Hudson River Airport, originally uploaded by mudpig.

US Airways Flight 1549 after being raised from the Hudson River here in New York City, NY on Saturday. Shot from Jersey City, NJ. The plane is mostly intact from the crash and its trip downriver about a mile.

This was shot from my apartment which is about a mile from the airplane and approximately 330 feet up.

The plane (an Airbus A320) was moved this Sunday to a site in Bayonne, NJ.

About

This is my Blog for images of the many moments and vistas worth capturing. My name is Steve Kelley and I do photography as mudpig. I try to specialize in locations and subjects that are either over-looked or could use another viewpoint. My favorite model, Blizzard (a Komondor) enjoys the photo shoots and I enjoy them as well. HDR images I view as interesting or worth sharing are generally posted to the HDR Pool on flickr.

Currently I live in a hi-rise in Jersey City overlooking Manhattan which has afforded me a wonderful viewpoint of both Jersey City and New York City.

I really appreciate the comments and feedback.

I currently shoot with a Nikon D300 however most of my images prior to June 20th 2008 were shot with a Nikon Coolpix 8700.

I do not display the original size image on this site. If you have any questions or additional interest in any of the images please let me know at steve@yukonblizzard.com.
