Bunker Hill Bridge

Photoblog: 01 Dec 2007

The Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Bridge was constructed as part of the "Big Dig" in 2003 and carries I-93 and Route 1 over the Charles River between Boston and Charlestown/Cambridge Mass.

Taken in late June 2006, when the East Coast was flooded and Boston was perpetually shrouded in mist. Desaturated and fiddled with contrast.

I feel an 1812 moment coming on. Initially I reduced the levels on the buildings to completely silhouette them, but I then decided to layer mask the clock faces back in. Not sure whether it's better with or without them...

Bit of a cliche shot, really. And yet I still managed to balls it up a little. I do try to compose these things properly, but I have a habit of paying loads of attention to getting one set of features arranged perfectly, while completely missing more obvious needs -- like the fact that the bridge pier isn't lined up with the cathedral. And I always notice what went wrong instantly when I bring it up on the computer, by which time it's too late to fix. I should have just fired off a hundred or so shots from slightly different positions :/
