Flying through the Sea Smoke

Back to the morning of January 4th and the awesome experience of capturing sea smoke rising off the Atlantic Ocean from Devereux Beach. I had captured the sunrise over Tinker's Island at this point but the increasing angle of sunlight was backlighting the sea smoke and making for an even more impressive display. I tried to time the shots to the waves coming to shore and loved this particular image for the lobster trap encircled by water and the sea gulls that can be seen flying through the sea smoke. As incredible cold as it was that morning, it was [...]

Sea Smoke – Cold Dawn on Devereux Beach

Saturday morning brought truly arctic temperatures to Marbleheadwith measurements of 2 F (before the wind chill). I drove around Marblehead Neck to find the best examples of sea smoke coming off the relatively balmy Atlantic Ocean waters and decided the best view could be had from the causeway near Devereux Beach. I started shooting at dawn when the light cloud cover erupted in pink hues before the sun rose and lit the whole sky in a fiery red (I shared that image yesterday). I sought to include as much of Devereux Beach and the Neck with Tinker's Island out in [...]

The Beach at Castle Rock

This image of the small beach at Castle Rock comes from early October when I had started my search for foliage in Marblehead. I was able to grab a shot of the maple tree at Gatchell park and the just-turning leaves along Marblehead Neck before driving to Castle Rock. The sky was filled with clouds and a few boats could be seen in the distance leaving me to set up and grab this image just as a wave crested and reached the shore.

The Surfer on Devereux Beach

On November 3rd, the same night during which I captured the causeway and harbor under great light and a clammer in the ocean, I also found this guy surfing in the waters off Devereux Beach. As he came out of the water around sunset, I found the human element added greatly to the view of Marblehead Neck beyond. I captured this frame with the surfboard parallel to the ground and reflecting some light which helped focus the viewers eye on the relatively small surfer and thereby add a sense of scale to the scene beyond. With the waves, great low-lying [...]

Clamming on Devereux Beach at Sunset

On November 3rd, I had decided to try to capture one of the incredible strings of sunsets that had been forming (and that I had been missing for various reasons). I followed the clouds to Devereux Beach and managed to capture a nice scene of Marblehead Neck with fall colors on the trees. If you missed it, click here [LINK]. After capturing that image, I turned and noted someone in the waters off Devereux Beach. It took me a minute to see that he was busy clamming in the Atlantic Ocean and only a few more minutes to realize how [...]

Summer Swim Under the Light of the Moon

As the days get cooler, I can't let go of these Summer images. This particular one came from mid-July when I was fortunate to capture great wispy clouds reflecting the pink light of sunset over Devereux Beach. The ocean was warm enough at this point for people to be captured in silhouette swimming in the waters. Can't really beat the feeling of a warm Summer night spent at Devereux Beach.

Rays of Light over Goldthwait Beach

Continuing with the great light featured this week, this is a shot from the afternoon of Sept 13th. Storms seem to be missing us to the north and south on this particular day and I headed out in hopes of capturing the storms from a distance. I started off at Devereux Beach where I shot under the cover of the picnic table structure. The clouds kept forming and braking and, at this point, broke at just the right spot to let in the rays of light from the sun. You can just make out a spot of blue sky above [...]

Riverhead Beach and the Causeway

I haven't shared a black and white image in quite some time and found this one waiting in the queue so thought it was a perfect opportunity to bring it out. This image was taken on Sept 2nd at 7:50am. This was a period of rain and fog which alternated between boring grey and beautiful moments of light. On this particular morning, the sky seemed to be clearing so I headed out to try to capture some of that nice light. As I drove, the light seemed to be best to the east and I ended up on Ocean Avenue [...]

Heading Down to Gas House Beach

The morning of June 12th ended up being a very busy one and would result in a number of different images being shared on this site. I started with a shot of the harbor at dawn and then made my way around to State Street Landing followed by a stop at Little Harbor. Below you can see the other images shared from this single morning's outing. By the time I reached this spot at Gas House Lane, the sun had climbed a fair amount but the clouds continued to diffuse the light. I found this kayak holder that had left [...]

Life’s A Beach in Marblehead, MA

As the nights get colder and the air dryer, thoughts start to turn from Summer toward the coming Fall. I thought I would start the week with an image that seems to toe the line between the two seasons with this foggy day at Devereux Beach. This image was taken on August 9th (the same day that I shot the lifeguard chair from last week and two nice soft sunset shots yet to be shared). At this point, the fog had started to roll in and the setting sun lent some nice coloring to the low lying clouds. I walked [...]
