The Manhattan skyline like maybe you've never seen it

Thanks to Sploid, we now know about these amazing Manhattan skyline photos by Vincent Laforet, a director, photographer "and a pioneer in tilt-shift, aerial photography, and in HD DSLR cameras for shooting film."

Check out his photo essay here ... the results of him hanging out of a helicopter 7,500 feet above New York City on a very dark and chilly night...

A view of the East Village (and more) from atop the World Trade Center in 1978

Earlier this morning, we posted the photo (via Time magazine) of the neighborhood from atop of the One World Trade Center ...



East Village resident Felton Davis just shared this ... a scan from one of several hundred Kodachome slides from the World Trade Center Observation Deck from the 1970s (this particular shot is circa 1978)... showing the neighborhood (and more) from a similar angle...



Also, as a bonus, here's a photo at sunset showing the shadow of the Twin Towers extending all the way across the East River and into Williamsburg...

What can YOU see?

You made have seen this feature yesterday when it was making the rounds... Time magazine has this mind-boggling (depending on when you are looking at it) photograph from the top of the One World Trade Center.

Gothamist had some info from the news release about how Time got this panoramic shot:

[T]he magazine worked with Gigapan "to build a rotating camera that could withstand the conditions atop the tower. An eight-month process of design and construction resulted in a 13- foot-long aluminum jib that would attach to the base of the spire, and serve as a rotating arm for the camera. Over five hours of shooting, the camera produced nearly 600 images that were then stitched together digitally into a single massive ­image of everything the eye can see in all directions. Users can zoom in and out of the panoramic photo to take in the entire city."

EVG friend Pinhead zoomed toward our part of the city ...



Per Pinhead: "Shades of the old Shorpy's Con Ed pic."

Indeed!

From 1913...

Photograph misty for me

If you were up early, and had access to a taller building or maybe a helicopter or... anyway, then you may have caught the misty-looking views of downtown... Bobby Williams, who does not have a helicopter, took these...



Gothamist has more photos of the morning fog here.
