Stock Shot Project

Twice a year the setting sun lines up with the street grid of New York City in an event referred to as "Manhattanhenge".  The actual date for this is tomorrow, the 12th of July, but you can photograph for several days prior.  This shot shows the Empire State Building with the setting sun.  A six-sided star filter was used on a 24mm focal length lens to enhance the sun burst effect.  Shot with a Nikon D700, ISO 200, 1/800 second at f/4.
