Sunset from the Boston Yacht Club

Though I haven't been out shooting much in the past few weeks, it's almost as much fun to revisit images from my archive that have yet to see the light of day. This one was taken almost exactly one year ago (June 3, 2013) shortly after I captured the Boston Yacht Club cannon firing at sunset. As I turned towards the causeway and Skinner Head, I spotted a nice cloud formation and streaks of clouds serving to accentuate the colors of sunset. Between the image from one of Marblehead's yacht clubs and the official first day of Summer having just [...]

Fire in the Sky over Devereux Beach

On January 15, a truly breathtaking sunset took shape over the Atlantic ocean and Devereux Beach. As the sun dropped below the horizon, the sky built up with color and the clouds served to reflect and accentuate the scene making it appear as though there was a fire in the sky. I have shared a wider view of this scene including the causeway and lampposts but had to share this one as well for its powerful colors.

Pink Sunset for Valentine’s Day

The February full moon (named the Snow Moon - how appropriate) was due to rise on Friday night coinciding with Valentine's Day. I was scheduled to work until 4pm and decided to throw my camera bag and tripod in the car so that I could try to get a shot of the moonrise before meeting my family for a romantic dinner at Gourmet Garden. As I drove home, I noticed clouds building and hoped they wouldn't block my view of the moonrise. Based on the projected path of the full moon, I decided to head straight to Crocker Park for [...]

Fire in the Sky over Boston

One final image to finish off this week. This is the last shot I took after the sky exploded in color on the night of January 15. I shared one shot from the causeway and have one or two others as the sky went through a gamut of colors before finally seeming to catch fire in this view of the Boston skyline. This shot was taken from the same vantage point - along the causeway - as the others and I figured a bit of fire in the sky was a suitable way to kick off the weekend.

Last Night’s Sunset – Devereux Beach, Marblehead, MA

I had another post in mind for today but then this happened and I just couldn't wait to share it. Yesterday was a good day. It began with having the cast taken off my left foot where I had broken a small bone back on December 7. The feeling of having that weight lifted (literally) was tempered as soon as I stepped on the foot and realized I now had a long way to go in getting up to speed with walking. As it happened, I had a physical therapy appointment at the JCC a few hours later that went [...]

Sunset Lights up the Boats in Marblehead Harbor

This past August featured some incredible sunsets that formed over Marblehead Harbor. I tried to capture as many as I could and was amazed at how much the colors would vary from day to day. This particular sunset took place on August 19th. I decided to shoot from the Pleon launch but, at the last minute, walked down to the float on the water to get a different vantage point. From this view at water level, the boats in Marblehead harbor took on a larger part of the composition and the light reflected deeper into the frame. I made sure [...]

Sunset Reflects in the Waters of the Forest River

I mentioned earlier today that I managed to capture the dawn and sunset on Tuesday, October 15th and thought it would be fitting to share both in a single day. As 5:30 rolled around, I stepped out, looked up at the sky and saw an incredible texture of clouds alternative with blue skies. This was a far cry from the dense cloud cover we had for much of the day. I decided to head out to Lafayette street where I had captured the dawn less than 12 hours earlier (the days really are getting shorter...) and set up for the [...]

A Line of Pleons at Sunset

Last night, I went out in hopes of catching the Full Buck Moon rising. While the full moon will be better seen tonight, I was only able to try for the shot last night. The moon rose early and right into a cloud bank so, while I came away with an okay image, it wasn't a great result. As I waited for the moon to rise, I noted some great clouds forming behind and all around me. I decided to head down to Devereux Beach once the moon was buried in the cloud bank and scout out the conditions. I [...]

Sunset from Fort Sewall Overlooking Marblehead Harbor

On the same evening that I captured an image over Gerry Island [LINK} and then the new composition of a tree at Fort Sewall [LINK], I was also treated to a remarkable sunset. I hadn't thought that the light or clouds would develop into much of a show on this outing but, as I walked back along the path toward the great tree at Fort Sewall, I noticed these great undulating clouds forming over Marblehead harbor. Knowing there was an unobstructed view to be had with a little creative fence jumping, I clambered down to a ledge and set up [...]

Anticrepuscular Rays at Sunset over Little Harbor

On July 4th, I had decided to shoot the fireworks from a new vantage point overlooking little harbor. I had been excited about a possible bonus sunset shot during the day as great big clouds kept forming overhead. Those had dissipated by sunset and I figured I would have to 'settle' for an incredible fireworks display. Beginning at 8:15pm, I started to notice a very odd triangle of light in the sky seeming to emanate from near the lighthouse. As the sun set, the triangle became rays of light that reached their peak with this image. At the time, I was floored [...]
