Creator

Carol M. Highsmith

Time: 1997-2001 based on Nymex building at the riverside (finished 1997.)
Camera: probably a Mamiya medium format camera based on photo from photographer's article. Soerfm (talk) 14:21, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know... she seems to change her equipment a bit, and she's changed brands a bit. Her more recent stuff has been with a Phase One A/S P45+. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 22:54, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
...how about: high end medium format analog camera? Soerfm (talk) 10:46, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps it's correct, but let's not veer into OR territory. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:02, 3 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support - Highsmith's donation of her works into the public domain makes her one of my heroes, and this photograph is an illustration of why such efforts are important. Irreplaceable. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 07:14, 1 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support. I'd quite like to see a more precise date, but the picture is very strong and very valuable. J Milburn (talk) 20:44, 1 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Highsmith doesn't seem to have recorded the date she took this... the LOC gives a much worse time frame (between 1980 and 2006 [!]) — Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:52, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Support Excellent quality photo that we won't get the opportunity have a better one of. Fredlyfish4 (talk) 02:58, 4 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Great picture with obvious EV, but I'd prefer that the edit were in a separate file from the original, since the alteration (particularly to hue) is noticeable. Chick Bowen 06:06, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have made some edits to the image as to color, perspective etc. but found that there was not many ways to improve it. Before the nomination I returned to the original picture with some noise reduction around the towers and along the horizon. Soerfm (talk) 12:21, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
