Boston Skyline and Two Bridges
Another shot of the Boston skyline taken from the Moakley Bridge (which is the bridge with the blue lights on the left) over the Fort Point Channel. I was standing on one of the small viewing platforms they’ve built for pedestrians right over the water.
That’s the Northern Avenue bridge on the right, and the two tallest buildings are One International Place and Two International Place.
I wasn’t quite sure how this one would turn out, as the lighting was very strange with the strong blue floodlights on the Moakley Bridge sort of overpowering everything else in the scene. So I underexposed the frame slightly in the camera. Then, after I brought it into Lightroom, I brightened up some of the underexposed areas, put in some fill light for the foreground, and dialed back the saturation levels of the blue lights on the bridge, and I’m fairly happy with how the exposure turned out overall. I think it really gives you a pretty strong sense of what it’s like to see this skyline from this vantage point — sort of like standing inside a jewel box of city lights.
