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.

Boston Skyline Sunrise over Charles River and Snow Covered Boats from Cambridge Massachusetts USA

One thing I love about photographing Boston is that all the usual spots present unique opportunities as the seasons change. This image is a great example, with a warmup in winter the Charles River was all water and no ice. But, there was still snow encrusted boats at the MIT Sailing Pavilion. An incredibly unique combination that I took advantage of with great sunrise light. I only had one chance at this 7 min exposure with the following optical filters controlling light entering the lens.
