Lines in the Sand at Devereux Beach

As I mentioned yesterday, after exploring the area around Riverhead Beach during an astronomically low tide, I walked back across the causeway and down to Devereux Beach. With such a low tide, Devereux Beach seemed to transform from its usual rocky shore to smooth sand as far as the eye could see. As the sun dipped lower in the sky and began giving off the golden glow of sunset, clouds over the water reflected that color. Between the clouds in the sky and the lines in the sand at Devereux Beach, I couldn't pass up this image facing the ocean [...]

Out for a Paddle in Marblehead Harbor

On Wednesday, July 30th I was out on the causeway waiting to cheer on a limousine as it drove around Marblehead and found myself staring at some beautiful cloud formations over Abbot Hall. By now the tower of Abbot had been adorned with a big 'M' and so I was in search of new vantage points from which to capture the school symbol and colors. As I decided on the best location for this composition, a woman got on to a stand up paddle board from Riverhead Beach and went out for a paddle in Marblehead Harbor. The water was [...]

Devereux Beach in the Fog

This seemed an appropriate image for the upcoming Labor Day weekend. Some time after capturing yesterday's image of fog, light and shadows at Old Burial Hill, I had wondered down to Devereux Beach to see if the fog offered interesting vantage points near the ocean. I found that the ocean seemed to disappear only a few feet from shore into that grey expanse and decided to set up a straight shot to accentuate the effect of the familiar beach in the fog. I waited for a wave to come ashore and captured this simple image. There was an odd glow [...]

Devereux Beach Playground in the Fog

July 21st brought with it incredibly dense fog that one local described to me as a 'smokey sou'wester'. I began photographing the fog at Grace Oliver beach and then made my way around Beacon Street. When all of those compositions were exhausted, I made my way to Devereux Beach hoping for some foggy scenes along the ocean. By the time I arrived, the sun had started to move closer to the horizon and, with the dense fog, it appeared huge in the diffused light. As I walked down the beach, I spotted this backlit scene of the Devereux Beach playground [...]

Heron at Sunset at Wyman Cove

I mentioned in yesterday's post that I had only learned about Wyman Cove recently and had decided to make my way there on Tuesday, June 17 at sunset to see what compositions might result. As I reached the end of the path leading to Wyman Cove, I stood and took in this scene before me. The grass formed a great frame for the scene with private piers poking out to the right. A wooded section of Salem can be seen beyond the water and the light was reflecting beautifully off the still waters in Salem harbor. I had to wait [...]

The Road to Wyman Cove

On Tuesday, June 17, I headed out of the house at 7:30pm to chase after some promising clouds and hoped for a solid sunset. I knew that I wanted to shoot looking out toward Salem Harbor as I hadn't been on that side of Marblehead for a sunset since my outing at Rockett Landing a few weeks earlier. I also had been told about an area called Wyman Cove that I had never seen on a map and thus had never thought to look for previously. I made my way along the road to Wyman Cove and all the way [...]

Fort Beach in the Blue Hour

Last night felt like the first of many great Summer nights to come. The temperatures had soared during the day and I had noticed promising clouds as the kids' bedtime approached. After reading to my son, I took a look out the window and figured I would head out to try to capture an image of the sun setting. I started off at Rockett Landing off Village street and was very happy with the way the light reflected off the clouds overhead and the waters of Salem harbor. That image needs another day or so of work so I opted [...]

Sunset over Riverhead Beach

Riverhead beach feels like the Rodney Dangerfield of Marblehead's beaches - 'No Respect'. With its location directly across Ocean Avenue from Devereux Beach, it is often overlooked by beach-goers. Riverhead beach does offer a number of opportunities that its big brother across the road cannot - calm waters, a launch for boats and abundant sea glass. Its coast is also filled with S curves that make for some great compositions. This image was captured on the last day of November in 2013. I was out chasing the clouds you see featured prominently in the sky when I decided on this [...]

The Rocks at Devereux Beach

This image was taken at Devereux Beach on May 4, 2011 - a mere two weeks from today's date. This cold spell in the midst of Spring has likely kept many from imagining scenes such as this so I thought the view of waves coming up to the rocky shore at Devereux Beach would serve as a nice reminder of days to come.

Waves Coming Ashore at Mooring Road

I developed a bit of an obsession with the pier at Mooring Road in 2011. I had first discovered the pier in April 2011 and this image is one of the first I captured on that day. I would return in the early Winter to explore the pier jutting out from the road in one of my favorite long exposure images later that year. As we approach three years since capturing this images of waves coming ashore as seen from the pier at Mooring Road, I thought it was a great opportunity to finally share the shot. Click below for all [...]
