Green Moss and Red Bricks

Here's another Experimental Friday image that comes from the Photowalk that took place in mid October. I had decided to limit my shooting on this excursion to a fixed prime lens and to try to shoot wide open with it (thus making for very shallow depth of field). As we walked down Lookout Court, I noticed this patio and decided to maximize the razor thin field of sharpness by focusing at an angle on the moss growing between the bricks. I loved the competing textures and colors here and hope you do too...

The Harvest Moon Rises over Redds Pond

Here's another shot from the archive, this time from mid October 2011. On the same night that I took this image of the harvest moon and Abbot hall (click to view), I ended up with another great opportunity to shoot this full moon. I drove back through town literally chasing the moon as I went and somehow found myself at Redd's pond. By that point the moon had risen high enough to clear the trees and was positioned immediately over the Pond View house across the water. As luck would have it, the resident of the house must have just [...]

Summer Sunset at Chandler Hovey Park

Is it too early for a 'warm' picture? It's been freezing lately and this morning is no exception. As I watched the election results roll in last night, I combed through my photo archive (currently with 268 images waiting to post) and settled on this shot taken on August 2nd. The image struck me for the warm feel coming from the colors of the sunset. There is a whole lot more happening here though which is what drew me to this scene in the first place. First you have the brightly colored sails on the water. There's a family gathered [...]

Curves in the Water Lead to Brown’s Island

It's Tuesday and that can only mean another Long Exposure image to share with you today (well, that and a pretty important election...). Today's image comes from the day before Superstorm Sandy arrived. I had scouted out this small discharge pipe a while ago but realized I needed an astronomical high tide to realize the image I had visualized. For good or bad, Sandy delivered on that wish. As the tide peaked on October 28th, I made my way out to this area and found the water covering the length of the concrete covered pipe. More incredible than the water [...]

Peak Foliage at Waterside Cemetery

Hope you aren't tired of the bright colors of Fall yet. This year's foliage seemed to take forever to get going and then was hampered by rain and wind before finally ending with Superstorm Sandy. In the midst of that, I tried to capture the color that appeared for the shortest of times in town. On this particular day in mid-October, I was due to drive up to Portsmouth for a conference. When I saw the fog roll in that morning, I just knew that I would have to add a few stops to the drive. One of the first [...]

School Colors on display at Marblehead High School

For the past few weeks, I've been on the hunt for examples of great foliage in town. Everytime I drove down Pleasant Street, I would look up at Marblehead High School and note the status of the trees there. On October 27th, the day before Hurricane Sandy was due to arrive, I decided to make a quick stop in the afternoon. I figured this would be my last chance to shoot the trees there for the season and thought the timing might just work out. As I drove around the rotary and parked, I was thrilled to see the oranges [...]

Greystone Beach After the Storm

For the past few days now, I've been chasing Sandy's effects both during and after the storm's peak. I had a feeling that one of these mornings might prove to be a decent one for a sunrise shoot and realized that this morning was just the one. On Wednesday, I looked out and noted some nice clouds and a touch of pink in the sky. I quickly got into the car and drove off only to turn around when I realized I had forgotten my tripod! I finally made it out and realized the light was changing fast. Did a [...]

Exploding Waves at Castle Rock

After witnessing the power of Hurricane Sandy yesterday, I decided to head out again during the noon high tide to try to see if the remaining power of the storm might make for some interesting scenes. As I drove across the causeway, the sky started to brighten and clear. When I parked at Castle Rock, I was awed by the size of the waves crashing to shore. The first image I captured was the one above with someone standing atop the rock and trying to capture the scene. Next I walked over to get the southern view with huge rolling [...]

Hurricane Sandy Hits Marblehead

Hurricane Sandy came to Marblehead today and brought with her incredible winds and waves. I managed to drive out during my lunch hour and hit Surf Street then Devereux beach followed by some time spent catching waves crash on to and over the causeway. It was incredible to witness and capture the strength of this storm as it hit. Hope you enjoy this look at the power of Hurricane Sandy.

Sandy Meets Surf Street

As Hurricane Sandy makes her approach, the strength of the storm is starting to show. I went out today to shoot some long exposures at high tide (and am working on those now) but I couldn't resist grabbing a few shots of the waves hammering the sea wall. This is a shot from Surf Street which definitely earned its name today. Caught this one wave as it exploded and sent off a great curl back out to sea.
