I absolutely love shooting on foggy, overcast days. Mist and low clouds make the colors of a subject pop, providing naturally heightened contrast. And if I’m really lucky, a little sunlight pierces the gloom to bathe New York in gold.
Who needs sleep? This is the third part of my New York at night series, and currently my favorite collection of shots from my favorite time of day to shoot. I selected these images to showcase a variety of architecture, weather conditions, and lighting all captured once the sun goes down. If you're also a fan of nighttime photography, check out Volume 1 and Volume 2 of this series, and rest assured that there will be more soon.
One of my favorite stories including fog is about the Manhattan Bridge. The beauty of the bridge combines with morning fog creates a strong story about this piece of architecture and giving it Gotham feel.
When shooting during fog conditions use a polarizer to be able to cut through the fog just a bit. I also used a 3 stop nd filter to smoothen the water.

Meeting full moon in Manhattan is an unbelievable experience. The best way to capture the moon in color is to go for moonrise and moonset. Get over-prepared for this shoot,becous it will happen fast.
