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.

The conditions were incredibly rare. There was literally no wind and the clouds and lighting couldn’t have been better. I took this at the break of dawn. It was a 5 sec exposure with LEE Filters Very-Hard Edge 1.2 GND (to balance the sky and water).
