Boston Skyline from the Charles

Boston Skyline on the Charles from Cambridge, MA

In December, my wife and I spent spent a lovely night in Boston, staying at the Hyatt in Cambridge, right on the Charles River. The major reason we chose the Hyatt was that I knew that it had this gorgeous view of the Boston Skyline. I shot it hundreds of times from late afternoon until late at night. This shot is one of my favorites.

Camera Data: Nikon D90, ISO 400, f16

May I use this image for a tag to honor Boston!

  Thanks for the kind comments, Rebecca. Exactly how did you wish to use this image? Not sure what you mean for “a tag.” Will it desplay my name remain in the lower right corner of the photo? Can you add that this photo is used with permission from Mitchell R. Grosky Photography? Can you use it in low resolution so that nobody can copy it, and make their own photos. This photo is probably my most popular photo (and most often purchased) of my more than 250,000 photos, so I hope you can understand my desire to protect my copyright. Thanks, Mitch

Ken,
I spend every Thursday on the Prudential plaza as a vendor at the Prudential Farmers market. I’m also a beading tapestry artist. Would you allow me to use this gorgeous Boston picture to transfer to a bead grid to bead a tapestry? Something about your picture just speaks to me. great job.

  Hi, Tom! I sent you an email over a week ago in which I mentioned that I needed information on whether you wanted a 5×7, 8×10, or 11×14………whether you wanted matted and UNFRAMED or matted and FRAMED………….whether you wanted it framed by me personally (bargain rates) or professionally framed? Please get back to me if you are still interested.

Yep off with the VR, excellent composition though!

No offense but this photo is very blurry. Maybe a decent tripod with a remote shutter release and it would be very sharp. What lens did you use?

  Hmmm……..blurry, huh? I did use a tripod, and a Nikkor 18-200 VR lens. Maybe I need to turn off the VR. I think that the actual print seems sharper. Thanks for your input. —Mitch
