Looking out over Gerry Island from Fort Sewall

On the same day that I captured a new (to me) composition of the road under a tree at Fort Sewall which I shared yesterday, I also snagged this image of Gerry Island at sunset. While the light was not as spectacular as I might have hoped (though it ended up making up for it later...), the golden glow was reflected off the water below and lit up the nearby grass to great effect. I needed to put in quite a bit of work to tease out all the great light and potential in this image and decided to show [...]

Under a Tree at Fort Sewall

On Sunday, June 16th, I decided to end Father's Day with a photoshoot. I had noted the possibility of a good sunset and decided to head to Fort Sewall to explore possible images. I have photographed Fort Sewall on numerous occasions and in various conditions so the thought of finding a new composition in this relatively small area was the last thing I had expected. However, after descending a set of stairs, I looked back and found this scene before me. The tree and its canopy perfectly placed over a trodden dirt path with boats carefully arranged on their moorings [...]

Morning in Little Harbor

Here is another image from my sunrise shoot on June 12th. After shooting the sunrise from Hammond Park and then up and down the Landing and causeway, I drove up towards little harbor. I ended up in front of Marblehead Lobster Company and found these boats parked in the waters of little harbor. With Gerry island in the immediate background and the lighthouse jutting out in the distance, the composition seemed to work really nicely. Hope you enjoy this serene image of morning in little harbor.

Firing the Cannon Under a Rainbow – Dolphin Yacht Club

Five yacht clubs in five weeks and it ends with a bang! For those who might have missed the start of this project, it all began on May 20th when I found myself facing a lackluster sunset and decided to shoot the first of the yacht clubs firing the cannon at sunset. It was supposed to finish on Tuesday night at the Dolphin Yacht Club. I had called ahead a week prior and spoken to a wonderfully friendly South African gentleman who ran the launch. He invited me down to shoot the cannon and the stars seemed to align well [...]

Full Double Rainbow over Marblehead

On Monday night, I shared the story and first image from my wild race to capture the incredible double rainbow that took shape at sunset over Marblehead. [LINK] As I mentioned, I had driven to Bass Rock Lane as it was the closest spot to the house offering unobstructed views of the water. Shortly after capturing the image of a double rainbow that I shared immediately after coming home, I turned the camera to the portrait/vertical orientation and fired off 6 shots in the hopes of capturing the full double rainbow. While the earlier shot required little in the way [...]

A Blizzard Comes to Washington Street

As I sit down to write this post on June 24th, I find myself at the end of an oppressively hot day with another on the horizon. With that as background, I decided to dive into the archive and bring out the first 'cold' image of the Summer. This shot of Washington Street comes from the Blizzard of 2013 that descended on Marblehead in early February. We ended up with over 20 inches of snow, driving bans and cold. What better way to escape the heat than to be reminded of this scene that happened only 4 months ago? It is also [...]

The Strawberry Supermoon Rises Over Tinker’s Island

This weekend's Strawberry Moon (aka Rose Moon, Flower Moon) was also designated as the Supermoon marking the closest that the moon would come to Earth in all of 2013. This particular supermoon would appear to be the largest full moon of the year owing to its proximity to Earth. With that in mind, I scouted out the moonrise and moonset beginning on Saturday night. As luck would have it, other plans and weather removed the Saturday night and Sunday morning opportunities to shoot the supermoon. I was determined to head out on Sunday however and was armed with a borrowed [...]

A Rowboat Named Dimples

This is another image from the sunrise shoot that took place last Wednesday. I shared an image from this set on Monday and showed a map of the 3 hour photo shoot that followed. This image was taken after a great breakfast at the Driftwood at 5:30 with a bunch of locals. I wandered down to the water's edge and found this rowboat name 'Dimples' floating just far enough away from the launch to get this simple composition. The image was already fairly monotone and I pushed that a bit by going with black and white and heightening the contrast [...]

Firing the Cannon at Sunset – Marblehead Yacht Club

On Wednesday, June 5th, I was able to visit the fourth of our yacht clubs and capture this image of the cannon firing at sunset over Marblehead harbor. I had phoned the Marblehead Yacht Club when the conditions looked good for sunset and received permission to head down and try to capture their cannon firing at sunset. When I arrived, I introduced myself to the launch driver and designated cannon shooter for the night - Dan. It dawned on me as I sought out a composition just how different each of the cannons had been. On this occasion, I had [...]

Riding the Launch at Sunset in Marblehead Harbor

After photographing the cannon firing at sunset from the Corinthian Yacht Club, I headed back to where I had parked on Corinthian Lane and marveled at the remaining colors of sunset as they slowly faded over Marblehead harbor. I setup the camera to capture this scene and the great solitary cloud formation at the edge of the frame when I noted the launch setting out from the Corinthian Yacht Club. I quickly adjusted my settings and captured the added element of people in this landscape scene which ended up being my favorite capture of the set. Hope you agree.
