Boston’s BU Bridge over CSX Railroad Bridge with Cloudy Blue Sky, Cambridge Massachusetts

These train tracks are back in service, but cars rarely go through. The funny thing about this spot is the huge amount of white geese that hang out, and they are aggressive. Those bad boys are strong too, not to be taken lightly. Once I blended into the surroundings they calmed down a bit, but I’ll be honest they were making me a little nervous.

I wanted to keep the exposure relatively short to get some sharp blues. There are instances and certain types of clouds where a shorter exposure is actually better to get a more dynamic sky. Had this been 10 mins, likely the whole sky would have looked milk white. This was a 3 minute exposure at ISO 50 using the optical filters listed below.
