Day 3 – A Long Exposure Sunset After the Storm

Continuing with this week's theme of showing images from each of the 5 days of our recent Spring storm, here is the one from Friday, March 8th. If you haven't blocked out all memories of this storm, Friday was a whopper. We started the day with about 8 inches of snow on the ground. What was supposed to let up by noon ended up adding another 8 inches throughout the day. School was cancelled and roads were a mess. I was at work but got out a bit early and had the forethought to bring my camera gear with me. [...]

Day 2 – The Old House and The Sea

By Thursday, March 7th, the storm was really starting to show off its power. I again headed out at high tide hoping to capture some of the ocean's strength on camera. I previously shared an image taken at Devereux Beach of a wave cresting over the causeway (LINK if you missed it). After getting that shot, I headed over to Lovis Cove planning to shoot The Barnacle getting hit by waves. I have captured some amazing waves hitting the Barnacle previously and was equally impressed by the ocean's power on this day. However, after getting those images (I'll share them [...]

Day 1 – Crashing Waves from the Steps of Castle Rock

With the storm now passed and all images processed, I find myself with nineteen images to share with you. I struggled with which to start with and then decided to display photos as the storm unfolded. So here we go with Day 1. On March 6th, the storm was still offshore but the wind had started. I decided to head out with my son to Castle Rock at high tide to see if we could spot any big waves. As soon as we walked down toward the big rock, we saw the sea spray sail over the stone wall and [...]

Sunset After Storm – Light Erupts Over the Harbor

I don't know about you but I sure am glad that the storm is passed. That was a messy, angry, incredibly powerful storm that hunkered down off the coast and sent wave after wave and snowflake after snowflake at us. At last count, Marblehead easily hit 16+ inches and it felt like a bigger storm in the end than the 'Blizzard of 2013' (aka Nemo). As with all storms though, there is the promise of a great sunset when the last flakes have fallen and the clouds start to break. With that in mind, I set out after work to [...]

The Wave and the Causeway

The latest storm to hit our shores made landfall on Thursday, March 7th and the forecasters were predicting huge waves and storm surges at high tide. Though I had to drop off my son at school and be at work by 9, I figured there was enough time to sneak out of the house at daybreak and try to capture some storm shots. I headed out at 6:30 as the tide peaked and drove down to Devereux Beach. I figured if the waves weren't great there, I would keep going to Castle Rock or head up to the Barnacle. When [...]

Washington and Pleasant Street in the Fog

Did you know that Mud Puddle Toys is celebrating their 10th year anniversary? Seemed appropriate to post this image taken in early February of this year. I mentioned in the other black and white foggy images that I had ventured out a few days after the Blizzard passed when rain and warmth led to a rapid snow melt. Around sunset, that combination led to great fog and I photographed Washington Street in the eerie light. As I made my way down the street, I stopped at the corner of Washington and Pleasant in the hopes that a car would come [...]

Snow Capped Houses and Abbot Hall

Back to the Blizzard of 2013 for this image of Abbot Hall taken from Crocker Park. I love this view of Abbot Hall and have shot from this spot on a number of occasions and in various conditions. When I was trudging through the almost two feet of snow that fell during the Blizzard of 2013, I knew that I would have to make it over to Crocker Park for a snowy version of this composition. While the walk was brutal at times, the view did not disappoint with snow capped houses seemingly stacked on each other and leading up [...]

Long Exposure – Reflections on Little Harbor

In February 2012, I was just starting to get the hang of these long exposure images. On this particular day, I had gone out in hopes of capturing Gerry Island at sunset. While I started to photograph the island and little harbor surrounding it, my eye quickly latched on to the collection of houses along Fort Sewall Terrace that faced the harbor. As the sun began to set, the colors in the sky took hold and I started to shoot longer and longer exposures in the fading light. I had previously shared an image with the houses reflecting in little [...]

Frostbite Sailing in Marblehead Harbor

My best friend from college came to visit this weekend and on Sunday we decided to head out with my kids to Crocker Park. I hadn't photographed my kids in weeks so I grabbed the camera thinking I would get a few nice shots of them outside. We couldn't ask for better conditions as the sun kept breaking through the clouds and warming us up. The kids climbed the rocks and I tried to capture their enthusiasm. It wasn't long though before I noticed that frostbite sailing (or 'frostbiting') was taking place in the harbor. With the harbor still fairly [...]

Experimental Friday – Through the Looking Glass at Hammond Park

I was thrilled with the reception that my image from Hammond Park received early last week and happy to note that many longtime 'Headers hadn't visited the park in years but now had made plans to do so. I hope that as a new resident of this town, I can continue to offer a fresh perspective on familiar or forgotten locations and help residents rediscover the beauty all around. With Hammond Park on my mind and the Experimental Friday coming up, my mind turned to this image made in March 2011. I had been exploring the park on this particular [...]
