Brilliant Sunset on an Empty Harbor

I mentioned in yesterday's post that I had left the house on February 18th with the hopes of catching a solid sunset. As you can see, this brilliant sunset far exceeded my expectations. There's something different about the Winter sun and its accompanying sunsets that makes for these intense pinks when the clouds break just right. As luck would have it, I had positioned myself at Corinthian Lane and was able to capture this brilliant sunset reflecting on an empty Marblehead harbor with a private pier breaking up the foreground and Marblehead's skyline positioned in the lower third of the frame. [...]

Golden Light on Redd’s Pond

On February 18, conditions seemed perfect for a beautiful Winter sunset and I left the house just after 4:00 to explore the possibilities. I started off at this familiar spot and made it here just in time as the sun's angle was spilling golden light on Redd's Pond. I shot three frames with my camera before heading back to the car to grab the Phantom 4 Pro. It wasn't long before I found the composition I wanted which showcased the close proximity of Redd's Pond to Old Burial Hill, Gerry Island, Fort Sewall and Marblehead Neck. One of my favorite aspects of [...]

Frostbite Sailing in Marblehead Harbor – A Fifty Foot View

Yesterday was my 42nd birthday and I was fortunate to start it with a homemade breakfast with my wife and kids and end it with a great dinner out. In the middle of the day, I couldn't think of anything more fun than enjoying the Spring-like weather and flying my Phantom 4 Pro drone over Marblehead Harbor to capture scenes of frostbite sailing. The conditions were perfect for sailing with light winds and intermittently great for photography with cloudy skies and occasional breaks of brilliant light. I took turns shooting stills and video with the drone and switching to the real [...]

Frostbite Sailing in Marblehead Harbor – aerial video

We had incredible conditions for today's frostbite sailing session. It felt like Spring out and I was excited to fly my drone over Marblehead harbor as the boats raced below. Here is a video made up of a few clips as I hovered overhead and captured the sailboats racing in the protected waters of our harbor. https://youtu.be/GszSyRW48TI Music: Ben Howard

Breakfast after the Blizzard at the Driftwood

In February 2013, a blizzard passed through Marblehead and I ventured out to capture scenes of the historic downtown distract in its aftermath. Whether it was great timing or dumb luck, I ended up in front of a familiar red restaurant as the good light passed - just in time to grab breakfast after the blizzard at the Driftwood.

Rime Ice at the Corinthian

Last Valentine's Day was the coldest of the entire Winter and resulted in incredible sea smoke conditions within Marblehead Harbor. I captured numerous scenes that morning and ended up at the Corinthian just before 8am where I found rime ice had formed over the rocks near the base of the yacht club. I composed this image to include the rime ice in the foreground, sea smoke over the water (which had turned into confluent fog at that point) and Abbot Hall in the distance. Thankfully, this Valentine's Day was much warmer than the one in 2016.

Playing with Shadows on Old Burial Hill

I'm curious what you think of today's image of shadows on Old Burial Hill after a recent snowstorm. One of the aspects of shooting with my new Phantom 4 Pro is the ability to capture Marblehead from new angles and perspectives. I captured this image looking straight down on an early morning at the intersection of Old Burial Hill and Redd's Pond. I tried the accentuate the long shadows cast by trees and gravestones at Old Burial Hill created by the angle of the sun and the fresh coat of snow. Let me know what you think in the comments.

Clouds in the Sky and Boats in the Harbor

As Winter drags on, I thought we might all enjoy a look ahead to Summer in Marblehead and what better view than this of cumulous clouds in the sky and boats in the harbor. Who's ready for Summer?

Old Town House in the Snow

The past few days haven't lacked for snow but wether it was the poor light or timing of the fall (and pauses between), I hadn't been able to capture views of our town blanketed in white. Thankfully, I've been out many times in the snow and often came back with views of the same landmark from different angles resulting in very different perspectives. Today's image of Old Town House in the snow comes from a picture perfect snow fall on the morning of January 24, 2015. There had been a light but sticky snow overnight and the plows had made [...]

Flying over Old Town House

It's good to be back... My family and I just returned from a week long stay in the Turks and Caicos where we basked in the warmth of perfect weather. It was a treat to shoot my kids on the sandy beach of Grace Bay and to fly my Phantom 4 Pro over the turquoise waters. But it also made me excited to do the same over Marblehead as soon as this Winter ends. So far, this Winter hasn't been very photogenic with little snowfall and mostly drab light. However, on the morning of January 8th, I had headed to [...]
