Photographing Boston is always rewarding and Memorial Drive
in Cambridge provides some of the best Boston city views and photography
locations. During my last photo adventure
I set up near the luxury Sonesta Hotel at sunset and photographed the iconic
Back Bay skyline with its famous landmarks well into the night. Night of Light
was taken shortly after the last sunlight had disappeared below the horizon.
The historic Prudential Center with the Back Bay brownstone houses were
illuminated in beautiful orange hues. The long exposure time captured the MBTA Boston Red
Line subway train as a beautiful light beam in red and white while crossing the
Longfellow Bridge. The historic bridge spans the Charles River connecting
Boston to Cambridge and Somerville and always makes for an interesting
foreground feature.
During post processing of "Night of Light" I removed dust spots,
minimally adjusted lighting, contrast and color saturation before sharpening
the final image in Photoshop. Apertures in this Boston long exposure
photography image was f/11, providing a 10 second shutter speed at ISO200.
