Security Camera and John Hancock Tower Boston Massachusetts

I previously posted a colored version of this same angle but a different long exposure. I figured it was worth going back and doing one silver and black from the rest of the lot. I went back and forth with this one and another exposure. At the end of the day this one was more striking, so I went with it. This is Boston’s best skyscraper in my opinion, we could use a couple more like it.
