Ghost Train on the Longfellow Bridge
Ghost Train on the Longfellow Bridge, originally uploaded by briburt. This was made on an evening that was supposed to be a photowalk in Boston for the Boston Photo Peeps group on Meetup.com, but the meetup was canceled at the last minute because of adverse weather, which was quite disappointing to me. (How often does [...]
Back Harbor Reflections
Back Harbor Reflections, originally uploaded by briburt. Earlier in the summer, I took a long bike ride starting in Beverly, Massachusetts, up through Gloucester, around Cape Ann and then back through Essex (where I had a bowl of fabulous clam chowder at one of the roadside clam shacks), and then on to Ipswich, where I [...]
Summer’s Day on Cape Cod
Summer’s Day on Cape Cod, originally uploaded by briburt (Brian Burt Photo). OK. I was up before dawn this morning, photographing the sunrise, and it was 10 degrees Fahrenheit. So what did I do when I got home? Started processing photos of Cape Cod from last summer. Makes sense, I suppose. This is one of [...]

I took this shot on the banks of the Charles River on the Boston side while heading toward the Charles River Esplanade for some night shots.

The First Church of Christ, Scientist at Night, Boston
Christian Science Church at Night, Boston, originally uploaded by briburt. This is a panoramic, wide angle shot of Boston’s Christian Science Church at night. I made this photo by stitching together two wide angle shots in Photoshop, blending them together, and then processing as black & white in Adobe Lightroom. Had a lot of trouble [...]
Approaching Storm
Approaching Storm, originally uploaded by briburt. This is a shot I got while wandering around the harbor on Lake Champlain in Burlington, Vermont, when we were on vacation there last week. A storm front was moving in fast, and I was afraid that we were going to get rained on, but as it turns out, [...]

Here’s a black and white shot of the Boston Financial District skyline under night skies taken from the Boston Harborwalk next to the Moakley Courthouse.
