The Boat Ramp in Barnegat

This was the first stop I made last Wednesday as a storm passed Marblehead and left behind incredible light. I had seen this scene develop from the comforts of my home thanks to the First Harbor webcam and quickly jumped into my car and headed down to this area known to locals as Barnegat. At this point, the sky overhead was still grey and the best light could be seen close to the horizon and over Gerry Island with Marblehead Light in the distance. I parked near Marblehead Lobster Company and explored a few compositions before deciding on this one. [...]

Grounded on Fisherman’s Beach

Here is another image from my wanderings on Wednesday, March 2nd. I shared an image from my last stop - Castle Rock - yesterday. This image was from the middle of my journey chasing some great light after a rainstorm. I had been shooting at Doliber Cove under cloudy skies when the light finally broke through and I manage to get a few shots I was pleased with. Having done so, I walked back to the car which was parked across the street from this spot. My eyes quickly snagged on the bright orange boat grounded on Fisherman's Beach and I [...]

Waves Roll in to Little Harbor

While I've shared a few images from the night of February 21st, this spot is where I spent the majority of the evening. It had been another of the 50+ degree days that seemed to fill most of this Winter and I had left for Fort Sewall to capture the sunset. On arriving at the Fort, I decided to walk to its far side and found wave after wave coming into Little Harbor between Fort Sewall and Gerry Island. As it was low tide, rocks dotted the foreground below and one patch of ice clung to the rocks facing open [...]

A Christmas Full Moon

The first Christmas full moon in nearly 40 years rose tonight over Marblehead and I had envisioned an image of the small dinghy in Little Harbor with its Christmas Tree as a perfect foreground for the shot. As the fog and cloudy skies of this morning finally broke at 2pm, I started to wonder if I might actually be able to capture a shot of the Christmas full moon. I headed to Beacon Street and the Marblehead Lobster Company where I set up my camera and waited. As I watched the darkening sky for any hint of the Christmas full [...]

Still Water in Little Harbor

Today's image comes from July 18 and a trip to Gerry Island. Low tide occurred as the sun set and I headed over to the land bridge connecting Gerry Island to the mainland in hopes of a decent sunset. Ironically, this image captures the spot from which I took Tuesday's image of sunset over Little Harbor. While great clouds and light never materialized, the still water in Little Harbor served as a perfect mirror to reflect the houses of Fort Sewall Lane.

The Boat Yard

On July 24th, I chased a rainbow and then a rain cloud before finding myself on the edge of Fort Beach Way trying to capture the last colors of sunset. The location offered a unique vantage point of the boat yard that makes up the Little Harbor boathouse. Despite this shot being taken in the midst of a picture perfect Summer, there were still a few boats to be seen dry docked in the boat yard.

Gerry and Brown’s Islands under a Cloud Filled Sky

As the unofficial last week of Summer comes to a close (school starts next week!!!), I wanted to share an image that might transport you to a warm and happy place. This image of Gerry and Brown's Islands was taken on Wednesday, August 5th at 2pm. While I tend to shoot in the early morning hours or much later in the day, I decided to head out when I spotted cumulous clouds in the sky for just this type of image. Shooting in mid-day can be harder with harsh light and no shadows but, with the right amount of clouds [...]

Old North Church and the Harbor

A few weeks ago, I was scrolling through my Facebook news feed and happened upon a puzzle being sold on a local group page with a cartoonish drawing of Old North Church situated above the houses on Doaks Lane with a section of Little Harbor below. The composition was one I did not believe existed in real life but, at the first opportunity of a low tide, I decided to see just how close I could get. I headed out to Gerry Island on August 17 at sunset and walked along the sandbar that appears with each low tide. Once [...]

Walking on Water in Little Harbor

In early December 2011, I was at Fort Sewall shooting Marblehead Light and the harbor when I walked around to the North side with views of Gerry Island. I spotted two people making their way across Little Harbor via the land bridge that connects the island to land at low tide. As the tide had come in at this point, the land bridge seemed to have disappeared and the people seemed to be walking on water. It's such a unique site seen from afar but, in the Summer, this is a fairly regular occurrence as most people who make their [...]

Sunlight through the Windshield at Little Harbor

This image comes from a dawn photo shoot in early October. I had decided to shoot in the area around Little Harbor on this particular morning as I had noticed a few trees starting to show their Fall colors. Though the trees were far from peak, the combination of morning light and clouds added up to a strong outing. At this point, the sun had risen high enough to cast its light over Brown's Island. The small boat had rotated so that the sunlight could be seen shining through the windshield and I captured this image to include the boat [...]
