2013 Project 52, Week 42: Staten Island Ferry

Week 42: October 15-21

On what seemed like a rare weekend day off for Sharon, we slipped downtown to check out Battery Park and to take the Staten Island Ferry. I'd been once before on the Ferry, but this was Sharon's first time to go.

I struggled with the lighting on this particular day, since the shadows were so strong inside the Ferry while the sun shone brightly outside. It was such a particular challenge that I'd like to go back on another day to tackle it again. I don't know if it's something that can only be handled by using an external flash. I also noticed, as we were making our approach back to Lower Manhattan, how idea of a shot of the Manhattan skyline I could have had had I acted quicker to switch lenses to my wider lens. So- two ideas for a future trip across the Harbor (for free! A perfect excursion for any tourist/visitor).

This is, I believe, Lady Liberty's inaugural appearance on the Project:
