Step up your sunset photography on this Boston skyline workshop!
East Boston, nicknamed “Eastie,” is a neighborhood in Boston that provides stunning views of the downtown skyline over Boston Harbor.
East Boston provides a few diverse views of the city, so we will meet at Piers Park Sailing Center and explore together before deciding where to settle in for sunset and the blue hour.
We will put emphasis on visualizing the image you wish you create and how best to set up to achieve your goal. Often, stunning sunset images are a composite of a series of photos taken from sunset through the blue hour from a single, fixed location.
Some great Eastie locations we have to choose from are Piers Park, LoPresti Park, Portside at East Pier, Carlton's Wharf, and other areas along the waterfront.
This workshop starts at 7:00 PM at Piers Park and runs until after the blue hour is over, roughly 20-40 minutes after sunset.
