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.

I posted an exposure from this session in color a time back, and today I went back and chose a separate exposure that fit perfectly for black and white. That’s the beautiful thing about daytime long exposures, if you take a handful of exposures, chances are there is a perfect frame for color and a perfect frame for black and white.
