This is a view of downtown Boston taken from in front of the federal courthouse looking across the harbor. It’s a popular spot for photographing the city, but there are certainly ways to make it your own as I’ve tried here. I chose to get close to the chain with a tighter shot of the skyline, as opposed to backing up for a wider view. This is one of the great challenges in photographing landmarks or famous scenes – trying to get a shot that no one else has made, or at least one that you can call your own.


Beautifully exposed Steven. Love the light and the composition.
Really like the reflections of the lights in the water Steven – great image!
Great long exposure. Nice work!
Really beautiful shot Steven. The lights & reflections are outstanding.
Really nice shot man. I like how the foreground is included in this. Gives a sense of place that fits really well.
Nice shot. When I saw this it took me back a few years. I spent some time in Boston for work and have a nearly identical shot just like this.
Excellent shot, Steven. Great job processing this. I really like the colors and perspective.
Beautifully processed Steven. You’ve nailed this. Great photo!
