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.

Foggy Sunrise over Dragon Boats on Charles River with Boston Skyline, Back Bay, and Harvard Bridge - Cambridge, MA USA

I was commuting out of town in the morning and I saw this great fog rolling over the city, it quickly became a decision of what spot off memorial drive along the Charles have I photographed the least. Since it was relatively calm, and I wanted to waste no time, I went right for the dragon boats.
