Why do we love the sea? It is because it has some potent power to make us think things we like to think. ~Robert Henri
Here’s another shot of the Charles River during another walk. Thank you all so much for your kind support!
Since 1987 the blandly named Riverfront Office Park at the also bland address of 1 Main Street in Cambridge's innovative Kendall Square has regaled passers-by with its uninspiringly bland but common 1980's style modernism. Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA.

In December, when there are not many boats on the Charles and it hasn't frozen yet, you can get nigths with great reflections like this. That is the Hancock Tower on the left and the Prudential Center on the right. This was taken from Memorial Drive in Cambridge.

I decided to take a walk in the fog yesterday morning on the Longfellow Bridge. I was so happy to see these swans!
Which group has those pink sails? I like to think they had us photographers in mind when they chose that color. View from Longfellow Bridge, shot with Sony a6000 and 18-135mm lens.
Long exposure vs regular exposure, with Sony RX100v. I'm starting to experiment with long exposures, and actually this little tiny camera is surprisingly good for them - apparently it has some kind of built-in internal ND filter, which lets you turn up the exposure time and it just sort of automatically prevents it from getting too bright. Also, since the camera is tiny it can be held up by a tiny lightweight tripod so I don't have to carry a big heavy one around. So I've found them easier to do with this camera than with my a6000, where I'd have to use an external ND filter and a larger tripod. Anyway, the long exposure smooths out the water to get a different look from a regular exposure with the ripples in the water. This one was a 5 second exposure (vs 1/30 seconds for the regular shot). I did use Lightroom to heal out a few blurry ducks that were in the foreground and had moved too much during those 5 seconds, and of course also for my regular post-processing.
