Sunset in the Snow

The past week in Marblehead featured some incredible sunrises and sunsets and, for a variety of reasons, I missed every single one of them. I got to enjoy a few while home with the family but was never in position to capture one. I decided to look through my 'to be posted' archive for vibrant sunsets and stopped at this image captured on February 10th of this year. I shared a horizontal view shortly after taking this picture of a beautiful sunset forming over Abbot Hall which I captured from Crocker Park covered in a very deep blanket of snow. [...]

Morning Light in the Windshield

In early Spring and late Fall, the working boats of Marblehead Harbor tend to gravitate toward this section near the causeway offering protection from the elements. On this day in May 2012, I had gone out at 5am in hopes of capturing a good sunrise but the thick clouds you see overhead snuffed out any good light. As the sun rose in the sky, the dynamic range grew too wide to capture both the sun and any detail in the boats or houses on Marblehead Neck. I therefore changed the composition to focus on the boats - especially when I [...]

Tree of Life

In late May of 2013, I had gone out on a foggy morning looking for a new spot to shoot. As I drove around town, I found myself going past the Star of the Sea cemetery and quickly pulled over when I saw this incredible tree among the headstones. It was difficult getting the full size of the tree in the frame while also finding a good foreground element to anchor the image. The decision to process the final shot as black and white was easy in comparison.

Come Visit Me at Harbor Holidays at the Boston Yacht Club

I feel very fortunate to have been invited back for my second year at the Boston Yacht Club's Harbor Holidays event. It seemed like a great time to share this image taken on June 3, 2013 and never posted to the site. I had gone out on this day to capture the tradition of firing a cannon at sunset. Before the cannon fired, I couldn't help but capture this view of the full facade of the Boston Yacht Club. You can also make out Abbot Hall tower in the distance. I will be at the Boston Yacht Club on Saturday, [...]

A Rainbow over Ram’s Island

Last week, I shared an image of the incredible rain cloud that formed over Marblehead Neck on July 24, 2015. This image of a rainbow over Ram's Island was taken 2 hours earlier as the combination of rain and breaking sunlight served to create the beautiful sight. I ended up capturing this particular rainbow at 5:15pm as we headed out to dinner not realizing that I would have a chance to capture another rainbow from Lafayette Street at 7:30pm as we returned home. I ended up chasing that rainbow to Front Street and was treated to the rest of the [...]

The Glowing Waters of Marblehead Harbor

I drove across the causeway on Sunday and was delighted to see frostbite sailing underway but depressed by the absence of boats in the harbor. Between that, the too-early sunsets and the raw cold day Saturday, I was in the mood for a warm image to start this week. This image comes from July 16, 2013 and a boat ride through Marblehead Harbor. For those boaters out there with moorings in Marblehead Harbor, I'm sure I don't have to tell you just how amazing of a harbor we have in this town. There are literally hundreds of good angles and [...]

Swirling Water at Castle Rock

This seemed like a good image to end the week on. Captured on a foggy day in May 2012, I tried to time the exposure to include a wave coming to shore and swirling around one of the rocks on the beach at Castle Rock.

The Rain Cloud over Marblehead Neck

I've shared a few different images on this rain cloud that entered the skies over Marblehead on July 24, 2015. It really was a sight to see and, when the sun set and added a golden glow to the structure, I couldn't help but capture it from every possible angle. This view offers a glimpse of the rain cloud hovering over Marblehead Neck and given a sense of scale to the cloud.

Light up the Lighthouse

Today's images come from Christmas Eve 2011. I had gone out that evening (if you can consider 4:00pm evening that is) in order to shoot Marblehead Light lit up for the holidays. I had captured a few images of the lights dangling from atop the lighthouse the previous year but had a few more images in mind. Little did I know that this would be the best presentation of lights I would see (they seem to have dimmed significantly in each of the past few years). What's interesting is that I captured one image at the peak of sunset and, [...]

Tinker’s Island in the Frame

In the Summer of 2012, we were invited by friends to their rental home on the Neck. As I walked the grounds, I spotted this view of Tinker's Island framed by an archway. I had left my tripod at home thinking I would only take photos of my kids so I braced myself against a wall and fired off two shots (one for Tinker's Island in the distance and the other for the archway). I later blended the two together so that both were in focus in the final image.
