Those pictures are HDR, or High Dynamic Range photography. It's not a filter, per se, but taking multiple pictures of same subject at different shutter speeds, then combining the photos together digitally to produce a dynamic range far greater than a normal camera sensor (or film stock) can handle. The net effect is detail in shadows and highlights that normally wouldn't be visible, along with very deep, rich, saturated colors. These particular pictures were taken at the optimal time of day for this kind of photography (usually right around sunup or sunset), and span a pretty wide range of shutter speeds, giving them a rather surreal, dreamlike quality.

In short, this photographer really knows what he's doing. And we all benefit.

What's the name of that lighthouse in that above picture? I never realized there were little lighthouses like that out there. Very cool looking.

In size, it's the '55 Water Street' of the Hudson. Truly a massive tower.

That last pic is amazing! It captures the density of Downtown perfectly, and it'll only look better in years to come.

^ That one shows how the skyline has sort of leveled off in recent years.
