I hope no one is tired of images taken on Tuesday, June 9th yet.  I’ve shared six images from this one outing so far and all have differed by the quality of light, the composition or location.

Shortly after I arrived at Chandler Hovey Park, I spotted a rainbow positioned southeast of the lighthouse.  The location made compositions tricky even with my widest angle lens.  I took a few photos from the edge of the park where the rocks form a cliff-like structure leading into the waters of Marblehead Harbor.  From there, I quickly explored other spots near the waters edge.

For this image, I made my way onto the small outcropping between the lighthouse and sheltered benches.  I stood as close to the edge of the rocks as I dared and still found myself too close to the lighthouse.  I decided that I would shoot a vertical panorama to try to maximize the field of view and took advantage of the wide angle lens to create an immersive image.

It took 8 photos to put this panorama together but I couldn’t be happier with the results.  It ended up as one of the more unique compositions that I’ve found for this oft-photographed spot and you can just make out the rainbow behind Marblehead Light.  Couldn’t help myself with the title – On the Rocks at Chandler Hovey Park.
