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.

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

The morning I took this wasn’t suppose to be so windy, but I was in deep after showing up to this spot at 3:50 and getting rained out. It was forecasted only a very small chance of scattered showers like 15-20%, that turned into thunderstorms and torrential downpour. So wind or not, since I had already tanked my morning, I went back just after the rain stopped and the storm started to clear (about 30 mins after sunrise). The wind kept gusting on me mid exposure, this one had the clearest boats of the batch.
