Caught in the Glow of the Setting Sun

Caught in the Glow of the Setting Sun

So I had the usual long exposure photo planned for today but I just walked in from shoveling a fresh 7″ of snow from the driveway and needed to see something much warmer and full of color and life.

This past weekend, a coronal mass ejection (CME) occurred on the sun that managed to hit the Earth just right and set off auroras close to home. I missed the Saturday spectacle as it took place at 5am and then decided to head out at sunset to catch the tail end of it. I got to Chandler Hovey a bit early […]

Day 3 – A Long Exposure Sunset After the Storm

Day 3 – A Long Exposure Sunset After the Storm

Continuing with this week’s theme of showing images from each of the 5 days of our recent Spring storm, here is the one from Friday, March 8th. If you haven’t blocked out all memories of this storm, Friday was a whopper. We started the day with about 8 inches of snow on the ground. What was supposed to let up by noon ended up adding another 8 inches throughout the day. School was cancelled and roads were a mess.

I was at work but got out a bit early and had the forethought to bring my camera gear with me. […]

Sunset After Storm – Light Erupts Over the Harbor

Sunset After Storm – Light Erupts Over the Harbor

I don’t know about you but I sure am glad that the storm is passed. That was a messy, angry, incredibly powerful storm that hunkered down off the coast and sent wave after wave and snowflake after snowflake at us. At last count, Marblehead easily hit 16+ inches and it felt like a bigger storm in the end than the ‘Blizzard of 2013′ (aka Nemo).

As with all storms though, there is the promise of a great sunset when the last flakes have fallen and the clouds start to break. With that in mind, I set out after work to […]

Long Exposure – Sun Rays over Marblehead Harbor

Long Exposure – Sun Rays over Marblehead Harbor

Today’s long exposure image was taken back in April 2012. The Spring is a great time to photograph the harbor as clouds are not an uncommon site and the waters remain free of boats allowing for longer exposures. With a full harbor, the odds of keeping boats sharp with exposures stretching to seconds and minutes become very small. On this day, I only needed to contend with one boat and tried to time this 5 second exposure when the winds calmed and the harbor was relatively still. The sun rays were the clear focal point of the image and […]
