Crashing Surf at Castle Rock

On Wednesday, March 2nd, a brief but strong rainstorm swept through Marblehead. As it left, the sky began to clear and I noted some interesting low clouds skirting above the horizon. Though I had been fighting a cold for a few days, I decided I had to get out of the house and see if I could find any nice compositions with the rapidly changing light. As tends to be the case, I couldn't stop at just one spot and so, between 11am and 12:15pm, I shot at Fountain Park, various spots along Little Harbor and Doliber Cove, before finishing [...]

Marblehead Neck under the Pink Glow of 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.

Swirling Water at Castle Rock

This seemed like a good image to end the week on. Captured on a foggy day in May 2012, I tried to time the exposure to include a wave coming to shore and swirling around one of the rocks on the beach at Castle Rock.

The Rain Cloud over Marblehead Neck

I've shared a few different images on this rain cloud that entered the skies over Marblehead on July 24, 2015. It really was a sight to see and, when the sun set and added a golden glow to the structure, I couldn't help but capture it from every possible angle. This view offers a glimpse of the rain cloud hovering over Marblehead Neck and given a sense of scale to the cloud.

Light up the Lighthouse

Today's images come from Christmas Eve 2011. I had gone out that evening (if you can consider 4:00pm evening that is) in order to shoot Marblehead Light lit up for the holidays. I had captured a few images of the lights dangling from atop the lighthouse the previous year but had a few more images in mind. Little did I know that this would be the best presentation of lights I would see (they seem to have dimmed significantly in each of the past few years). What's interesting is that I captured one image at the peak of sunset and, [...]

Open Seating for Watching the Ocean

In August 2012, I was able to realize the goal of shooting the Lipton Tea House on Marblehead Neck. Once finished with that incredible structure, I was invited by the owner to photograph other locations on the beautifully manicured grounds abutting the Atlantic Ocean. I found this Adirondack chairs perfectly positioned for watching the ocean and went about figuring out possible compositions. As you can see by the strong shadows, the sun was nearly overhead at this point which made for less than ideal conditions. I hope the final image conveys both the luxury of being able to sit in [...]

Old Glory and the Corinthian

On the same night in which I captured an image of rocks along this section of Marblehead Neck abutting the harbor, I found a number of other interesting compositions. This one was taken just a few minutes earlier when I made my way past a private pier and noticed Old Glory flying high overhead. As I looked around for a composition, I found this spot where the Corinthian Yacht Club can be seen through the pylons of the pier and its flag can just be made out juxtaposed with Old Glory. The flying flag and warm light convey the heat [...]

Purple Sky over Castle Rock

I mentioned in Tuesday's post that I had taken a number of images on August 4th - this is one that I almost missed! I was set up for sunset at Parker Lane happily shooting boats in Marblehead harbor perched on a rock when I started to wonder if the sunset might fizzle out. The sky before me was looking less impressive and I happened to look back to compare when I spotted a growing mass of purple sky overhead. I quickly hopped off the rock and raced to my car with an immediate thought of heading to Castle Rock. [...]

Rocky Shore of Marblehead Neck

On Wednesday, July 22nd, I had left the house in the hope of a decent sunset and ended up on the beach off Corinthian Lane. I had checked the tides before making my way and the mid-tide made this area of Marblehead Neck abutting the harbor a nice spot from which to explore multiple compositions. As I wandered down the shore, I noted a rock formation I hadn't previously explored. As the sun set, I composed an image to focus on the rocky shore (made of granite?) and include the view of Marblehead harbor filled with boats and the familiar [...]

Streaks of Clouds over Marblehead Neck

Having gone out to shoot on June 21st (the three posts shared this week) and June 22nd (the incredible aurora borealis shared last week), I decided to take the day off on June 23rd. Well, that turned out to be a huge mistake as a beautiful sunset filled the night sky with incredible colors. Though I tried to talk myself out of it, I promptly went out again on June 24th to 'make-up' for missing such a great show. This time I headed to the causeway and parked along the Neck before walking back toward Devereux Beach. I always underestimate [...]
