Manhattan - Reflections on the Peak

Caught at the Top
The past few years developers raced to complete buildings prior to the crash.  This narrow residential tower on 23rd Street wasn't so lucky.  I thought they might make it, but the developer went bankrupt just as the building was nearing completion.  The building sits empty and dark, which is nice if you want to photograph reflections of the Met Life building.  I've learned that I probably need a tripod for night photography.  In order to allow in sufficient light, you use a very slow shutter speed and if you make the slightest movement you end up with a blurred photo.  I'd like to try this shot with a tripod to see the difference.
