I’ve been to the Newport Back Bay many times over the past few years and on many of those occasions, I was greeted by a beautiful sunset. So when I found myself with some time last weekend, I headed to the Back Bay to capture a few long exposure images. Having arrived an hour before sunset, I wandered around a bit until I found a good place to set up my camera and tripod. As I watched the sun slowly move towards the horizon, I considered leaving and finding a better location to shoot. I thought better of it however, and decided to sit tight and simply enjoy the view. Well, it turns out my decision to wait was a good one as I was rewarded with yet another beautiful Back Bay sunset. This image is my favorite and the one I feel best illustrates the scene I watched unfold this past Sunday evening.
