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.

Stormy Sunrise over Charles River, Boston Skyline, and Charles River Yacht Club - Cambridge MA USA

This is a slightly different angle than I have done before at this location, the yacht club facing downtown with both the Prudential and Hancock. The clouds were looking really good but as sunrise approached it clouded over. I was really hoping for more definition, but the water was pretty calm so I rolled with it. Not my favorite angle but it turned out “aight.”
