We have had some incredible light this past week and, as luck would have it, my son is at sleep-away camp so I have more time to go out and capture the amazing sunsets that have taken shape over Marblehead Harbor.
Monday saw the first confirmed tornado touch down in Essex county (Revere) along with a steady stream of thunderstorms. Thankfully, most missed Marblehead to the North but the clouds that accompanied the activity suggested yet another epic sunset.
I headed out to Marblehead Neck and, with clouds exploding all around me, decided to stop along Foster Street for the best vantage point from which to capture the light in every direction. The combination of light and clouds did not disappoint and I had chased one particular cloud bank to the small beach in front of the Eastern Yacht Club. After shooting it, I turned and saw that the sun was ready to dip below the level of the cranes at the end of the pier. I found this spot where only part of the sun would shine through and closed down the aperture to obtain a sun star after the storm.
The light was amazing and I’ll have more images to share from this night in the days to come. Don’t forget about the Open House tomorrow from 3-8pm!
