The Ocean Beckons at Devereux Beach

The Ocean Beckons at Devereux Beach

This image comes from the storm that came to shore on March 7th and didn’t leave us until the 9th. The Nor’Easter had incredible power and displayed it with waves that easily crashed over the causeway. I went out as much as I could and tried to capture the incredible scenes of nature’s power.

By March 9th, the storm had finally pushed away from shore but its tail end continue to send wave after wave crashing to shore. I had hoped to make my way to Devereux beach to capture the waves but Ocean Avenue had been closed due to the dangers of crossing […]

Dramatic Sky from Castle Rock

Dramatic Sky from Castle Rock

As I continue to share images captured on a recent Wednesday in Marblehead, we reach Castle Rock.

I arrived at Castle Rock and proceeded to climb to a good vantage point from which to photograph the private beach that these homes on the Neck are privy to.

Long Exposure – Turquoise Atlantic and Boston Skyline

That meant I went from a shutter speed of 1/250th of a second with yesterday’s image to 357 seconds with this one!

I don’t think I have ever shared a side-by-side of a ‘normal’ and long exposure and this is easily one of […]

Wednesday in Marblehead – Turquoise Water off Ocean Avenue

Wednesday in Marblehead – Turquoise Water off Ocean Avenue

For anyone who might be new to the site or who hasn’t read the About section, Wednesdays in Marblehead got the name because I typically have the day off work on Wednesdays and had decided in August 2010, to devote that day to shoot the town of Marblehead (whenever conditions allowed). Since then, I have definitely gone out to shoot on other days and share my images every weekday so the name has lost a fair amount of its initial importance. That being said, on Wednesday March 27, the light was so good that I came away with well […]
