It’s interesting to watch the traffic in Marblehead Harbor during the morning blue hour as the sunrise approaches.  On this particular Sunday, I had gone out in hopes of interesting skies left over from the intense lightning storm that seemed to signal the end of Summer.  While the scene before me was calm and peaceful, I quickly lost hope for a brilliant sunrise that would explode in colors over the harbor.

Instead, as I waited on the light, I noted someone waiting at the end of a float at State Street landing.  With the minimal light, I had to shoot with long shutter speeds but, as in this shot, the man moved very little (if at all) for two second stretches.  It was a few minutes after this image captured at 5:45am that a boat came by to pick him up and take off for the sea.  With the lackluster light that came with the sunrise on this morning, this image of a lone man waiting for a ride in Marblehead Harbor during the blue hour became the favorite of the set.

Hope you enjoy it.
