There is one New York in the world, and there is only one New York.
New York is a very special city in the United States. Before arriving in the United States, most of the impressions of the United States came from this skyscraper capital made of reinforced concrete.One World Observatory looks down on New York City.
There are so many cities where modern buildings gather, but New York has her unparalleled charm. Since the construction engineering technology in the United States has been developed enough to build hundreds of high-rise buildings in the early 20th century, the architectural styles built in different historical periods are different, with the brand of the times in each historical period. From the shape, structure, to the specific details of decoration, it is different from modern buildings.
We all remember the terrorist attacks in 2001. This historical disaster killed more than 2,000 people, destroyed the twin towers of the World Trade Center, and greatly damaged the economy and confidence of the United States. This new World Trade Center was built on the edge of the original site. It was built from 2006 to its opening in 2014, and the antenna height is 1,776 feet (541 meters) to commemorate the year of the signing of the American Declaration of Independence (1776). It is now the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere. The designer is the author of Burj Khalifa in Dubai and Willis Tower in Chicago. The perimeter is dominated by glass walls, and simple lines outline this very modern skyscraper.
New World Trade Center is located at the southernmost tip of Manhattan Island, where the Hudson River and the East River converge into the sea, and the view is extremely wide.
Since it has just opened, all the facilities in the building are brand new. The security check is strict, which is the most demanding of the observation decks I have walked through, and it is comparable to the security check procedures at the airport. Understandably sensitive to terrorist attacks.
Unobstructed 360-degree views of Downtown, Midtown, Brooklyn and New Jersey. From a photographic point of view, although the view from this viewing platform is good, the conditions are poor and it is not easy to produce films. Since the observation deck is indoors, the thick glass not only causes serious reflections, which are extremely serious in wide-angle shooting, but also makes telephoto shooting that cares about details impossible. A big challenge for serious photography enthusiasts. Fortunately, no one prevented the use of a tripod, and night scenes were at least captured.
Tips for eliminating reflections: Keep the lens as close to the glass as possible, or you can use your hand to circle it into a tube to block incoming interference light. If there is a big friend next to you, grab it and make it a light shield. The reflections that cannot be removed can be removed later.
The buildings of Midtown, Times Square, the Empire State Building and the skyline are unobstructed on the north side. Handheld for shooting during the day. The best location at night was turned into a vicious commercial propaganda stand, so it was impossible to shoot.
Office buildings along the Hudson River in New Jersey can also be seen. Goldman Sachs headquarters building, the tallest building in New Jersey.
Buildings on the Hudson River and Midtown Manhattan. You can see Times Square and the Empire State Building.
