As the days get shorter and Summer reaches its end, I’m reminded of the beauty of Winter sunsets in Marblehead. The colors of sunsets in the Winter are quite different than their Summer variants. At the same time, the timing of those early sunsets and the rapidity with which the light changes makes them far more challenging to capture.
This image was taken on December 4, 2011 during a high tide on Devereux Beach. I setup my tripod in the wet sand and had thought ahead so was wearing waterproof boots. I still had to time the shot just right to get this wave action and recall grabbing the gear on several occasions when a rogue wave threatened to splash me with the icy water.
