Oct 1 Some Fort Point late summer light

We have been walking a lot more during COVID, and then in Brittany this summer. We have decided to use our “foraging”, aka, food shopping, as a destination. Local stuff rather than insisting on the better markets in South End or other neighborhoods. This evening, a later September day, later in the day with a gorgeous low sun streaming through puffy clouds to create very dramatic skies and tons of low angle light and shadow during a recent walk through Fort Point Channel….to go to Trader Joe’s of all places….for coffee!

Junk and Propane

A perennial favorite of mine, it is a difficult one to shoot. This was a late September day when the light was glorious and the sky dramatic. This is a five shot AE bracket with 1-1/3 stop spacing merged in Lightroom, shot on my Fuji X-T4 with XF35mmF2.

Lamp posts and John Hancock Tower...er..200 Clarendon

Did this come though? The reflection and drama of the sky on the glass? The change line up of the street lamp posts and the tower?

Fort Point Channel, late September

I love the light, the multiple shot bracket really helps get the range of light and color as opposed to a single shot….More like my eye saw the scene than what the camera actually sees. This is a five shot AE bracket with 1-1/3 stop spacing merged in Lightroom, shot on my Fuji X-T4 with XF35mmF2.

World Shaving, Gillette factory, Fort Point Channel

I liked the sheen and glimmer of the letters in the late day autumn light. And the Skys and the brick warmed up by the low angle sun. This was enhanced a bit (letters only) to make that shimmer pop.. This is a five shot AE bracket with 1-1/3 stop spacing merged in Lightroom, shot on my Fuji X-T4 with XF35mmF2.

Gillette silos, Fort Point Channel

Because I tarried and took an early shot, I missed the head on shot (this one) in the glorious low angle sun breaking through the late September clouds. I caught that light in the oblique view but missed it by literally a minute running to shoot this head on….I want to do a golden hour to evening shoot at the plant with tripods sometime soon with the great winter light. Some burnishing of the silos in post processing. This is a five shot AE bracket with 1-1/3 stop spacing merged in Lightroom, shot on my Fuji X-T4 with XF35mmF2.

Gillete silos, oblique, fading sun

Second shot taken when the sun peeked through the clouds again….. This is a five shot AE bracket with 1-1/3 stop spacing merged in Lightroom, shot on my Fuji X-T4 with XF35mmF2.

Mass DOT Vent Building on the Fort Point Channel

Not as successful as I wanted, framing the vent building (I have been in there, we worked on it in 2019) with the reflection and the buoys. Masking to bring the sky down to acceptable levels. This is a five shot AE bracket with 1-1/3 stop spacing merged in Lightroom, shot on my Fuji X-T4 with XF35mmF2.

Blue hour, September, Summer St.

A single shot blue hour…..from the middle of the street between stop lights…..not as focussed as it should be and the ISO is grainy……..I had to stop in the middle of the street and block turning traffic….X-T4 with the XF35mmF2
