On Saturday night, I had checked an app that tries to predict strong sunsets and found a really good chance for great light. It’s important to know that this app is right less than 50% of the time so I headed out of the house somewhat reluctantly and without clear direction.
I headed down Atlantic Avenue and on to Ocean figuring the start of the causeway at Devereux Beach would give me the best shot of figuring out which way the light was strongest. I arrived 10 minutes before sunset and found a really delicate mix of pinks and blues over Marblehead Neck that was nicely reflected in the still waters of the harbor. I quickly parked, grabbed my gear and stood atop the causeway for this view of a really nice spring sunset over the Neck.
This didn’t turn out to be one of those ridiculous bright orange-red sunsets I had expected based on the app but there’s something about this pink and blue light that made for quite the scene.
Quick Question – do you prefer these shots to show up first thing in the morning or would you rather see them at 6-7pm? I think I play around with posting times 2-3 times per year as I can never decide if it’s better to start the day with a nice shot of Marblehead or see these fresh after a long day of work…
