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.

Can't believe I never got this angle before, so I rocked it the other morning when the wind was super calm and there were some clouds. It was an awkward angle, but I did the best I could to control the way elements broke on the edges of the composition, also managing distortion. Went with a shorter shutter on this one to sharpen the boats. This is my new practice when boats are the subject.
