Long Exposure – Turquoise Atlantic and Boston Skyline

Long Exposure – Turquoise Atlantic and Boston Skyline

Yesterday, I shared an image taken from Ocean Avenue with turquoise waters, great big clouds and the Boston skyline in the distance. This image was taken exactly 10 minutes later. On top of the circular polarizer, I decided to add on two more neutral density filters to cut down the amount of light by more than 99.9%. That meant I went from a shutter speed of 1/250th of a second with yesterday’s image to 357 seconds with this one!

I don’t think I have ever shared a side-by-side of a ‘normal’ and long exposure and this is easily one of […]

I had a location in mind for a long exposure shot for some time and decided to head there in hopes that the light would work.

Cold Dawn over Marblehead Neck

cold dawn light

Yesterday, January 23rd, was slated to be our first near-zero degree day in a while. With the recent moderate weather and ocean temps in the 40′s, I figured I had a good shot at capturing some sea smoke. With that in mind, I woke up early on Wednesday and drove to a few spots. Unfortunately, Redd’s Pond and Little Harbor didn’t have anything in the way of smoke. I crossed my fingers and made my way to Front Street hoping for better luck. For whatever reason, the water […]
