Boston

Boston, the capital city of Massachusetts, is a vibrant and historic destination that offers a plethora of photography opportunities. From the iconic cobblestone streets of Beacon Hill to the stunning skyline views from the Charles River Esplanade, Boston is a photographer's paradise. The city is home to numerous landmarks, including the Freedom Trail, the USS Constitution Museum, and the Boston Public Library, all of which provide excellent backdrops for capturing stunning images. Additionally, Boston's vibrant neighborhoods, such as the North End and Back Bay, offer unique and colorful settings for street photography.

Arnold Arboretum
by Sandeep Thomas
  • Ralph Waldo Emerson.

I was at the Arnold Arboretum last week thinking of getting some macro shots. Unfortunately the sigma 70-300mm Macro was a bitter disappointment as its pretty useless unless its bright sunlight. So I switched to my Nikkor 50mm f1.8 for my macros. The park was really crowded but for some reason no one was sitting here and the tree looked really interesting. I hanged around for sometime to see if someone would sit here just to get another perspective, Its really interesting how this one turned out .

Settings: F/8, 1/60 Sec, WB: Auto, ISO: 800, Exp Comp: 0.0

Boston - Trinity Church
by Sandeep Thomas

I was walking around Back Bay this memorial day weekend and noticed this unusual reflection of the Boston's office buildings on the ultra-modern John Hancock Tower. i love how these huge buildings were towering over the two American flags!!

First Church of Christ Scientist
by Sandeep Thomas
  • Robert A. Heinlein. The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts. This was my final destination yesterday and I was planning on getting a good reflection of it on the pool but the windy night ensured that there was no chance of that. As I was setting up the tripod and taking this shot there was a group of college kids arguing about whether Scientology is a religion or a cult. hats the reason why I thought of the title. They must be spending a fortune but the building was stunningly lit up at night. A word of advice though it seems as if they switch the lights off by around 11 PM.

Ever since I moved to Boston I was obsessed with this statue of George Washington located in the Boston Public Garden. I have take about 100 shots of the statue and these three are the perspectives which I like the most. Hopefully u guys will enjoy these shots as much as I do......

P.S. the hazy brown color at the lower horizon is the smoke from Canadian Wildfires that engulfed Boston and most of northern New England this Memorial day weekend.
