Low Tide in Marblehead – Clouds over the Causeway

With images of Devereux Beach at low tide captured, I walked back up to (and on top of) the causeway. I started taking photos of those same golden clouds from yesterday's image and was reasonably happy with the results. Then, as the sun dipped below the horizon, the colors in the sky began to change to pink and a perfect cloud formed directly over Marblehead Neck with the causeway forming a beautiful leading line directly into it. I widened my composition to include the whole of the Neck with Marblehead Light viewable in the far left and sought to capture [...]

The Cranes at Sunset overlooking Marblehead Harbor

You know you are dealing with an incredible sunset when a pair of cranes grab your attention and become the focal point of an image. I had never imagined taking a picture of the two cranes that stand at the end of this pier off Foster Street but then I never saw light as incredible as on this Wednesday evening. With the low-lying fog bank on Marblehead Harbor and the explosion of colors overhead, I kept moving from one spot to the next trying to capture the incredible light before me. As I moved to cross from one side to [...]

A Natural Infinity Pool on Marblehead Neck

In the Summer of 2013, we were invited to a certain house on the neck being rented by friends (now neighbors). It was actually our second time to this property on Fishing Point Lane and so I made sure to bring my camera as I had spied some interesting possibilities on our last time out. As the kids clambered on rocks, I wandered the property and found this shallow pool of water overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and Tinker's Island in the distance. At the right angle, the small collection of water took on the appearance of a natural infinity pool [...]

Looking South at Dawn from Castle Rock

The morning of February 19th turned out to be quite a productive one with a wide range of images taken from the snow covered area around Castle Rock. After the sun rose, I moved to the edge of Castle Rock and looked down onto the private beach that lines this section of Marblehead Neck. The tide was at a perfect height with just enough beach to form a divide between the ocean and snow covered land. The soft orange glow of dawn can be seen accentuating the few clouds in the sky and the moon is visible in the upper [...]

Dawn from Castle Rock

The past few weeks have been filled with a dizzying array of emotions - from joy to stress, exhaustion to exhilaration, and finally gratitude. The book is now firmly on the road to being made and it's time to get back to our regularly scheduled programming... I struggled with the choice of an image for today. As beautiful as snow can be, I am just so tired of this long, cold winter. I thought about bringing out a spring or summer image but that felt almost cruel - holding out hope of warmth as the weather reports predict more cold [...]

Capturing the Sunset and Boston Skyline

At the end of November, I left the house before sunset in hopes of capturing some nice evening light. In the hour of shooting, I would come away with eight images to share. And yet, this is the first one I have posted to the site. I started off capturing some great pink/purple clouds over the harbor and then crossed the causeway as the sun was setting to see if the light might be right for an image from the small (unnamed) park and bench at the start of Marblehead Neck. Before I made it to the park though, I [...]

A View of Boston from Marblehead Neck

This view really never gets old. Though I have photographed it previously under different conditions (most recently with turquoise waters - LINK), I couldn't help but pull over on Ocean Avenue on Marblehead Neck when the clouds began to reflect the light of sunset on this mid-August night. The small beach offered just enough of a foreground element to ground the scene and instruct the viewer that this view of Boston was from Marblehead Neck.

Fall Colors on Marblehead Neck

October brought with it cool nights and changing colors to the trees in Marblehead. I would go out periodically looking for new vantage points from which to capture those beautiful Fall colors. On this early October night, I had decided to check some spots on Marblehead Neck. As I drove across the causeway, I noticed this scene flash by and decided to pull over to capture it. While the colors in the trees weren't quite at peak, I was worried some coming storms might lead to a very quick and abrupt leaf loss. The relatively calm waters helped me capture [...]

All Along the Causeway

I shared an image of the sunset over Marblehead Harbor on Tuesday that came from a shoot on August 19th. This image was taken about an hour earlier and it seemed like a good time to share it as well. I've taken very few images from the small park that stands on the Marblehead Neck side of the causeway. It is a great spot with views of the ocean and Boston (on a clear day) and has nice benches that seem to beg visitors to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet. While there, I noticed the interesting lines that [...]

Huey and Louie Visit the Eastern Yacht Club

I mentioned on Tuesday's post that we had a lot of rain in early September and otherwise boring gray skies. The day after I ventured out to shoot at Cove Lane (and it started to rain minutes after that shot was taken by the way), I discovered that there was dense fog to be found in the harbor. I started shooting at Riverhead beach and slowly made my way out to Marblehead Neck again. This time, I stopped in along Foster Street and made my way down to the Pleon pier. As I looked around, I found these two rowboats [...]
