Newark is too far inland, and too far North. Probably around Bayone. The best thing to do is get a map and draw a line through the Statue of Liberty and extending from an accesable point in NJ to Manhattan. A few things to keep in mind: - The statue faces into the bay (southeast) so you will have to be of it south to get a side view. - Best light will be very early morning so the stature is front lit with the skyscrapers side lit with warm light. - You will be miles from Manhattan and pretty far from the statue so you will need a clear, dry (low humidity) day, a long lens and a solid tripod.
For a simpler, "postcard" shot, take a "Circle Line" cruise ship around Manhattan. A nice sunny day, some white puffy clouds, 100mm lens, fine grained film and you've got it made. From: Tiger Moses <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Guys, where do I need to go to get a view of Lady Liberty with a nice view of NYC behind her, you know the classic image. Do I need to be in Newark or what?
