State Street in the Snow

By Eyal Oren|2016-11-06T12:03:46-05:00January 25th, 2016|Categories: Snow|Tags: snow, State Street|

With snow finally on the ground, it felt appropriate to revisit some images of snow in my archive. The timing of this last snow fall and its strong winds followed by clear blue skies did not make for great photographic opportunities. Luckily, I have a fair number of snow shots from past outings that I've wanted to share. This image of State Street in the snow comes from January 24, 2015. This was an early and mild snow storm that preceded the deluge that would be the Winter of 2015. The timing of this snow fall on a Saturday morning allowed [...]

Surfing in Marblehead

By Eyal Oren|2016-11-06T12:03:46-05:00January 24th, 2016|Categories: Beach|Tags: Devereux Beach, surfing|

After the strong Winter storm came through leaving about 6 inches of snow on the ground (much better than DC's 2 feet), incredible waves formed off Devereux Beach. I had just taken the kids sledding at Seaside Park and decided to head to Devereux on a friend's recommendation who had spotted surfers in the water. We arrived and parked along the causeway as the lot was closed. The scene that awaited us was straight out of Hawaii. Huge waves, green water and surfers riding the frigid Atlantic ocean. The waves were the tallest I had ever seen in Marblehead and the [...]

Lighting Up State Street

By Eyal Oren|2016-11-06T12:03:47-05:00January 22nd, 2016|Categories: Old Town|Tags: blue hour, State Street|

This image comes one week before yesterday's and a dawn outing on State Street. The forecast for light clouds raised my hopes for a good sunrise and I set my alarm clock to try to take advantage of the conditions. I started off on State Street in the pre-dawn blue hour and found one house with holiday lights encircling the door. I moved to the edge of the sidewalk for this image of the street winding toward the harbor and the shining star hanging overhead from a crane.

Marblehead Neck under the Pink Glow of Sunset

By Eyal Oren|2016-11-06T12:03:47-05:00January 21st, 2016|Categories: Marblehead Neck|Tags: boats, houses, lighthouse, Marblehead Neck, sunset|

In mid-December, I headed out before sunset to shoot from the causeway. It was yet another warm evening in a Winter that had been seeing above normal temperatures. I started to shoot as the sun set and the sky lit up in this pastel pink color. My favorite image included this view of Marblehead Neck with working boats along the shore and scattered clouds breaking up the beautiful sky.

From the Rooftops – Pleasant Street at Dawn

By Eyal Oren|2016-11-06T12:03:47-05:00January 20th, 2016|Categories: Rooftop|Tags: dawn, Grace Community church, historic downtown, Pleasant Street, rooftop|

Can you tell that I enjoyed my time atop St. Michael's steeple? This is another image from New Years day and came as the light picked up a bit in the morning sky. I composed the image of Pleasant street at dawn to showcase Grace Community Church as well as the stores in historic downtown Marblehead. The addition of lights in some of the store windows add a warm glow to the final scene.

Buoys at Sunset

By Eyal Oren|2016-11-06T12:03:47-05:00January 19th, 2016|Categories: Sunset|Tags: Bass Rock Lane, buoys, sunset|

As New Years day came to a close, my son and I went out to capture images of the first sunset of 2016. The sun was threatening to disappear behind the building clouds so we headed to Bass Rock Lane first and I shot a few images from the rocky edge. As we walked back to the car, I spotted this familiar scene and set about to capture the colorful buoys on a small shed with the light of sunset seen in the sky and reflected in the window while a small patch of grass danced in the wind.

Abbot Hall in Dawn’s Glowing Light

By Eyal Oren|2016-11-06T12:03:48-05:00January 18th, 2016|Categories: Rooftop|Tags: Abbot Hall, dawn, rooftop|

More images from New Years day to start off this week. This was the first thing I saw when I climbed out onto the base of St. Michael's steeple to welcome 2016. Dawn's glowing light was illuminating clouds to the West and I quickly set up for an image including Abbot hall from this unique vantage point.

Causeway Sunset

By Eyal Oren|2016-01-13T10:34:42-05:00January 15th, 2016|Categories: Sunset|Tags: causeway, sunset|

New Years Day was a busy one with an outing at dawn to shoot the start of the new year and another at sunset to chase some clouds. For the sunset shoot, I had my son in tow and noticed great light developing as we neared Marblehead and approached sunset. I quickly ran into the house for my camera and out we went to chase the light. The first stop was Bass Rocks Lane (picture maybe next week) but after that I ended up on the causeway while he hung out at Devereux. I shot towards Marblehead Neck but then turned [...]

Two Lights on Christmas Day

By Eyal Oren|2016-11-06T12:03:48-05:00January 14th, 2016|Categories: Traditions|Tags: Christmas, lighthouse, Little Harbor|

Back to Christmas day and that tree in a dinghy... I've shared two images of the rare Christmas full moon silhouetting this boat and its perfectly placed and lit Christmas tree. However, while I waited for the moon to rise on Christmas day, I couldn't help but wander around the wet rocks looking for other compositions. As it happened, the lights on Marblehead Light came on at sunset as did its green beacon and I found this one spot which allowed me to line up the two lights on Christmas day. Thanks to First Harbor Company for the picture perfect [...]

Sea Smoke on Marblehead Neck

By Eyal Oren|2016-11-06T12:03:49-05:00January 13th, 2016|Categories: Marblehead Harbor|Tags: dawn, lighthouse, Marblehead Neck, sea smoke|

Here is another image from my dawn outing to capture sea smoke in Marblehead harbor. I shared a close up view of the lighthouse surrounded by the incredible image of sea smoke rising from the water last week. As the sun rose (and my time ran short - I had to be at work by 7:30am), I made my way towards the car with regular looks across the water. At 7:23am when this image was taken, the sun had finally risen in the morning sky to illuminate the clouds over Marblehead Neck. I quickly composed this shot to include the [...]
