Guardian Camera Club: Amythyst Lake on capturing movement

Wheels: A car speeding by a parked car on Revere Beach Parkway resulted in an abstract effect

Downtown Crossing: Thirteen inches of rain fell on Boston during March, which is easily an all time record. I took this one downtown at lunch time during (yet another) torrential downpour

Pond Closed: This is the Frog Pond on Boston Common (Boston Massachusetts). A month ago it was still open for ice skating (hence the sign). As I walked by, an impromptu soccer game was going on and this little girl was playing along with the big kids. While they were packing up to go, she continued to kick the ball around on her own and I took this shot

Blurred Vision: Revere Beach, just north of Boston on a stormy day. The waves are quite small by most standards, but they are big for us! I was trying to soften the image and get an effect akin to brush strokes by sweeping the camera across the scene
