Morning Light on Little Harbor

On Sunday, October 5th, I had set out early to capture images of the dawn and then made my way to a few locations in Marblehead showing early (and beautiful) Fall colors. I shared five images from this one hour photo shoot last week but have a few more in the 'to be posted' archive that I really liked. After parking on Beacon Street and surveying the scene of Little Harbor before me, I was a little disappointed in the clear sky and had little hope for the morning. I did notice a few subtle clouds high above but did [...]

Full Lot at Little Harbor

This photo comes from September 28 and a trip around town hunting for early signs of Fall foliage. I ended up at the landing near the Marblehead Lobster company and found the waters of Little Harbor still filled with boats and subtle colors on Gerry Island. Composed this image to include the full length of Gerry Island, Marblehead Light in the distance and the boat ramp leading into the water.

Dawn over Little Harbor

The last image for the week is also one of the very first I captured on this Sunday morning. I had parked along Beacon Street and saw this simple scene laid out before me of dawn over Little Harbor I have to admit that I didn't have much hope for a brilliant sunrise at the time with the heavy bank of clouds near the horizon but the clouds overhead did wonders for reflecting the morning light (images to be shared in the weeks to come). Hope you enjoyed the five images shared this week - all captured in the span [...]

Fall in Marblehead – Crowninshield Road

All of this week's images were captured over a few hours span on Sunday morning. I had started out along Beacon Street hoping for a solid dawn and sunrise and having that wish fulfilled (more of those images next week). As the sun rose above the horizon, it began to light up the trees along Crowninshield Road and, in particular, one tree showing off its Fall colors. With the expansive view of Doliber Cove and the orange color of this one tree lit up by the morning sun, the scene seemed to sum up Fall in Marblehead quite well.

Peak Foliage in Marblehead – Brilliant Reds at Seaside Park

Monday's post included a horizontal view of this maple tree at Seaside park showcasing its brilliant red color at peak foliage along Atlantic Avenue. I couldn't leave this scene with only one image and worked a number of angles before the sun rose too high in the sky for me to be able to get the compositions I wanted. I'm still torn over which image I prefer - this vertical one or Monday's horizontal view. In either case, I was thrilled to be able to capture this tree's beautiful colors showcasing Fall in Marblehead.

Old Town House and the Maple Tree

On Sunday morning, after capturing views of dawn from Beacon Street, I drove into historic downtown Marblehead to check on the progress of a certain tree on Washington Street. This maple tree stands in the space between two multi-family homes with stores on the ground floors. I have tried to capture the Old Town House and the maple tree on several occasions over the years but was never happy with the colors of the leaves of the composition. As I drove down Mugford Street, I was surprised to see very few cars parked around Old Town House and Washington Street. [...]

Peak Foliage in Marblehead – The Tree on the Avenue

There are a few trees in town that have become my favorites over these past 5 years and the maple on Atlantic Avenue near the Seaside park sign is among them. I had gone out on Saturday in grey, flat light and found this tree to have reached almost peak foliage. The weather was due to turn for the better the next morning and so I made the quick decision to wake up early and try to capture theist tree at peak foliage in better light. I started off shooting around Doliber Cover and Little Harbor (come back Thursday and [...]

First Foliage of the Season – Green Street Cemetery

On September 21, a thick fog descended on Marblehead as sunset neared and I made a dash out to the Green Street cemetery where I has spotted the first foliage of the season. The fog helped hide the wires overhead that still seem to overpower the scene. I tried two different compositions and honestly can't decide which I like better and if either really 'works' in the end. Can't wait to shoot more scenes of Fall in Marblehead in the days to come...

Marblehead Harbor Sunset

Back to the photo shoot on September 28 after yesterday's brief hiatus to capture scenes of Vermont's foliage. I explained in Monday and Tuesday's posts that I had gone out on Sunday to capture views of our Indian Summer. Well, after shooting around Little Harbor, I had made my way to Corinthian Lane hoping for a nice sunset. As the sun set below the horizon, I made my way down to the beach and captured this scene with boats still filling Marblehead Harbor. With the cold wet weather of the past two days, it's only a matter of time before the [...]

A Look Back at September

Every month, I share a video showcasing every image posted to the Wednesdays in Marblehead site in that time period. I have shared these on my website on the Videos page and on my Facebook page. As I plan to be up in Vermont all day today, I set up today's post to be shared in the morning and hope you enjoy a look back at September. Special thank you to Mason Daring of Marblehead for allowing me to use his piece to accompany the video.
