Twin Lights by Nenette Yu

About the Image(s)


Every year, on the anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attack in New York City that took out the twin towers of the World Trade Center, the city shines these two massive lights all night to commemorate all the innocent lives lost. These lights shine all night til dawn the following morning. This year was my first time to see these lights. I went out with a group of Photo Club friends to shoot. I was able to get a picture of Lady Liberty as well.

I took this with a tripod. I used a 70-200mm lens, and exposed the shot for 25 secs. I

Wonderful skyline showing great detail and sharpness. Using a tripod was well worth it.

I like this a lot Nenette...very well captured.   Posted: 11/06/2024 02:57:59

This is a beautiful picture. You composed it well so everything is balanced. It's also nice and sharp which is challenging to achieve in night photography.

This picture also tells multiple stories and leaves your thoughts lingering on this picture longer.

Nicely done!   Posted: 11/09/2024 19:17:51

A very Poniente and moving memory or a very tragic moment in time.
As for the image it is a work of art and need to be printed large as you can and mounted on a wall. That is the best way to appreciate it. It will light up a room. Masterpiece.   Posted: 11/11/2024 10:39:13

Wow, nice night cityscape image. Those two giant torch make dynamic of this image rather than only boring dark sky. I agree with Paul comment to print this and mounted in the wall. Can I save this in my hard drive ?   Posted: 11/13/2024 13:18:31
