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.

Long Exposure Cloud Stretch at Sunrise over Boston Skyline and Charles River with Sailboats

Caught a killer sunrise Sunday morning on the Charles River from the Cambridge side. The direction the clouds were traveling was ideal for this particular vantage point and angle, with the boats at the MIT Sailing Pavilion making a great foreground subject. I was able to achieve supreme cloud stretch with a 400 sec exposure using the following neutral density filters to control light entering the lens:

LEE Filters “Big Stopper” 3.0ND (10-Stop) 100x100mm
LEE Filters Hard-Edge 0.9 GND (3-Stop) 100x150mm
