Marblehead Harbor Under a Dramatic Sky at Sunset

Marblehead Harbor Under a Dramatic Sky at Sunset

As I mentioned in Monday’s post, I had been feeling the urge to go out and shoot a landscape image on Saturday when I looked out the window and saw these great clouds forming at 7pm. With the taciturn approval of my wife, I grabbed my gear and ran out of the house.

My first stop was one of my favorite public ways – Parker Avenue. I have shot a number of sunset images from the top of the stair leading to Marblehead harbor below and am pleasantly surprised with each outing here being different than the last.

On this day, […]

Abbot Hall Tower Illuminated in the Fog

Abbot Hall Tower Illuminated in the Fog

On Monday, May 6th, I arrived home and noted that fog was starting to roll in. I decided to grab the kids and my camera and head out in hopes of capturing the unique beauty of foggy scenes. We started off on Parker Lane – me with my camera, they with an old dSLR. The fog would thicken to the point of hiding the distant mainland and the sun at times and then quickly dissipate revealing the shores again.

However, I was able to capture a number of images in the blue hour that I’ve shared previously and this one which has been sitting in the queue for a while.

I’ve shared similar compositions to this on prior images. The three stately homes that reside on Cliff Street make for an awesome subject – especially when you reach that point along […]

Long Exposure – Towering Facade of Abbot Hall

Long Exposure – Towering Facade of Abbot Hall

This past Saturday, the conditions were perfect during the day for a long exposure – deep blue skies, fluffy white clouds interspersed and wind to move everything above. When I headed out to gather signatures on Atlantic Avenue (see yesterday’s post for info on that), I also made sure to pack up the camera bag and tripod. Immediately after finishing, I headed to Abbot Hall and walked around the building looking for a new vantage point from which to shoot. A number of ideas wouldn’t work due to the wind gusts but I finally found myself at this spot […]
