It is hot again in the H city!

and caught the sun broke through thick clouds.

Tiny info:

*view large for texture*
Evening Folks, I caught these sun rays shining down out of the sky yesterday while picking my daughter up from school. I applied a few bi-colored filters to it and turned it into a oil painting. I liked the colors and lines in it so I decided to post it as a good luck piece for everyone this weekend.

I'm packing my gear up for a trip to NY City in a few hours to photograph & document the raising of the "MIRACLE ON THE HUDSON" jet airliner that went down yesterday for the local news paper. I don't have any press credentials for this from the paper since I'm going as a freelance but I'm hoping my retired police ID will get me close to the action after talking to a few fellow officers ;) Hopefully I'll be able to get some good captures to bring back and create a gallery to share with all of you, so keep your fingers crossed. Oh and yes I have plenty of HOT TOES & HAND heating pads to keep warm, plus my heavy leather jacket, scarf, gloves & hat will be part of my wardrobe LOL. I might even take a few SP's so you can see me freezing LOL.

I was hoping to shoot it from Weehawken NJ pier where the Ferries that rescued everyone dock but the plane floated 3 miles down river now and will have to enter the city to get close enough, even with the 800mm lens I have it just won't cut it. Amazing how the pilot was able to land on water and keep everyone alive, a miracle in my book that's for sure. They announced that they will be raising her out of the sea at 10am so I'll be off at 4:30am to avoid any morning rush hour traffic (which starts about 5:30am) and try to get a good piece of real estate to set my gear up on in order to record a little history, I'm only 35 min. from the city. Since a water landing with no death or even injuries  has never occurred I would say it's an important event.

I'll be posting the images (if I get some) as soon as I return later this afternoon, hopefully in VICTORY !

UPDATE **** I'M BACK, It's a LONG "But VERY Interesting" Story which I'll write tomorrow, Good thing is I DID get SOME images that should be pretty cool of the plane crash AND some Awesome Surise hour shots of the city scape & surrounding area! Bad thing is I couldn't wait any longer for them to pull it out, I was there 12 hours and they still didn't START! They're having problems lifting the ICE flooded 1,000,000 lb. plane out. It was 'OMG' COLD and my spine couldn't take any more. I'll be working on the gallery Images RIGHT NOW and will post when it's done in a few hours, I have (3) 8 Gig & (3) 4 Gig cars to go thru, TTYS!

PS: Thanks for all your WONDERFUL comments on my rope image yesterday !
