It is hard to believe, but I took the free raw photo in 2010. I was still shooting with my old and trusted Canon XT (350D).
It’s been a long tradition for me, before leaving New Your and take a 650km drive to Montreal, to stop at Hamilton Park in New Jersey. So I could take a few pictures of the magnificent skyline.
I believe it will be an interesting challenge to edit the featured photo. I took it in July during typical New York summer. It was hot and humid with the prominent haze in the air. Everything looked washed out with no contrast. It will take some effort to bring the image to life.
Plus, you will be amazed by how much noise digital sensors produced in 2010.
Anyway, good luck with the editing.
