Storm on the Hudson by Ira L. Lee

Handheld five-shot panorama of Manhattan taken from the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty as a strong late-summer thunderstorm rolled in. I got drenched in the process, but it was worth it! Exposure with a Nikon D200 and Tokina 12-24mm lens (at 15mm) was f/4 at 1/125 sec. Local brightness and contrast adjustments made with Adobe Photoshop. Panorama assembled with Kolor Autopano Giga.
