visited NYC and I could see my city from it's tip. I am glad I have this and it reminds me to keep shooting for things do change.

beautiful. i never got to see them apart from photos...except for the light memorial they had for a while. we went thru the city the spring break after 9/11. a very moving image.

It may look cool in color too but I just love this in Black & White! Did you take in B & W or manipulated it?

Hi hun
I am rather and pleasantly surprised you asked such a question. This photo has an odd quality to it and I can see how someone would think it may have been a color digital image transformed to black and white. I'm not saying you did but I can see how someone would wonder if it was film what happened to the grain etc .

This photo was shot using the Leica M6 and Ilfords XP-2 film. The film is a black and white film that is processed in color chemistry using the C-41 film process. This is the same process all labs use for color negative films - meaning that you can shoot black and white film and get it turned around in an hour at any mini-lab.

There are positives to this film but it is one I do not like to use. I find it is a little unpredictable as for image quality. For studio work I have heard it is stunning because of it's very smooth tones and depth but I don't usually shoot under controlled lights and I have never really found it to be as sharp and contrasty as I need my film under such situations to be.

I know I wrote a bunch of stuff here - if you have any questions about any of it just ask me

Very good black and white shot of New York. Love the sparkling lights of the city. This one has its emotional side too...makes me think back to 9/11.

I would love to visit New York some day. It seems so huge.
