Bringing Marblehead into Focus

The Winter without snow continues so I have returned to the archives for another snow-covered scene. I was exploring Fort Sewall almost two years ago to the day when I noted the viewing scopes available for use. I had my longest lens on the camera as I had planned to shoot close-ups of the lighthouse. When I saw the word 'focus' imprinted on the scope, I came up with a more interesting shot. One thing a long zoom lens offers is the effect of compressing a landscape. Distant objects appear larger and closer to the foreground elements. Also, the long [...]

Fort Sewall in the Snow

One of my all time favorite images and one that I took within 6 months of moving to Marblehead. I remember we had a significant storm come through on January 18, 2009 and I made my way up to Fort Sewall to explore. The snow was wet and the air still so the tree that stands in front of the red doors still held on to much of it. The beautiful outline of the tree's bark and the red doors offering a touch of color made for a perfect scene. I have returned to Fort Sewall numerous times over the [...]

Little Harbor blanketed in snow

Here is another photo from the archive as we await the first real snow of the season. We had a fair amount of the fluffy stuff fall in 2009. This was taken in January shortly after we moved to town. I was still finding my way around and passed this scene on a drive home from old town. I stopped and grabbed my gear to capture little harbor and Brown's/Crowninshield island with wet snow clinging to the branches.

Marblehead Lighthouse in the Snow

As the last week of 2011 begins, I have pulled this photo from the archive to show a snow covered Marblehead. This was taken on December 31st, 2009 after a snow blanketed the town. I headed down to Front Street beach and was fortunate that the tide had not yet removed the snow from the nearby rocks. The holiday lights decorating the lighthouse seem to blaze in the early evening night. Happy Holidays!

A Snow Family in Snowctober

Well, we had our second snow of the season - though, I don't know if you can call Fall part of the 'snow season'. Though other parts of the state ended up with at least 6 inches, we received a tolerable few. I drove around town this morning on the hunt for foliage (which had been pretty sparse) to shoot with a backdrop of snow. I couldn't find much until the very end but did see this 'snow family' at Seaside park. I framed them under the weeping willow to highlight the very early snow as the willow hasn't even [...]

Snow at the Fort

I had a chance to walk around town this morning and was treated to some great light as I got to Fort Sewall. I've been up here countless times but never stopped to read this sign. Figured it would serve well as the centerpiece of this photo overlooking Marblehead harbor.

After the Blizzard in Marblehead

The blizzard of 2010 has come and gone leaving about 18" of snow in Marblehead. After digging out and sledding with the kids, I took a drive around town and captured these images. Technical: All taken with Canon 50D and EF-S 10-22 lens. +1 EV.
