[–]mSys 4 points5 points ago

This is an incredible pic

[–]karltee 3 points4 points ago

[–]The_eye_in_the_sky 9 points10 points ago

Uh, hey mister.... Trick or treat!.... Hey mister? Mister?

Do you have 1920x1080? Would love to use as desktop wallpaper

Posting so that I can see it on my desktop.

[–]bucky420 3 points4 points ago

if you upvote you can just go through your upvote history

[–]timesoldroman 1 point2 points ago

Even better, if you have RES you can just save the comment!

[–]haiduz 0 points1 point ago

Who does that? (me, right now)

[–]dishonorableFort Lauderdale, FL 8 points9 points ago

It is 1920x1080

[–]ThePain 16 points17 points ago

I felt you were missing a logo

[–]Dead_Moss 14 points15 points ago

I removed the yellow noise http://i.imgur.com/xodPr.jpg.

Basically I just desaturated everything except the corners where a tiny amount of blue pokes through

[–]neonshaun 7 points8 points ago

higher res! higher res!

add a watermark, this is a spectacular picture.

If it was a pano, it would be the best nyc pic i've ever seen.

[–]funkanthropic[S] 3 points4 points ago

thanks

[–]Fazer2 2 points3 points ago

Don't listen to him, I mean the part with adding a watermark ;-)

BTW great atmosphere!

[–]opiop65 7 points8 points ago

I wouldn't be surprised if we found this exact photo on the news in the next couple of days. Or in books.

[–]AnxiousInfusion 4 points5 points ago

Looks like a movie still.

[–]Bluemoon_333 1 point2 points ago

My first thought was Dark Knight!

[–]glec 7 points8 points ago

50'000 people used to live here... Now it's a ghost town.

[–]dylan24 9 points10 points ago

8.2 million people used to live here... Now it's a ghost town.

[–]psygnisfive 3 points4 points ago

Manhattan itself has only about 1.6 million.

[–]WHY-YOU-LITTLE 4 points5 points ago

Stark. Haunting. Beautiful. Congrats on a memorable photograph.

[–]funkanthropic[S] 0 points1 point ago

thank you

[–]geekychic42 3 points4 points ago

So this is what the apocalypse is going to look like...

[–]Deewayne 3 points4 points ago

This is haunting.

[–]psbales 2 points3 points ago

Lud?

[–]Subway 2 points3 points ago

Had to do some Lightroom work with it, as well. Added some color and noise to get rid of the jpeg artefacts:

[–]funkanthropic[S] 1 point2 points ago

do that to the newer panorama...cool

[–]Subway 3 points4 points ago

I didn't save the settings, so it wont be the same, but anyway, there you go:

http://fredibach.ch/downloads/ny-sandy-pano.jpg

[–]CajunTurkey 0 points1 point ago

I would go there as Max Payne.

[–]MrGuppy85 1 point2 points ago

This would make a spooky Cinemagraph

[–]funkanthropic[S] 2 points3 points ago

This is a frame from a video I took, so that is possible.

[–]99Faces 5 points6 points ago

you should probably upload the video.. just saying

[–]gamma_raycharles 0 points1 point ago

Agreed! OP better deliver

[–]funkanthropic[S] 2 points3 points ago

video is pretty boring and mostly shaky..it was windy.

[–]gamma_raycharles 1 point2 points ago

Well a reason why not is better than no response at all

[–]CrazyHorse84 1 point2 points ago

Except for that boat! :)

Great photo!!!

[–]richalex2010North Central Connecticut 0 points1 point ago

What boat?

[–]CrazyHorse84 0 points1 point ago

Ghost-boat?

I was res'ing the thumbnail and thought that pole-thingy coming in from the left was a wake-trail.

[–]captaincupcake234 0 points1 point ago

Awesome and spooky photo...I hate to be that guy...but can people verify if this is real or shopped?

[–]funkanthropic[S] 2 points3 points ago

Don't know how I can prove it, but I assure you I made no alteration whatsoever.

[–]captaincupcake234 0 points1 point ago

Well, if it is yours, make sure no one steals it without your permission. The more I look at it, the more I believe you took it. Do you have any more?

[–]funkanthropic[S] 1 point2 points ago

Yes, it's from a video I took this morning. Been thinking of trying to make a pano from what's left.

[–]Fazer2 0 points1 point ago

The picture is so great I decided to save it to disk. Am I a thief now?

[–]captaincupcake234 0 points1 point ago

IDK...make sure to add the photo credits.

[–]IM_NOT_ADDICTED 1 point2 points ago

Truly incredible. Damn

[–]Silverbacks 0 points1 point ago

It's missing the background music

[–]Dead_Moss 0 points1 point ago

Awesome picture! A shame the quality isn't too good, but it's still amazing.

[–]MysidianPadawan 0 points1 point ago

That is eerie. Just in time for halloween!

[–]Fazer2 -1 points0 points ago

Misleading title, this is New Your City, not Ghost City.

Source: I live in Ghost City.

[–]Skyless 0 points1 point ago

That city looks like it needs a hero.

[–]SebastianFK 0 points1 point ago

This is going to be my wallpaper! :-)

[–]Mystikilla 0 points1 point ago

Imagine, 100 Years from now a major depopulation event occurs, maybe to the point of the bubonic plauge where 1-2/3rds of people die. But life moves on and you need to drive past the husks of empty cities going to visit someone in the burbs.

[–]deliciouscookiedough 1 point2 points ago

beautiful photo of Gotham City

[–]Sn1pe 0 points1 point ago

New York.......it will endure!

[–]kernel_task_gf__ 0 points1 point ago

You should send this to the Atlantic.

[–]ace_blazer 0 points1 point ago

For some reason this reminds me of A.I. because in that movie the city was halfway underwater.

[–]laurenmunsterJacksonville^_^ 0 points1 point ago

It looks like something from Stephen King's The Mist.....

[–]Scroachity 0 points1 point ago

Gave it upvote 1000... Congrats on the fantastic photo.

[–]Decatf 0 points1 point ago

Life after people: Day 1.

[–]InfamousBacon 0 points1 point ago

As sad as this disaster is, some great pictures are coming out of it.

[–]Beanz122 1 point2 points ago

I Am Legend anybody?

[–]JoyousCacophony 1 point2 points ago

I'm sure this comment is redundant....

Wow. This is one of the best photos I've ever seen of the NYC skyline. It's just perfect. Thanks for sharing!

[–]funkanthropic[S] 0 points1 point ago

thanks for the compliment...glad you like it
