Boston Skyline at Night

Today I’m wrapping up my New England series for the week. The above image is the Boston skyline of the financial district. I had walked the city during the early evening and made my way across the Northern Avenue Bridge towards the courthouse. A friend had recommended this viewpoint for shooting the skyline at dusk. Luck was with me that night as I had wonderful clouds in the sky. Sometimes Mother Nature plays along. Side note: one tip I was taught a long time ago when shooting night city-scapes is to shoot them at dusk. If you wait until night you get little to no contrast with the buildings.
My only regrets were that I didn’t have a wider zoom and was not familiar with HDR photography at the time. This is a single image exposure shot on a tripod processed in Lightroom. Still the Boston skyline shows up quite nice.
The brightly lit archway I believe is a part of the Rowes Wharf if memory serves. Perhaps one of my fellow New England togs can verify this?
That wraps up Bean Town for the week. I hope everyone has a great weekend!
Until next time…
Sweet skyline Chris!
Great sky, nice job Chris!
Love those reflections!
Beauty night shot Chris!
that is sweet, well done!
What an awesome cityscape chris..well done!
Great night shot. I haven’t tried Phoenix Downtown, but I wonder if it will look like this one.
I like the composition and the reflection on the water.
Beautiful skyline in this great shot, Chris!
Night shots have a certain magic about them.
Awesome shot Chris! I love everything about this one!
Dynamic shot Chris! Love how the midnight blue walk-way leads your eye right to the brilliantly lit skyscrappers and arch. That moody sky is the perfect backdrop.
Being a resident of a suburb outside the city and having seen thousands of Boston skyline shots – I have to say you’ve really captured an amazing perspective and a nicely done night shot. Bravo!
