We'll take the *11am ferry (free!) from the Battery Maritime Building in Manhattan to Governors Island. There are jaw-dropping views of Lower Manhattan both while on the ferry and along the north and and west sides of the Island. You don't even need a fancy lens... the first two photos above were taken with an 18-55mm "kit" lens on an entry-level DSLR.

Besides Gotham to the north, there are lots of other things to shoot on the Island, including Fort Jay, the island's Revolutionary War fort.

For those of you who came to our Governors Island photo meetup last year, note that there's an amazing new feature (https://govisland.com/hills) since we last visited!

The official end time of our photowalk on the Island is 12:30pm, but of course, feel free to stay as long as you like.

• we'll meet up at 10:30am in order to get ourselves assembled and queue up for the 11am ferry. A photo showing where we'll meet up is here, in our Files section (http://files.meetup.com/19200792/Meet%20Here%20Peter%20Minuit%20Plaza%20Governors%20Island.jpg). Note that we're meeting up closer to the Staten Island Ferry Terminal; then we'll walk the very short distance to the Battery Marine Terminal together.
