Rainbow over the Ocean at Devereux Beach

We had a great fast storm roll through on Friday with lightning and rain. I arrived home from work just as the storm passed and ran inside to grab my camera. I headed straight to Devereux hoping to catch a rainbow (though I had my doubts as the sun hadn't yet popped up from behind the clouds). As I drove into the parking lot, this is the sight I beheld. A beautiful rainbow in the distance and an empty beach with great clouds and distant rain. I jumped out of the car and ran down to the water. I snagged [...]

Green Moss in the Blue Hour

I mentioned the blue hour in a recent image and explained that the quality of light during this time can be really magical. The easier of the blue hours to photograph is the evening one owing to the much more reasonable timing of it. I went out last week to shoot at sunset and continued to shoot well into the blue hour. I noticed the low tide as I crossed the causeway and ended up taking two photos from the Marblehead Neck side. In this image, you can see the moss covered rocks which carry an eerie glow in this [...]

Riding the Chair Swing at the Devereux Carnival

The carnival has come and gone but not before I managed a few new images of the fun. I had this image in mind as soon as the first postings went up about the carnival coming back to Devereux beach. Unfortunately rain and fog interfered with those plans - that is until the very last day. On Sunday, I returned to the carnival grounds after spending $40 in 1 hour with the kids and set up for this shot. The carnival was getting ready to close and the crowd thinning out. There were only two kids on the chair swing [...]

In the Blue Hour at Devereux Beach

The blue hour (which often lasts minutes rather than a full hour) is found between the darkness of twilight and the light of dawn. It occurs again after sunset but before full dusk. It's a great time to be out shooting and, on this particular day, I had decided to venture down to Devereux beach. The original plan for this morning was to chase the supermoon setting but those clouds near the horizon spoiled that plan. Instead I found myself on the beach at low tide with the sand still wet and forming a beautifully reflective surface. I managed a [...]

From the Rooftops – Devereux Beach Carnival

The Senior High Carnival took place on Devereux Beach a bit earlier this year and, as expected, it rained...and rained. From Thursday through Saturday we had either rain, thick fog or just raw conditions that made for less than ideal conditions for a carnival. But, as in every other year, we got one perfect day on Sunday and the place was mobbed. I burned through $40 in under an hour but the smiles on my kids' faces was worth it. They didn't realize it but I pocketed 4 tickets and came back in the late afternoon to take a ride [...]

Long Exposure – The Grate at Preston Beach

So I seemed to have mixed up my days this week - From the Rooftops (well, from the air) was posted on Tuesday instead of Thursday so I'm swapping in a Long Exposure today (which normally would go on the Tuesday)... With that figured out, on to today's image. Back in mid-February, we had a warm spell and I was just getting the hang of these long exposure images. I was waiting for high tide around sunset and was rewarded on this day with those conditions and just enough clouds in the sky to make that interesting. I set up [...]

Clamming at Dawn

I had to get up early on Friday morning for an electronic medical record meeting at a local hospital. As I got dressed and ready for the day, I looked at the window and saw an incredible display of pinks and purples lighting up the sky. I decided to postpone breakfast and raced downstairs, grabbed the always ready camera bag and drove. I wasn't sure where I was going but found myself on Atlantic Avenue headed toward Ocean Ave. The light was starting to fade as I pulled up to Devereux beach and jumped out of the car. There was [...]

Waves coming to shore at Devereux Beach

It felt like the first day of Summer yesterday and a picture of Devereux beach at sunset seemed the perfect choice for today. This was actually taken in early December when sunset's are earlier but tend to be made up for with longer light. The waves were coming to shore with those picture perfect white frothy crests and I timed it so that I caught an incoming wave at its peak. Enjoy and, if the weather holds up, head down to the beach today.

Foggy Sunset over Devereux Beach

November 27th was a special night as far as photography is concerned. It was the night that I captured a couple walking in the fog on the causeway - which has been one of my favorite (and most popular) images on the site*. As I headed out that evening aware of the coming fog, I first stopped at Devereux beach where the sunset was unfolding. I had never witnessed a foggy sunset before and the colors were truly remarkable. Enjoy this calm scene. *I have the photo of the lampposts in the fog printed (very) large and ready to show [...]

Feel the Waves at Devereux Beach

Nothing tells the story of this Winter better than this photo of waves coming to shore at Devereux Beach. It was early December and unusually mild on this Winter day. I had planned to shoot the lights at Old Town House but still had some daylight to kill so I headed down to the beach. I took a few images of the setting sun but couldn't resist turning the camera toward the ocean and photographing the coming waves. I got hit by a later wave and the cold brought me back to reality in a hurry but, for a minute, [...]
