Travel guide of Empire State Building
I was in the US for the first time, I have visited all the places and that includes Empire State Building, I’ve been waiting for the sunset 4 hours there, I was freezing but it was worth the shot. Hope you like it.
I was in NY with my brother for a week of street photography and exploration. Shooting the Empire State building was at the top of my list. I wanted to bring out the fact that he dominates the city despite other high buildings -a central and majestic skyscraper.
This picture what was made from the 230 Fifth Rooftop Bar in NYC. From there you have an amazing view directly to the Empire State Building. While making this photo the weather switched rapidly and the clouds and fog curled around the building.
Found a incredible burger joint that sits on a rooftop midway above the city in lower east side manhattan called Tavern 29. All the lighting and accessories were all part of the experience.
This was my second time in NY city and I had a mission to take a good picture of this landmark because I failed to do it first time. I used my Joby Gorillapod and ND filter in order to capture a crisp long exposure shot and spent quite some time sitting on the ground, playing with different settings, trying to catch a perfect vehicle trail.
This, like my last New York shot, was taken during my last trip to New York City. This was taken from the top of the Rockefeller Building looking towards the Empire State Building. If you look close you can see the Statue of Liberty in the upper back right.
New York, New York. The city that never sleeps. The Big Apple. The city so nice, they named it twice! Whatever name you know the city by I think it’s safe to say everyone will recognise the bright lights and high rises that help make New York, New York. I spent 6 days exploring the big city, from night viewings on the Top of The Rock to golden hour on Brooklyn Bridge and it lived up to and surpassed every expectation I had.

I was just amazed by two things. How this place is really beautiful and how amazing an iPhone picture can be. Day light really helped.
First time experience rain in NYC. I’m used to be rain proof back in the Philippines but the weather in NYC is different.

Shot in December of 2016 in New York. Probably my favourite NYC landmark by a long distance. Such an iconic building.
My bud, Donald, is a fellow Broadway actor. We captured this on my nyc rooftop and felt that it had such a beautiful energy.
As we were driving into New York, I saw this sign for the first time, and just knew that I had to get a photo of it. Every day, walking out of our hotel, I would look up and hope for good clouds and lighting, and on day three, I finally got lucky.

I was on the corner of 69th and Lexington. Once I saw how the sky bridges formed a symmetrical view. I pulled out my phone and snapped.

I was wandering around Brooklyn’s riverside at dusk when I stumbled upon East River State Park and a closed off pier. I was able to rig up this long exposure poking my lens through the fence. It was a hot summer evening and the park was bustling so shooting this deserted pier really felt like a luxury!

Yellow cabs are fully part of the street life in Manhattan, I could not image to come back from New York without any photo with a yellow cabs.

I was walking down the streets of Tribeca outside of my WeWork office and was fascinated by the symmetry and beauty of Greenwich Avenue. The World Trade Center looked phenomenal.

I ran to cross the road in the crazy manhattan traffic and as I was half way across I looked up and saw the lines of the buildings pulling me visually.
