On Saturday, Rick Ashley and Dennis Curtin (two great local photographers) led a group of about fifty camera-wielding individuals through the streets of Marblehead as part of the Worldwide Photowalk. The experience was a great one and I really enjoyed the conversations I had with both Denny and Rick as well as a number of other ‘walkers’. While the conditions were great for walking (crisp and sunny), they weren’t perfect for photography. I decided to use a prime lens for the entire 3 hour walk and was hoping to build up my ‘experimental Friday’ theme a bit.
When we reached Front Street, I decided to walk along the rocks to the left as it was low tide and they were accessible. As I made my way around, I noted the name of this boat and its great color scheme which complemented the bright blue water very well. I had to wait for the wind to nudge the boat to the right angle and then quickly grabbed this image which is one of my favorites from the day. Hopefully Rick will lead a group again next year. If so, circle mid-October in your calendar now and make sure you attend.
