Photos worth looking at.
Manhattan, Brooklyn, New Jersey, Staten Island, Roosevelt Island, and the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge are all visible.
Photographer Paul Seibert was so high that the pilot was required to wear an oxygen mask to fly the aircraft legally.. “I wanted to do the highest open-door helicopter flight over NYC.” “At these heights, there are not only atmospheric conditions to fight with, but also physiological responses to a lack of oxygen in an unpressurized aircraft. The pilot was on oxygen to safely pilot the helicopter.”Seibert’s spellbinding photos, taken at dawn, of one of the most densely populated areas in the entire world show Manhattan Island, Brooklyn, Jersey City, Staten Island, Roosevelt Island, and the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge.
“The image taken this angle really shows off the Verrazano Narrows, and how this tiny inlet into New York’s Upper Harbor became a main artery for our country hundreds of years ago.”Seibert took the photos on a Canon R5 with a 15-35mm attached, however, he used a 70-200mm zoom lens for some detailed shots of the skyscrapers of Midtown.
