A Sailing Town at Sunset

Marblehead has been called many things but it is most certainly a sailing town and all its residents know of the old refrain - Red Sky at Night, Sailors Delight. On a late September evening, I was treated to an incredible sunset from my spot on Corinthian Lane. The colors built from an initially foggy yellow to orange then purple and finally this red sky at night. It wasn't until 20 minutes after the sun set that the colors in the sky began to fade and I packed up for the night. Hope you enjoy this view of our sailing [...]

Sunset Colors can Change in a Minute (or Five)

One of the good (or bad) results of a successful outing in Marblehead is coming back with far more than one image to share. Especially in the Summer, sunset colors can change in a minute (or five) and result in very different images despite similar compositions. Such was the case on July 18. I had made my way to a favorite spot on Parker Lane for what turned out to be a beautiful sunset and immediately shared a panorama view that took in the entirety of the harbor from my vantage point as well as clouds overhead reflecting the colors [...]

Night on the Neck

Phew! If you've been wondering why my posts tapered off and became non-existent in the past week, it was because I was studying during any free time I had for my Boards exam. Every 10 years, physicians need to 'certify' (their words) that we are staying up to date on the practice of medicine by sitting for an examination. In my case, the American Board of Allergy and Immunology put together 200 questions to be answered in a span of 4 hours covering the full breadth of what I do day in and day out. I took the opportunity to listen [...]

Fire in the Sky

Tonight, I was fortunate to capture one of the most incredible displays of color and light as a fire in the sky marked one of the last sunsets of this Summer in Marblehead. I had missed out on last night's sunset and was jealous of the shots populating my Facebook and Instagram feeds. As sunset approached and the air picked up humidity, I decided to head out hoping for a decent showing. I drove across the causeway and stopped along Foster Street to assess the position of the sun in the sky. From there, I headed over to Corinthian Lane and [...]

Sunset Glow over Marblehead Harbor

The soft glow of sunset bathes boats moored in Marblehead Harbor. Image taken on August 27th and is the third image I've shared from this beautiful Summer sunset. *Photos will continue but descriptions may be sparse until Sept 28 as I am studying for the Allergy and Immunology Board exam which we need to take every 10 years

Last Rays of Light over Marblehead Harbor

Today's image comes from the end of August and a trip to the float at the end of the Pleon Yacht Club's pier. I had gone out in hopes of nice sunset colors as a mild storm developed after what had been an unusually dry and warm Summer. As the waters of Marblehead harbor were relatively calm, I tried my hand at shooting from water level and getting this unique view of boats moored in the harbor. As the sun dipped lower in the horizon, I composed this image to capture the last rays of light over Marblehead Harbor with [...]

Motoring through Marblehead Harbor

The pier at the Pleon Yacht Club is one of my favorite spots for capturing a Marblehead sunset as it offers a clear view towards both Abbot Hall and our lighthouse with various compositions of boats to be found in between. On Saturday night, I headed to this spot a little before sunset as the clouds built up at the end of the day and held the promise of some nice light. I shot from the float on the water until the sun dipped below the horizon and then made my way back up the ramp for a few final [...]

Purple Fog in Marblehead

For today's image we return to the night of July 5th and the incredible display of fog that descended on Marblehead harbor as sunset approached. This was the last of several images captured in the span of an hour while running around Chandlery Hovey Park exploring compositions. At this point, the sun had slipped behind the tree line and the sky took on the color of purple fog. I composed this image to include the boats moored near the mouth of the harbor and caught a small Townie class boat heading in using what little wind afforded them some semblance [...]

Sun Circle Sunset

I've visited the sun circle at Preston Beach countless times and have tried to find interesting compositions to showcase its design. After shooting the brilliant sunset at Preston on July 23rd, I headed back to the car but stopped short as I walked up the path and came up to the sun circle. I noted the still peaking sunset colors perfectly positioned for a different vantage point than prior attempts and set up for the shot. I decided on a vertical orientation in order to fit the full height of the sun circle columns while including as much of the [...]

Framing the Sunset on Parker Lane

On Monday July 18th, I had returned home from work to find that my kids had been invited out for dinner and my wife was holding down the fort. We had a few thunderstorms pass to the north and south earlier in the day and another band was making its way but likely would break up before dropping any rain (the story of this Summer). With no kids to take care of, I decided to run out and see if the coming storm might mean some good light at sunset. As I drove, I checked the clouds on either side [...]
