Through the Trees and Over the Moon

I went out tonight with a plan in mind to capture the full worm moon rising over Marblehead Neck. I arrived at my destination only to realize I had miscalculated the location of the moon rise and quickly had to change my plans. I started by heading to Fort Beach to get a sense of the moon's location and the cloud cover and then consulted an app with a particular shot in mind. This view of Abbot Hall is one I have never captured before. It was taken from immediately in front of the 7-11 at Miller's Plaza (which also [...]

Catching the Snow Moon

I shared an image of the nearly full snow moon last night taken from Fort Beach and commented that I had little hope for capturing the full moon tonight. As luck would have it, I finished up work right at 5pm and was able to make it down to the State Street Landing by 5:29pm - 4 minutes before the moonrise. I found two photographers already there ready to capture the beauty of a full moon rising over Marblehead Light and made my way a bit further down to see if I could line up this single boat out in [...]

Moonlit Reflection at Fort Beach

The unseasonably warm weather this weekend made Spring feel as though it was just around the corner. As the warm air began to give way to slightly cooler weather this week, I spotted the chance for a good sunset and decided to head out to capture the scene from Fort Sewall. Before I left, I noted that the nearly full moon was due to rise at 4:30pm (an hour before sunset) and thought I would aim for a shot of it as well since I wouldn't get the chance tomorrow night. I arrived at Fort Beach and found thick clouds [...]

The Christmas Full Moon

Last night, I shared an image of the Christmas full moon rising over Marblehead and illuminating the dinghy in Little Harbor with its perfect Christmas tree. At the time, I had said that this wasn't the shot I had intended and, maybe subconsciously, knew that I would be trying again so I titled that image A Christmas Full Moon. This image is the one I had envisioned and am so glad I headed out again tonight to capture it. After yesterday's adventure, I rechecked the time and location of tonight's moonrise and was pleased to see it would be late [...]

Perfect Night for a Moonrise

Wednesday ended up being a perfect night for a moonrise. The first hint of an orange Beaver moon erupted into the sky behind Childrens Island and continued to climb as the sun set and the night took hold. I shared one image from this evening that had immediately grabbed my eye but found two more shots to share as I worked on images on Thanksgiving. This image took place only 4 minutes before the one I shared on Wednesday night. The moon can be seen with barely any clouds obstructing the view and had nearly cleared the small hill at [...]

Life is Good – the Beaver Moon rises over Marblehead

It's been 25 days since I last took a picture of Marblehead and, in the past few days, I've started to feel the need to get out and capture a view of this town. As I mentioned in this morning's post of last month's Hunter's moon, conditions seemed good for viewing tonight's full Beaver moon rising over Marblehead and I decided to take full advantage of that. I headed out a little before 4 and had scouted out the moonrise to determine where I might have the best vantage point. The perfect location was just down the road from the [...]

Moonrise over the Causeway

The full moon is upon us again with the Beaver moon set to rise tonight around sunset. This image comes from October and features the Hunter's moonrise over the causeway. I had shared another image of this moonrise previously focusing on the causeway leading towards the large full moon. After taking that image, I headed back towards the parking lot at Devereux Beach and captured this version with the causeway's concrete wall now serving as the leading line and allowing me to featured more of the Fall foliage on Marblehead Neck. Conditions are looking good for watching the full moonrise [...]

Hunter’s Moon over the Causeway

I mentioned in yesterday's post that I hadn't captured any images of Fall foliage in Marblehead this year. As I wrote that post, I was also scouting the full Hunter's moon expected location and had an image in mind that I hoped to capture. I finished up my last note at work at 5:15pm and drove straight to Devereux Beach and the causeway. I had packed my camera and tripod that morning in case I was able to make it out on time for the 5:30pm moonrise and 5:45pm sunset. I arrived at the Devereux parking lot at a little [...]

A Seat for the Moonrise at Crocker Park

In late September, I headed out to Crocker Park to capture the moonrise. This was to be a supermoon given its proximity to Earth and the lunar eclipse was due to take place the following night. I had hoped to capture some foliage in the trees at Crocker Park to go along with the moonrise but the warm temperatures had kept the leaves from changing to their Fall colors. Instead, I sought out different compositions and ended up behind the swing bench with a nice view of Marblehead harbor still filled with boats. The moon rose a bit before sunset [...]

The Corinthian Moon

On Sunday evening, the Harvest moon was labeled as a supermoon due to its proximity to the Earth and everyone was abuzz about the total lunar eclipse that was to take place later that night. I had gone out to shoot the Harvest moon rising over Marblehead Neck the night before but it came up a bit too early for a nice golden glow to reflect off its surface. On Sunday, I knew I would go out later at night and had just put some chicken on the grill when I looked at the clear sky and made some quick [...]
