The City Works While the Sox Play *E#204 by Craig Stevens <castevens12>

The City Works While the Sox Play *E#204

I've always loved the way that Memorial Drive in Cambridge goes under the Longfellow Bridge. It's tough to get a good picture of it, though, because of the street lights along memorial drive (there's one just off frame to the right which ruins any shots to the right of where I'm standing). This picture looks a lot like the one two previous in my photostream, just from the opposite side of the Salt-and-Pepper Bridge. I like how in this shot, the lights of Fenway Park can been see illuminating the Fenway section of Boston.

This picture is made up of two single shot exposures: a +2EV for the city, and a -2EV for the road (the road in the +2EV shot was just pure white). This is, however, not an HDR. Only the road was removed from the -2EV shot.

Through the Sailboats *E#385 by Craig Stevens <castevens12>

Through the Sailboats *E#385

Another shot from my walk last night. I like the colors of the boats and the reflections in the water, but what I didn't like about this picture was that in order to line up the buildings to be between the sailboat masts, I was at a slight angle to the dock which creates the illusion that the dock is leaning to the right. If I were looking *straight* across the Charles River, the boats would have been far to my right (but the dock would have been straight :) )

Calm River on a Cool Night *E#149 by Craig Stevens <castevens12>

Calm River on a Cool Night *E#149

Tonight I went for a walk down the Charles River with my camera and tripod. I hit many of the places that I had hit back in February, only tonight it was 65 degrees (then it was a warm-for-February 40 or so). The Red Sox were playing at Fenway and you could hear the crowd every once in a while. Daisuke Matsuzaka in his return pitched over 8 scoreless innings en route to only his second victory of the year. About time, huh?

The Boston-side sidewalk on the Longfellow Bridge (Salt-And-Pepper Bridge) was open to pedestrians for the first time in a long time for me, so I was able to get a lot of the shots of the city I love to take, but haven't been able to for over a year.

Crazy Clouds *E#79 by Craig Stevens <castevens12>

Crazy Clouds *E#79

Hello everyone! I'm back from my vacation which I spent going to weddings in Virginia, Rhode Island, and spending the remaining time on Cape Cod. I watched Ted Kennedy's motorcade pass by on Route 3 from Hyannis en route to the JFK Library in Boston, and Karyn and I made unplanned stops on our trip to Williamsburg in Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. We visited friends in Baltimore, and I've had a great time over the last 4 weeks. But it's now time to put the seatbelt back on and settle back in to my place in Boston.

The clouds sure were crazy that day back in July. I have posted a couple of pictures I took on that evening already, and links (and thumbnails) are shown below in the comments field. I didn't really like the clouds at the time, but they sure made for some interesting shots.

While the timing of posting shot was not intended, I just realized that this shot was taken on Boston's "World Trade Center Avenue" next to the WTC's Boston location near the seaport in South Boston. Such a sad day in our nation's history, and we will always remember the thousands of heroes from that day.

Darkness Falls over a City *E#76 by Craig Stevens <castevens12>

Darkness Falls over a City *E#76

As the sun was down, and I was getting tired, I called it a night with a couple of shots from an abandoned dock near Maverick Station in East Boston, Massachusetts across the harbor from Downtown Boston. Again, with no clouds, this shot is not as interesting as it *could* have been, but it's still pretty interesting, I think.

I've just returned from a final exam and have another one tomorrow, so that's why I haven't been around much lately. Immediately after tomorrow's final, I'm heading down to Williamsburg Virginia with Karyn on a road trip to my good friend from high school's wedding.

As for finals, I found this past semester pretty simple, and I'm so glad it's almost over. Might be my first semester in college with straight A's. Unbelievable that my last year in the PharmD program might bring up my GPA!
