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 Harbor Slack Water Sunset with Decayed Pilings at Carlton’s Wharf East Boston

I have been waiting for conditions like this to get this image for quite some time. The tide was about to reverse and there was no wind, so it was dead calm. Didn’t have to worry about wobbly pilings. Single exposure with only some white balance correction and minor tweaks.
