Can you imagine waiting more than 40 years to get a photo just right? That's precisely what New York photographer Jay Fine did to capture the images below.
And Fine's teenage dream came true on the evening of Sept. 22, when he headed down to lower Manhattan's Battery Park, which has a nice view of the Statue of Liberty.
With his Nikon D300 and 60mm f2.8 lens in hand, the 58-year-old snapped more than 80 photos over two hours. He struck gold with the photo below around 8:45 p.m.
"I had been watching weather reports so I knew a storm was coming and it just seemed like a great opportunity," he told the U.K.'s Daily Mail. "It was pure luck really, a once in a lifetime opportunity."
