Moving from Maine to Boston is always jarring. You trade the noise of crickets for the noise of airplanes. The smell of seaweed for the smell of traffic. YUK! But Boston is a such beautiful city. I can shoot both sunrise and sunset in several locations with water in the foreground. Boats and skylines and reflections. Boston Harbor. The Charles River. Such a gorgeous city.
I've been shooting sunrise and sunset for the last week. At this time of the year, that's a little tough, so I spend the middle of the day on the computer and schedule a nap each afternoon. Mid-day light usually doesn't work in the city, because the tall buildings cast shadows that make too much contrast for traditional photography. Today I'll make an exception. Redcoats and militiamen will invade Boston, with fife-and-drummers wandering the streets. Who could resist?
Wonderful photos, as usual, Susan. You must really know the ins and outs of the city to shoot it like you do.
ReplyDeleteI think a mid-day nap is always a good thing ; )
Happy 4th of July!
