Although I was not here in the US when September 11 attacks happened, it gives me all kinds of feelings when I go out and take this Tribute in Light photos every year. Unlike any other NYC skyline photos, you have only 1 day, 1 chance in the whole year to take photos of this amazing view. If you can`t go out and take photos on September 11, you have to wait a whole year.
There are some challenges when you take skyline photos at night. You can`t take photos too late in the night because you will need to use a longer shutter speed and if you have strong wind that will mess up your sharpness. If you`re taking NYC skyline photos by the water, you will always have wind. Also the later you take photos the longer shutter speed you will need to catch the details in the buildings which will make city light lights too right. I normally prefer night skyline photos in an hour or two starting from sunset when you can catch enough details and proper light. Also, the sky presents a way better view after sunset compared to the black sky of the night.
