Brooklyn Bridge - 9/11 Memorial Lights
Brooklyn Bridge - 9/11 Memorial LIghts
***Dedicated to the almost 3,000 victims... We will never forget!
Hello Everyone!
Last night I walked from my apartment all the way to Brooklyn to pay my respect to all of the victims of the 9/11 Terrorist Attacks. While walking the bridge I had parallel memories of all the people fleeing Manhattan during the day of the attacks.
Here is one image I captured just after sunset right after the lights became visible. As the evening progressed, the lights appeared stronger and stronger.
Camera Data for this shot:
Camera: Nikon D3
Lens: Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8
F Stop: f/5.6
9 Exposure HDR / HDI
ISO: 200
Post Processing for this shot:
Imported each of the 9 exposures as layers in Photoshop and manually blended through the use of layer masks.
More Wiki knowledge about the lights:
After some consideration it was decided to contact lighting experts in the field of high intensity light displays. A Las Vegas company was chosen to help design the installation and to supply the 88 fixtures that would be needed. The project was originally going to be named "Towers of Light", but the victims' families felt that the name emphasized the buildings destroyed instead of the people killed.
On clear nights, the lights could be seen from over 60 miles away, visible in all of New York City and most of suburban Northern New Jersey and Long Island, Fairfield, Connecticut, Westchester County and Rockland County, New York. The beams were clearly visible from the terrace at Century Country Club in Purchase, New York, from at least as far west as western Morris County, in Flanders, New Jersey, and as far south near Trenton, New Jersey in nearby Hamilton. Since 2008, the generators that power Tribute in Light have been fueled with biodiesel made from recycled cooking oil
