You know it's cold when the Mystic River freezes over. It takes a few nights around zero for this to happen. I order to get the starburst effect on the sunset, you have to increase your F-stop to as high as it will go. Enjoy.
A gaggle of geese sleeping along the banks of the Mystic River in Medford, MA during the first snowstorm of 2014.
It's dropped about 20 degrees here in the last few days and I suspect that these flowers may have their last hurrah tonight. Enjoy.
I've never seen this before in the 14 years I've had my office here. The Fog just came up over the Mystic River quickly and as soon as it was there it left. I ran out to grab this shot of the Rt. 16 Bridge, which I do frequently, but this was pretty eerie stuff. Enjoy
This is one of those uniquely rare moments that the sun is low enough in the sky, that the reflection comes all the way under the Rt 16 bridge here in Medford, and illuminates the underside of the arch. Taken right outside my office on the patio. Mystic river reflection. Enjoy.
I went to the lake because it looked like a nice sunset, but the clouds
dissapated and my Canon 7D was freezing up on me :(, but I was able to
get a couple of sunset shots. Gotta get that thing serviced by Canon.
Upper Mystic Lake, Medford, MA Enjoy.
Just about to leave work and glanced out the
window, grabbed the old camera at work and shot this sunset through the
trees. Aren't Lightroom's sliders fun? Reduced clarity, increased
saturation and vibrance. 30 seconds, done. Loved the colors this way.
Enjoy.
I was looking for the full moon tonight but the clouds are messing up the deal.
This is pretty cool. I'm working with a company called Community
Connection, our local phone book company to provide cover photos for a
handful of their 2012 phone books around Massachusetts. It started out
with my town, Medford. It looks like I'll be doing other cities and
towns as well. This is my first one. - A photo of the Mystic River in
Medford Square. Enjoy.
As I was walking to work, I was struck by the trees and how they seem to
be changing colors in stages in front of the Medford Public Library. I
made it to work, grabbed my trusty 40D and walked back to snap a shot.
I had rained all night, the rain had stopped for a while and the clouds
gave me a huge soft box to shoot into. The colors really pop when it's
cloudy out. Hard to figure, but that's how it usually works. Enjoy.
