A Gaggle of Optis at Marblehead Junior Race Week

On Wednesday morning, I headed out to drop off a framed print for a customer and then made my way out to the Pleon Yacht Club in hopes of catching the Optis heading out as part of Marblehead Junior Race Week. I got there in time to catch one of the last groups heading out and took some images with Abbot Hall and Marblehead Lighthouse as backdrops. As I was getting set to go, Dan Tucker (check out his great photography here LINK) offered to take me out and get a close up view of the action. I quickly jumped [...]

Turning the Corner at Brown’s Island

Last week, a good friend took me out on his boat. We started off at Salem Harbor and explored the outer shores of Marblehead and the Neck. By 7pm, we were approaching Brown's Island via Doliber Cove. As we headed in, Brown's Island rotated and the sky opened up and I was given this perfect scene of golden light with Marblehead Lighthouse seen in the distance. I mentioned previously that I took a LOT of shots on this two hour trip. Much of that was due to the conditions with light changing rapidly and the need to keep adjusting to [...]

Long Exposure – Clouds Over Devereux Beach

It has been a while since I've gone out to take a long exposure image and this Tuesday spot has been taken up by other images in the interim. On Monday, July 15th, I found myself with an opportunity to do so once again and headed out in search of subjects. I had an idea for a shoot at Devereux Beach and arrived there at 6pm to see if I could make it happen. When I saw these soft wispy clouds hanging over the ocean, I changed my plan and decided to shoot over the water instead. The three white [...]

A Line of Pleons at Sunset

Last night, I went out in hopes of catching the Full Buck Moon rising. While the full moon will be better seen tonight, I was only able to try for the shot last night. The moon rose early and right into a cloud bank so, while I came away with an okay image, it wasn't a great result. As I waited for the moon to rise, I noted some great clouds forming behind and all around me. I decided to head down to Devereux Beach once the moon was buried in the cloud bank and scout out the conditions. I [...]

North Goosebury Island Under the Clouds

On Tuesday night, a good friend invited me out for a boat ride at 6pm. My wife and kids were still in Virginia (I had been down there revisiting DC the prior week) and so I jumped at the opportunity. A quick stop at Mino's for dinner and a cooler of refreshments accompanied us as we headed down to Salem harbor. Once on board, the sun cleared a cloud bank and we were treated to some incredible light. Seth took me around Naugus head and Peaches Point and then around Marblehead Neck before heading out towards Baker's Island. As we [...]

Patriotism on the corner of Harris and Mugford Streets

It's hard to believe that the Marblehead Festival of Arts took place two weeks ago. On July 6th, I walked with my family around the streets of Old Town to shop and look at the many varied exhibits. As we made our way from the Unitarian Universalist Church towards Old Town House, I looked to my right and noted the abundance of patriotism on display. These house are situated at the corner of Mugford and Harris Streets and, between the bright colors, beautiful landscaping and Betsy Ross flag on display, the scene was too nice to pass up. The photo [...]

Marblehead Harbor in the Blue Hour

On June 12th, I woke early and decided to head down to Hammond Park for sunrise. I arrived near the end of the blue hour and quickly went about capturing images of Marblehead Harbor filled with boats and the lighthouse with its green light on. I tried a number of compositions and varied shutter speeds but this image ended up as my favorite. Shortly after this image, there was a pause of 20 minutes during which the rain picked up and I huddled in the car waiting for a sunrise. It turned out to be worth the wait and 'Four [...]

Fog on the Water at Redd’s Pond

On July 2nd, I went out at sunset to scout out spots from which to shoot the Fourth of July fireworks. The tides were going to be approximately the same on this night as on the fourth and I decided to check on a few possible locations that were tide-dependent. As I drove from one spot to another, I went by Redd's Pond and noted fog rolling across the water. I had never seen the fog act this way at Redd's Pond before and quickly jumped out to try to capture this phenomenon. I'll note that this was some of [...]

A 600 Million Year Old View – Castle Rock

Though I've often visited (and photographed) the area around Castle Rock, I have very few images focused on the large rock itself. On Sunday, I noted nice clouds forming during the afternoon and decided to brave the heat and humidity for a photoshoot. The outing took me to Devereux Beach and then to various points around the neck. I ended at Castle Rock and started there with some compositions of the beach. I then turned and focused on this rock face and included the great clouds above and sailboats in the distance. On returning home, I decided to try to [...]

Over 700 Images of Marblehead Visualized

This past week, I crossed the 700 mark with this website. Since starting in August 2010, I have shared over 700 images of Marblehead! The ironic part is that I never thought I would post more than 50 images per year (figuring I would put up a photo every Wednesday). I have discovered that this town is too photogenic and the scenes I capture so compelling, that I have ended up sharing 5-7 days per week. With that in mind, I thought it would be fun to create a mosaic using every image posted to the site. The first one [...]
