Cliff Street Houses and Abbot Hall at Sunrise

Can you believe this was the scene that I woke to on May 6, 2012?  I had gotten up early that day hoping to catch the moonset but the clouds at the horizon made that a wasted effort.  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 […]

Sunrise Over the Houses of Little Harbor

After photographing dawn from Hammond Park last Wednesday, I decided to drive out to Doaks Lane and shoot Gerry Island as well as the houses that line Little Harbor.  If you have followed this site for a while, you will likely recognize this composition.  I have shared some long exposures taken at sunset from this vantage point but never thought to photograph at sunrise.  It turns out that the sun was coming up at just the right angle to bathe these houses in great light.  The image needed amazingly little work at the computer apart from removing one wayward […]

Day 5 – Lakefront Houses at Goldthwait Reservation

So this is really another shot from Saturday or ‘Day 4′ but you’ll have to forgive the creative license.  Fridays tend to be the place for Experimental posts and this one seemed odd enough to fit the bill.  As I mentioned yesterday, I hadn’t expected to shoot on Saturday as the storm had left and blue skies had replaced it.  After a heads up text from a friend, I was out at high tide shooting waves and then headed towards Devereux Beach.  As Ocean Avenue had been closed due to the waves, I ended up at Goldthwait Reservation.

As I […]

Snow Capped Houses and Abbot Hall

Back to the Blizzard of 2013 for this image of Abbot Hall taken from Crocker Park.  I love this view of Abbot Hall and have shot from this spot on a number of occasions and in various conditions.  When I was trudging through the almost two feet of snow that fell during the Blizzard of 2013, I knew that I would have to make it over to Crocker Park for a snowy version of this composition.  While the walk was brutal at times, the view did not disappoint with snow capped houses seemingly stacked on each other and leading […]
