Over the Rainbow

The same storm that brought about the reflection shots of the lighthouse also produced a rainbow over Children's Island. I had raced out of the house after the storm blew by in hopes of catching a rainbow and got to the parking lot at Chandler Hovey park just as the sun peeked through the clouds. The location of the rainbow was perfect - it was an unusually flat one likely due to the angle of the sun - and neatly covered Children's Island. The rainbow lasted only a few minutes and I felt lucky to have captured it.

The Rocks at Chandler Hovey Park

Another photo while waiting for a recent time lapse to finish. While exploring the coast and the crevices that mark it, I noticed the golden light that was falling on these rocks. By chance, a sailboat was positioned at just the right spot to lead the eye from the waters below up to the top of the image. The sails caught the setting light and I knew I had a perfect Summer photo of Marblehead.

The Brick Oil House at Chandler Hovey Park

Yesterday's Reflection shot was taken while my older camera was shooting a time lapse movie of the sun setting over the harbor. While waiting for it to finish, I wandered around Chandler Hovey park looking for compositions and angles that I hadn't yet shot. I noticed the sun setting over the brick oil house that used to power Marblehead Light and decided to close down the aperture and turn the bright sun into a sunstar. Having the tree there helped add to the composition as did the full harbor.

Two Stars from the Base of the Lighthouse

This photo was taken the same day that I captured the cliff jumpers at Crocker park. As I mentioned there, it was a hot July 4th weekend in Marblehead and I found myself with some time at sunset. I wasn't sure what to expect as the clouds had started to come in but made my way to Chandler Hovey park. I had always shot the lighthouse from afar in hopes of capturing it in its entirety. On this occasion, I was drawn to the red door at its base. I love the texture of the paint of the door and [...]

Purple Dawn

Awoke Saturday at 5:30 with the goal of shooting the sunrise from the Neck and, with any luck, the setting Harvest Moon over Abbot hall. Dawn turned out to be very nice as was the brilliant sunrise at Castle Rock. Have a number of keepers from the morning and will post them each day this week. The moon, unfortunately, disappeared into morning clouds. For a few hours though, I had the entirety of Chandler Hovey park to myself...it made for a great start to the day. Technical: Canon 50D and EF-S 10-22 with B+W 10-stop ND filter. Four minute exposure.
