Last weekend, I decided to head out as sunset approached hoping for a break in the clouds to help light up Marblehead harbor. As luck would have it, this was one of three sunsets in the past few weeks that have held great promise but fizzled in the end. However, before the light faded, I composed this tight shot of Abbot Hall rising above boats on their mooring with the last light of sunset creating the effect of golden water in Marblehead harbor.
For every great sunset capture there are easily a dozen outings that don’t quite work out. I try to make the most of each opportunity and what light is offered in capturing this beautiful seaside town of ours.
