Last in this week's series of gloomy New York panoramas, this image is a still from Sky Captain And The World Of Tomorrow, a movie remarkable (only) for its painstaking special effects. The spire of Empire State Building, now festooned with communications antennae, was originally designed with a docking port for dirigibles, a fantastic conceit only realized in Sky Captain's alternate New York.
A gorgeous aerial view of Gotham, the computer-generated city of Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins.
Not everybody's so impressed by high dynamic range photography. The relatively novel technique, which produced the gloomy Gotham cityscape we published yesterday, can also be used simply to pump up an image with color. Cheesy. Nikola Tamindzic's first nightlife pictures for Gawker made heavy use of filters in Photoshop, the standard photo manipulation software. But the photographer has gradually weaned himself off Photoshop and eschews HDR programs such as Photomatix. Here's a panorama of downtown New York (from Nikola's Home of the Vain portfolio site) using traditional means.

High dynamic range imaging, a technique which amplifies the tonal range in a photograph, is particularly effective in capturing cityscapes. This panorama, New York City at Night, by Paulo Barcellos, gives the midtown skyscrapers an ambience that looks borrowed from the computer generated imagery of the Batman movies.

Gotham magazine has compiled its list of the hottest 100 most eligible bachelors in New York. And ladies, just a note, if these guys are the creme of the crop, you are soooooo screwed! First of all, many of them are "openly" gay. Second of all, though there are 770,000 more unmarried women than unmarried men in the New York City area, there is no excuse for including Ronn Torossian, the newly divorced and unbearable 5W PR honcho. (He represents Joe Francis!) The list also includes a guy named Jono (no last name) and Cator "Dandy in Distress" Sparks, a freelance writer. There's also a couple I-bankers, a Kushner (obviously) and even a Knick, who you know knows how to treat the ladies right! The only name missing from the list is prime monster Eric Schaeffer but we hear he's still dating Kelly Kreth, the New York Press's new sex columnist, which is so very unfortunate for her.
