Marblehead Harbor in the Blue Hour

In early September, I had woken up early enough to capture Marblehead harbor in the blue hour. I drove down State Street to Front Street and parked at the Landing from where I walked around the corner and found this vantage point. The waters were incredibly still and, for some reason, all of the lights were on at the Corinthian Yacht Club at 5:45am when I clicked the shutter. The golden glow of those lights complemented the blues in the sky and water with the bright green light of Marblehead Light reflecting in the still waters.

Between the Docks on Marblehead Neck

On Tuesday, October 14, I had made the decision to head out for a sunset shoot and chose Marblehead Neck as my destination. It had been a while since I had explored one of the public ways on the Neck in particular and so I drove down to Harvard Street and then down to the water's edge. I ducked under the closes dock and set myself up between the docks on Marblehead Neck as the sun began its slow descent. With Marblehead harbor still relatively full of boats, I composed this image to include both docks and Abbot Hall seen [...]

Running to Shore at Devereux Beach

Back to Tuesday, September 9th for this image to finish off the week. I had gone out to shoot the sunset during an astronomically low tide in early September. Before the sky exploded in color, I had spotted a few kids running in and out of the water on what was a very warm evening. I captured this frame as the boy was in mid-stride running to shore at Devereux Beach. Felt like a good image to share as the days get shorter and colder. Enjoy the weekend!

Indian Village in Marblehead

While scouting Fall foliage in Marblehead on Saturday, October 4, I happened upon this Maple tree on Beach Street. I had always wanted to photograph the Indian Village sign and this tree offered the perfect backdrop to do so. Click on the image for a larger version that you can read.

Still Waters at Sunset in Marblehead

On Tuesday, October 14, I had decided to head out at sunset which seemed to hold the promise of a decent showing. I spent much of my time between two docks along Marblehead Neck. As the sun set and the color began to creep into the sky, I noted this composition of the Corinthian Yacht Club with Marblehead Light poking out behind it. The waters were calm but I made them more so with this 30 second exposure. The addition of a circular polarizer helped bring out the reflections in the still waters at sunset in Marblehead.

Purple Dawn over Marblehead

On the morning of October 8, a lunar eclipse was set to take place right at moonset/sunrise offering the chance to capture a 'blood red moon'. Unfortunately, the skies were not cooperating when I arrived at Chandler Hovey Park and found thick cloud cover at the horizon as a storm passed just to the north of us. While I waited and hoped for a break in the clouds, the morning sun lit up the clouds in a brilliant purple hue. There was very little light to work with and, even with a fairly high ISO of 800, the shutter speed [...]

Fall Morning in Salem Harbor

On Friday, October 17, I noted the thick hazy clouds in the morning and the way they diffused the morning sun. Before taking the kids to school, I threw my camera bag and tripod in the trunk of my car in case the light held for a little longer. As I came down Lafayette Street, I was thrilled to see the clouds were still holding back the brightness of the sun and noted this small patch of foliage had turned bright red. I captured a few images from various vantage points but this was an immediate favorite. With the bright [...]

Waves and Mist at Preston Beach

On Saturday, September 27, Marblehead was treated to a warm up that made it feel like Summer again. I went down to Phillips Beach in Swampscott with my wife and kids and decided to walk over to Preston Beach in Marblehead along the water as the tide began to roll out. As I looked back, I noticed the low lying mist that seemed to be coming from water evaporating from the warm sand. The mist combined with the high tide made for an interesting scene and I bent low to capture it as a wave rolled to shore.

The Maple Tree at Seaside Park

I've shared two images of this Maple tree at Seaside Park so far but couldn't help myself in sharing one more vantage point. I had photographed this tree for the first time in the fog on October 20, 2012 and had returned on October 4, 2014 to find it at nearly peak color. The light was flat and skies were gray and so I made it a point to return the next morning when the forecast called for blue skies and scattered clouds. I started off photographing this Maple tree from the other direction so that I could include the Seaside [...]

Marblehead Harborfront

After the rain departed on Saturday, October 11, I decided to head out in hopes of capturing a few lingering clouds and some scenes of foliage around town. On an earlier venture, I had noticed that the Marblehead harborfront (not sure if that is an official name for the area depicted here) was showing signs of Fall colors. I made my way across the causeway to the public way at Parker Lane to see if the colors had indeed 'popped' in the interim. While there were some hints of orange and yellow in the trees, I was more intrigued by [...]
