Boston Skyline and Bridges

These are photos of the Boston skyline and surrounding bridges from a variety of vantage points including Cambridge, East Boston, South Boston, Chelsea, Everett, and Malden. I turned the ordinary into a dreamlike reality with very long exposures, using LEE Filters to control the light entering the lens.

Sunrise and Clouds over Charles River, Boston Skyline, and Charles River Yacht Club - Cambridge MA USA

Forecast looked decent for a calm sunrise with clouds this morning so I bit the bullet and got up at 4 am. That’s one thing that’s brutal about sunrise come summer time. I stayed patient and got this one frame where the sun peaked through the clouds and gold light hit the frame.
