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 took this a little after sunrise, the conditions were really interesting. There were a lot of low flying clouds really cruising that were very fog like. I figured I would do the dragon boats for the first time this season because of the angle and the river was pretty calm between wind gusts. So after many attempts, this was the best I could do to get still boats for this exposure length.
