Sailing in the Glow of a Foggy Sunset

The night of July 5th offered the most incredible light I have witnessed since starting Wednesdays in Marblehead in 2010. The combination of late day fog and the setting sun made for a breathtaking view of a foggy sunset over Marblehead Harbor. From my spot at Chandler Hovey Park, I was able to shoot countless scenes as the light changed including a few of folks sailing in the glow of a foggy sunset. I've shared a closer view of a sailboat making its way into the harbor before but also had this vertical view that I couldn't help but share [...]

Foggy Days at Castle Rock

Since the forecast for today and tomorrow is a mix of rain and fog, I thought I would dive into the archive and share this image of foggy days at Castle Rock taken in May 2012. Every time I share an image of Castle Rock, I'm reminded of the incredible beauty of this small part of Marblehead Neck. You could spend hours watching and listening to the surf as it comes to shore and tumbles the rocks creating a perfect symphony of sights and sounds any time of year.

Casting its Light – Marblehead Lighthouse

Not long after the supermoon rose on November 13th, it reached a height and brightness which offered little in the way of compositions. Instead of chasing the moon, I focused instead on the intense golden glow reflecting in the still waters of Marblehead Harbor. I repositioned as the moon rapidly ascended and reached this point at which the moon was casting its light directly over Marblehead Light. Without the moon in the frame, the viewer is left with a surreal display of the lighthouse seeming to cast a golden light onto the waters below with the green beacon clearly visible [...]

Giving Thanks and Free Wallpapers

Each year on Thanksgiving, I like to look back and give thanks for the support of those who see and interact with my images on my website and various social media locations. I started Wednesdays in Marblehead in August 2010 as a personal project to learn more about my new town. I still remember those early days when I would post an image to the website and wonder if anyone would ever see it. After six years and over 1,500 images shared, I’m humbled that so many have connected with these photos of Marblehead and the beauty to be found [...]

Sailing in the Harbor

As I waited for the supermoon to rise over Chandler Hovey Park, I spotted this sailboat making its way into Marblehead Harbor. I quickly adjusted my camera settings and made use of the incredible 600mm lens to isolate the boat sailing in the harbor against the sunlit backdrop of houses on the Neck. With the days getting colder and sunset arriving sooner and sooner, this image of the crew of the Rozi enjoying one of the last sails of the season seemed a good way to start off the weekend. Don't forget to visit me at the BYC on Saturday from [...]

The Setting Moon and Abbot Hall

After capturing the supermoon rising against the lighthouse at Chandler Hovey Park, I returned home to check the weather forecast for the next morning with the hope of capturing the setting moon as well. I lucked out with clear conditions forecast for dawn but was concerned with the timing of moonset approximately 30 minutes before sunrise. With so little light in the morning sky, the relatively bright moon threatened to overwhelm any scene I chose. I woke in the predawn hours and drove across the causeway to Foster Street where I found two other photographers ready to shoot the moon. [...]

Goodnight Moon – Marblehead, Massachusetts

The supermoon rose at its closest path to Earth in over sixty years and I had just made it to this location in time to capture the incredibly large moon against the iconic Abbot Hall. In the past 36 hours, I have shot the moonrise twice and the moonset once. Each location required a good deal of planning and luck - but none more so than this one. I started my supermoon chasing last night from near Crocker Park and managed to get a nice shot of it ascending near the lighthouse. This morning, I woke before dawn and captured [...]

Supermoon Rises over Marblehead Light

When I first heard that a supermoon was due to rise in November, I dismissed it as 'yet another supermoon' (it seems we've had two to three of these each year since the last really big one in March 2011 which I used for the cover of my book). It was only later that I realized that the moon was making its closest path to Earth since 1948 and would indeed be a supermoon to rival and beat that 2011 one. With that in mind, I made several plans for capturing the wonder of this full Beaver moon. First up was upgrading [...]
