On Monday, July 21, dense fog approached Marblehead’s shores and I decided to head out to capture a few scenes I had in mind. Rather than heading straight to Marblehead Harbor, I took West Shore Drive to Beacon Street and Grace Oliver Beach. I took a few photos there with Brown’s Island barely visible through the gathering fog and then walked along Beacon Street to Harding Lane. There, I wandered down for a better view of Brown’s Island and found Sadie.
Sadie was jumping into the waters of Little Harbor after rocks being thrown by her owners. She would pine for another as soon as she made it to the small rocky outcropping they all stood on. With high tide upon us, there was little room to maneuver for a shot and so I decided to make the most of the situation and capture my first animal portrait on Wednesdays in Marblehead.
I pushed the ISO high to allow for fast shutter speeds and then tried to capture the black dog in Little Harbor. In this shot, Sadie is caught as she is about to leap into the water and you can make out the back-splash of the just-thrown rock that she is staring at intently. A dinghy can be seen in the water and Brown’s Island serves as the backdrop shrouded in fog.
