Backwoods of Cambridge, MA

After picking up the lens and filters I went and got the pictures of the boats on the Charles, I ended up waiting around for a bit in the back streets of Cambridge, MA. Here are some of the shots from the excursion.

Boats on the Charles River

After having had my camera for a day I realized I wanted a little more in the way of lenses and such, and I went to Calumet Photo in Cambridge, MA. After getting the new toy I had to try out my new lens and camera combination.

This is an MIT Building, but I don't recall the name. It is pretty irrelevant, but it shows some of what the new lens can do. First shot is @ 70mm and the next shot is ~ 210mm

And now what I really stopped to get photos of, the boat race on the Charles. I did not actually know that this was going on, but hey thats what spontenaety is about.

New Camera @ Night

So the day I get my new camera I of course need to go out and use it. Below are a couple of shots of Harvard Square late at night.

And getting back home I took some more photos of Arlington.

Shadows

Commuting to work on a bike gives you time to think, and lets your mind wander as you go. Biking along I noticed this very regular pattern of leaves, and my shadow which got me thinking about the shadow that we all cast on the earth...

Fading summer light

It is not really summer anymore, and the days have been getting shorter. This is the view from work looking west as the daylight fades.

Leechee Fruit

Biking in to work I took a diffrent route around the building, and came across a leechee tree with fruit.

Part of the road

So biking along the road via a diffrent route I have come across this sight a few times.



Looking more closely at the bottom left of the frame, shows a shoe. It has pretty much become part of the road. It reminds me of a commercial from a tire company that shows a person's foot becoming a tire. I guess this is the next step to that.
