Long Exposures & The Super Moon

Over the past few weeks, I've been trying out several new filters and  techniques in an attempt to capture more interesting perspectives. So, I spent this weekend snapping away where I could. Here's the first of what will surely be a series of long-exposure daytime shots... and of course, several superfluous pics of the 'super moon' that was all the rage this Saturday.

Sunrise on the Charles

Got up extra early at the completely unnecessary hour of 5AM to make my way over to the Cambridge side of the Charles River. Bought a couple of new camera filters this week and wanted to give them a  try. These were taken near the Cambridge Hyatt right over the BU bridge.

Mass Pike Overpass

A small footbridge over the Mass Pike in Brighton has clearly been a popular spot for other photographers. The chain link fence is cut open with just enough space for a camera lens and provides a great view.

Scenes From The Boston Marathon

Scenes from the 116th running of the Boston Marathon in the Brookline area - April 16, 2012.

Urban Angles

Some alleyway / urban /  industrial areas can provide some very interesting lesser-seen angles of the city. These are just a few selections in and around Boston that are right off the main streets and sidewalks.

Coolidge Corner at Dusk

Sometimes just walking around town, you can catch the light at the right moment. Had a few minutes of great reflections and shadow angles in Coolidge Corner as I was passing through.
