On Sunday, January 20th, after attending my son’s swim meet at the JCC, I noted the clouds starting to form as we neared sunset. I had a location in mind for a long exposure shot for some time and decided to head there in hopes that the light would work. As I got to Fountain Park, the clouds were just starting to reach the lighthouse. The light was starting to fade and I got to work setting up my camera with the 10-stop filter to help limit available light and extend the time the shutter could be opened.
It turns out that 104 seconds was the magic number on this particular outing. I caught the clouds just as they started to thicken and ended up with nice gradations in the sky. I processed the image to bring out the detail and structure in the nearby houses bordering Fort Sewall and the lighthouse beyond. You can even make out Marblehead Rock sitting just past Chandler Hovey park. Hope you enjoy the view.
