Red Line Train on the Longfellow Bridge at Sunset

Red Line Train on the Longfellow Bridge at Sunset, originally uploaded by briburt.

A Red Line MBTA train reflects the sunset as it crosses the Longfellow Bridge from Boston into Cambridge.

This was merged together as a panorama in Photoshop from 5 different overlapping portrait exposures. I’m completely astounded at the fantastic job Photoshop does of blending together the different shots.

I was inspired to do the panorama (and to process it like this) after a day well-spent in the Scott Kelby Photoshop workshop over at the Convention & Exhibition center. He is the Photoshop ninja-master, and I bow down to both the truly awesome things he can do in Photoshop and to his gift for presenting these complex techniques in a humorous and clear manner. I highly recommend you attend one of his Photoshop or Lightroom seminars, or at least purchase one of his many great Photoshop, Lightroom, and digital photography books. My hat’s off to you, Scott, and thanks!

    Beautiful pano Brian, I love the light and the way it is reflecting off the train and the buildings. I know what you mean about the workshop, I wish I could have gone. Took the one last year with a different “guru” and it was awesome, came away with such great ideas, but seeing it with “the man” must have been incredible.
