Floating under the Light of the Moon

Tonight's moonrise was quite a sight to behold and I was thankful for a last minute decision to capture the full corn moon rising over the float at Crocker Park. I had originally planned to capture the moon from along Front Street but arrived to find a seemingly thick marine layer that I was sure would block the composition I had in mind. I made a quick decision to head to Crocker Park instead and arrived in plenty of time to set up. As I got to the float, I noticed the sign listing the dates of operation as June [...]

Heading into Harbor by Moonlight

On a mid-July evening, a friend and I took his boat out for an evening tour of Marblehead. As the last light of day was captured by overhead clouds, we passed Marblehead Light heading into harbor. A half moon sat high in the evening sky and I quickly composed this image of our lighthouse, houses on the Neck and the Corinthian Yacht Club under the light of that moon as day turned to night.

2018 Wednesdays in Marblehead Calendar has Arrived

This year's calendar marks my seventh annual Marblehead calendar and may just be my favorite one yet. I set about choosing images last month and then got to work on the final selections, re-processing for the press and the monthly grids. Finally, I had a calendar ready to go but the August image wasn't a favorite. Luckily, it was now August and so I took a chance on a sunset one night and came away with a new favorite image of Marblehead Harbor from 400 feet up in the air. My print order arrived last night and I tore into [...]

Harbor Tour at Sunset

In mid-July of 2013, a friend invited me onto his boat for a loop around Marblehead and a harbor tour as the sun set. We lucked out with great light and perfect conditions for a leisurely exploration of Marblehead from the water and I came away with some of my favorite images from this one day. In fact, there were so many opportunities for shooting that I'm still finding new images to share even four years later. Today's image comes from the last loop through Marblehead Harbor. The sun was just setting and I found myself aiming the camera at [...]

Red Sky in Morning over Marblehead Rock

This Summer has flown by and my kids are both starting school today bringing an unofficial end to the best season in Marblehead. As it happened, I haven't shot a single sunrise all Summer long and so, when I saw this image of red sky in morning over Marblehead Rock, I knew I had to share it. I took this photo on October 16, 2016 but had not had a chance to share it until now. As the sunrise time finally climbs into the reasonable 6:00 hour, I'm hoping to venture out a bit more to capture the early morning [...]

Old North Church and the Harbor

Today's image comes from a trip out to Gerry Island in August 2015. I crossed the land bridge to Gerry at low tide just before sunset and as I looked back, I found this perfect composition with Old North Church rising above the houses along Doaks Lane. The boats in the water and that lone cloud in the sky made for a picture perfect scene of Little Harbor.

Keep Sailing Until the Lights are Out

In mid-June, I had gone out in hopes of capturing a nice sunset and lucked out with the view you see here. I took countless shots from above Marblehead Harbor but hadn't yet shared this one of a lone sailboat that seems happy to keep sailing until the lights are out. With the angle of the sun and clouds reflecting the colors of sunset, Marblehead harbor's waters took on a pink hue and it appears as though the sailboat is heading right to the peak of those colors. As the days start to shorten, I really need to capture a [...]

By the Light of the Moon at Pond View

This week seemed as good a time as any to share some photos of the moon in Marblehead that hadn't yet seen the light of day. Today's shot comes from September 2016 and the rise of the Harvest Moon behind Pond View at Redd's Pond. As the full moon rose, the lights at this red house all turned on and I was treated to a beautiful view of warm light shining over the still waters of the pond.

Night of the Eclipse

With a solar eclipse set to take place today (and with me having to work), I figured I could share an image of the lunar eclipse from September 2015. I had gone out on that night in the hopes of capturing the view of the Earth crossing between the sun and the moon thereby transforming the moon's color. As it happened, I captured a great image with the red moon abutting Abbot Hall but that one only came after driving all around town. My first stop that night was Chandler Hovey Park and I found an angle at which the [...]

Last Light on Abbot Hall

On August 6th, I had gone out with a particular photo in mind and was thrilled when I was able to realize it from my vantage point over Crocker Park. As the last light faded over the harbor, I turned to walk back to the car and had actually made it all the way inside before I saw pink clouds erupt overhead. I quickly jumped back out of the car, swapped batteries on the Phantom 4 Pro and took off again. This time, I stayed close to my car parked along Washington Street and found that Abbot Hall was perfectly [...]
