A brand new photo from this morning’s really fun outing! I wasn’t sure how the morning would pan out when I set the alarm for 5:30 but had three locations in mind for shooting the sunrise. As I got in the car only 10 minutes before sunrise, I was disappointed not to see any color in the sky and quickly decided on Crocker Park as the best vantage point as the high clouds seemed to be moving west.I parked at the State Street landing and headed up to find a nearly empty park and a bit of color behind Marblehead Light.

I shot as the sun rose behind the lighthouse and was pretty happy with the color I saw localized to that area. Then I turned around and saw the clouds behind me had started to pick up that morning light. I walked up to this point, swapped lenses and composed this image making sure to include the bright spots of yellow signaling that spring had truly arrived in Marblehead. This was the highlight of the morning but I had one more stop on the way home from shooting this spring sunrise at Crocker Park.

Lots to share in the days ahead…
