The most beautiful thing I discovered with photography is that it causes side effects. Since I am on the lookout for photo opportunities, I seem to see more. This picture is a recurring theme on this photoblog - Boston’s Back Bay as seen from Cambridge across the Charles River. I still amazes me that it never really looks the same! it is also my first try to make a panorama, using Hugin.
I am experimenting a bit with converting my photos to black and white lately and chose this one for the nice contrast. However, I am still at odds with the dynamic range of my camera. If you look close, you will notice that some of the highlights are blown out, something that is much more severe in digital photography compared to film. Makes me wonder if I should try shooting a few rolls of b&w film.
The John Hancock Tower in Boston with its blueish tinted glass windows - giving only little contrast to the sky on a bright early spring day.
Probably my favorite night photo theme. Not that making a photo of Boston from this perspective would be very original (there are plenty of them, even one more right here). I like it because the night sky is constantly changing and never looks the same. On the night I took this photo, the weather report said something about snow. In reality, however, only a thin layer of clouds passed by, glowing red from the reflected city lights.
