NH Bus/”bomb” Drama Ends: Photography in the Dark.

A very long standoff that purportedly involved hostages and explosives, ended last night. I arrived in Portsmouth at approximately 1pm and saw this to fruition. The grand finale photos, if you will, were the first photos that I can ever remember where I did not see the subject for the majority of time. For all you photography fanatics out there, my setting on this surrender photo was: “Film Speed” 3200asa, Shutter Speed 1/20th of a second at F5.6 aperture with a Canon 800mm 5.6 on a tripod. The light that is shining on the suspect is from police and street lights. A Boston Herald photo gallery is seen here.

Back Bay Invaded By Flying Machines. With Photos.

Marine Week Boston flew into town this morning, and in a very picturesque way. Helicopters and an Osprey Tilt-Rotor craft landed on Boston Common. I happened to have the day off but wanted to snap some photos anyway, so I grabbed my 800mm telephoto lens and drove to Memorial Drive in Cambridge. I figured this would be a unique view.  The first helicopter had a pilot with an estute sense of aesthetics as he flew right alongside the Prudential Center. Here are my photos of the very pleasant Marine “invasion”. As always, click on photos to make them bigger.
