A view of the Charles River and surrounding city of Boston taken from the top of the Prudential Building.
I hope everyone has a terrific weekend.
Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Bridge in Boston, MA. One of the widest cable-stayed bridges in the world.
I saw a pleasant sunset developing while I was driving around, so I headed to a favorite vista to snap some photos of Boston. That's Arlington and Cambridge in the foreground. This image is a 15-frame focus stack, blended with Helicon Focus.
A beautiful day near Downtown Boston. We were on our way to the "T" station to go and see the sights. If you have not yet done so, I recommend it. It is like walking through history instead of just reading about it.
6515 and three other six axles apply themselves to the slight grade at the East End of CP98 in Springfield Mass with a late M6.
M6 has pulled up onto the B&A around NH4 who was backing off onto the B&M to head south to New Haven .
Late afternoons in Springfield were always busy as the daily eastbound parade departed Selkirk in the late morning... early afternoon and the westbound parade left Beacon Park Worcester Framingham and Providence in time to mostly arrive in Springfield around the late afternoon as well..
Into the middle of all that..hot westbound BC1 left Beacon Park roughly the same time everyday and was likely to hit Springfield at roughly 430-5pm and well..... you didn't want to have explain why or how you'd somehow stuck THAT train...mobile 100 ( ECC)would be on the radio calling and you would know what came next ...

Special Thanks to Rob Pisani for rescuing this shot!
A carpet of bokeh, leading to a view of the Boston skyline.
Traffic snakes its way in and out of Boston, via the Tobin Bridge on Route 1.
My home away from home. Was in Boston for work and decided to stay the weekend. Great view of most of the iconic Boston buildings from Malone Park in Chelsea. You can even see TD Garden (go Celtics!).
Not from our walking tour of Boston, we actually got to drive to this spot.But it was a beautiful evening for photography. I took this 2 shot pan with my wife's camera, an inexpensive but easy to use Panasonic.
Scanned film print. Having a hard time remembering where this was taken, after all, it was the 80s! I think this is Boston, MA. Taken from the hotel room at sunrise after a Duran Duran show. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
Another shot taken in during my week-end in Boston while I was in NYC last summer. Unfortunately it was rainy on the first day. But as a consequence, the photos were more exciting to take... As usual for me.
Polaroidweek Day 4, Photo 2: Another bird shot during one of my visits to Boston earlier this year. This one was found in the Seaport neighborhood, which is unrecognizable from when I worked at my grandfather’s print shop in the nearby Fort Point area. Shot with a blue filter attached to a Polaroid I-2 camera.
Accelerating out of a 100mph speed restriction, a Boston bound ACELA was zipping through the MARC station at Halethorpe on a warm spring morning.
These sleek speedsters are nearing the end of their service lives as replacements are on the way.
Keolis train 919 runs west on the Dorchester Branch approaching Newmarket Station with F40PH-2C 1027 leading.
Perhaps Boston is more commonly referred to as "beantown," but visitors and locals alike will flock to this Chicago landmark to get a feel for the city. While it may be a tourist trap, it's one of my favorite locations in the city. Being lucky enough to sit here alone, as the city breathes around me, the city feels like my own, and the sparkling lights shine on.
Boston Harbor (the "Hahbah") at blue hour. Taken from the waterfront by Hyatt Harborfront near Logan airport. This was true lazyman's photography. I ate some dinner on their outdoor patio and watched the sunset progress and then sauntered over the water's edge to set up my camera, take some shots and then retire to bed! Never had an easier shoot than this. There was not a lot of sunset color so I waited until blue hour when the city lights were reflecting on the bay. I was really hoping for a supermoon rising over the city but the moon rose far over to the west.
This is my first post using the new Sigma 18-35 F1.8 "Art" lens. It is a lovely lens and beautifully engineered, but I've also found it difficult to adjust to. My trusty Pentax 12-24 has been my go-to wide angle lens and I find it really easy to shoot with. It's quite sharp, very forgiving of over-exposure, and focus is dead easy. The Sigma is unbelievably sharp when focused correctly, but it seems a bit harder to achieve that focus (and I will say this did not come out as sharp as it could have). It may be that some micro focus adjustment is needed. It's also less forgiving about over-exposure. But, I'm looking forward to learning how to use it over time as it just feels so good in the hand. I did not have a filter adapter to get my ND filter on this lens for a much longer exposure which would have added some more pop.
While the throngs of tourists were on the west side of View_Boston, I went to the eastern side to snap photos of the moon rising over the former Hancock building, with Back Bay and Beacon Hill to the left, and South Boston to the right.
