On a Street Lined with Magnolia Trees

I mentioned in Monday's post that I had gone out on Saturday, April 20th to try to capture trees at peak bloom once the rain finally let up. My first stop was Garnet Street which lies off Beach Street. I had accidentally happened upon this street lined with magnolia trees when I took advantage of the first warm day to take my kids to Devereux beach. Since then, I had been stopping here to check the status of the trees. I had photographed the street on April 17th when the trees had been at peak bloom but wasn't happy with [...]

The Bench Under the Cherry Tree at Harris Street Cemetery

So this is the image I really wanted to capture when I came back to the Harris Street Cemetery on Sunday at sunrise. I had photographed the cemetery and its three beautiful cherry trees at peak bloom the day before but the light was coming from the opposite direction. That made this angle tough to capture as the interior cherry blossoms were in the shadows and the light was just all wrong. I woke at 6am having checked the forecast and noting clear blue skies were expected. That gave me an extra hour of sleep as there was no point [...]

The Tombstone Under the Cherry Blossoms

Yesterday, I shared the first image from these incredible cherry trees at the Harris Street Cemetery. Today, I'll share the last image taken on Sunday as I headed back to my car. I had come across this particle tombstone before and found the inscription fascinating. As the sun had climbed up in the sky, I was able to get some great light coming off the face of the tombstone. I chose a wide open aperture to push the beautiful colors of the cherry blossoms into a bit of a blur in the background. In case you cannot make out the [...]

Cherry Blossoms at Peak Bloom – Harris Street Cemetery

Last week I shared images of cherry blossoms taken in the Spring of 2012 and explained that cherry blossoms were forever tied to Spring in my mind after spending several years living in Washington, DC. Over this past weekend, I asked for some help from my 'fans' on Facebook to help me find trees at peak blossom. I was pointed to a few spots around town but one person asked if I had been to the Harris Street Cemetery yet. On Saturday, after the rain let up, I decided to check all the spots recommended to me. I started on [...]

Cherry Blossoms Reach Peak Bloom on Washington Street

Don't get too excited...these images were taken in 2012. But that just means that we have these beautiful blossoms to look forward to in the days to come. As you may remember from last year's posts, I explained that Spring and cherry blossoms will forever be intertwined for me after living in Washington, DC for 4 years. I completed my residency in Internal Medicine at Georgetown University Hospital and would head to the tidal basin each Spring to photograph the cherry blossoms as they reached peak bloom. While we don't quite have the same number of trees in a concentrated [...]

Cherry Blossoms Start to Bloom Under the Half Moon

Following up on yesterday's image with a half moon, I decided to share this one of my favorite tree in town starting to bloom. If you can believe it, this photo was taken on March 31, 2012. Last I checked this tree, it was still far from blooming. I had wanted to capture the details in the branch and the blossoms in their varied stages of blossoming. Again, as yesterday, the issue was the negative space that surrounded the branch. Fortunately, I found a great element to break up the space. The issue next was a technical one - how [...]

Commercial Street Dock Under the Half Moon

On Wednesday, April 3rd, I awoke before the sun rose and headed out in search of good light. I ended up at Hammond Park and shared an image from there last week. After that image, I kept looking for new and different compositions and happened upon this one. The now old (and replaced) Commercial Street dock was set at a nice diagonal and the lights on the causeway were still (mostly) lit at 6:10am when this shot was taken. There was a subtle pink/orange glow at the horizon (almost 90 degrees from the angle of the sun rise) which helped [...]

Long Exposure – Corinthian Dock and the Mooring

On this Long Exposure Tuesday, I decided to share an image taken in early April 2012. This was an exceptionally warm day (hard to believe with the weather we've had so far this month) and I ended up wandering up and down the harbor's edge hoping to shoot under and around the piers that line the water. I ended up at the Corinthian near the end of my shoot and noted the way their dock lined up with Abbot Hall in the distance. As I got closer, I found this great old mooring somehow cemented in the rocks and decided [...]

Cliff Street Houses and Abbot Hall at Sunrise

Can you believe this was the scene that I woke to on May 6, 2012? I had gotten up early that day hoping to catch the moonset but the clouds at the horizon made that a wasted effort. However, I was able to capture a number of images in the blue hour that I've shared previously and this one which has been sitting in the queue for a while. I've shared similar compositions to this on prior images. The three stately homes that reside on Cliff Street make for an awesome subject - especially when you reach that point along [...]

The Snow Trap at Tedesco Country Club

Is it safe to post photos of snow yet? I know I'm tired of seeing the white stuff but have to admit it can make for some incredible photo opportunities. In late December, we had a particular good sized storm. The day after, the sun came up behind a bank of clouds and produced great diffused light. This was just what I had needed for this particular image and I head out to Tedesco Country Club to see if I could capture what I had visualized. As I made my way on the greens, I noted the sand trap was covered [...]
