Bolyston and Tremont St

I just returned from Boston a few days ago, where I was attending a two week debate camp at Emerson College. I had a great view from my window, as you can see below.

For the above shot I used a small tripod I had brought with me. It took a bit of fiddling around to get the right angle and everything from the corner of the window (luckily they had very large ledges on the inside), but I liked the results. 4 second exposure, 80 ISO, f/3.2, 7.1mm on manual, check the EXIF for more detailed settings. All of these were shot with a my dad's Canon Powershot SD750 since I didn't want to lug along my D60.

The exposure on the above two shots was a bit tricky since the side of the buildings that face my window was not directly exposed to the sun (I wonder why I didn't try some evening shots). So, I did two different shots: one where the sky is more vivid and the buildings a little darker and one where the buildings are brighter.

It rained and they happened to clean my window on the last day, which make for a clear and interesting shot. I picked this over some of the other since it has the state house in it. 2 second exposure, 80 ISO, f/2.8, 5.8mm (EXIF)
