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.

It was looking hazy and colorful at sunrise and was completely calm, so I went back to the dragon boats to take advantage of the still water. I had been waiting for conditions like this to take another exposure from this angle, so I figured it wouldn’t hurt to take a few. Took a different approach on this one, learning from past experiences.
