Last night I went to the Radio City Music Hall on 50th and 6th Ave in NYC. This iconic hall has been the subject of millions of photographers pro and novice alike for generations. Radio City Music Hall has a great amount of history behind it; and I wanted to be one of the millions of people who have this iconic building as part of my photography folio.
In this photo, I took the shot immediately after Radio City started turning off their shots for the night, at about 12:20 AM. I didn't think of taking a photo of the building with the lights off. I can say it really looses a lot of luster when the lights are off.
In addition to wanting the music hall in my collection, I wanted to test out the limits of my camera's ability to take quality photos in very low light. I shot various methods. But I believe I found shooting at F4, ISO 100 and at 30 seconds worked best for me. I will do this test on another iconic subject in NYC, extending the amount of time I'll keep the shutter open. I want to push it to 30 minute exposures. For now enjoy these photos.
