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

Bertha under the Harvest Moon

My son and I went out to watch the Harvest Moon rise tonight over Marblehead. I've shot the Harvest Moon several times and always favored a composition including the lighthouse. Today, I decided to head down Beacon Street and shoot the full moon as it rose over Gerry Island, Childrens Island and boats moored in Little Harbor. Despite some haze at the horizon, the full Harvest Moon was a brilliant sight to behold. I composed this image to include the working boat Bertha in the frame. I've got a panorama of the full scene below.

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 [...]

Sunset at Parker Lane

We were having a fairly quiet Saturday night and had little to eat in the house so orders were called in to Junji for sushi and Marblehead House of Pizza for a small pie. As I looked at the sky starting to pick up the first colors of sunset, I quickly volunteered to pick up the food and knew just the spot to spend the 15-20 minute wait while the food was prepared. Parker Lane is the first public way on Marblehead Neck as you cross the causeway and has become a go-to spot on many evenings. I pulled up [...]

Storm in the Harbor

After capturing images of surfers at Devereux Beach and then crossing over the causeway to shoot crashing waves at Crocker Park, I circled around Marblehead Neck to the secret beach on Cove Lane to view the storm in the harbor. I noted a lone sailboat fighting against the wind and waves and then turned toward the main part of the harbor to find boats being lifted up on whitecaps as their ropes pulled taut against moorings. This shot captured one boat being lifted in the air at the crest of a small wave as the Old North Church and houses [...]

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 [...]

Diving at Dusk

On Wednesday night, I had headed out to Crocker Park as sunset neared hoping for some good light to shine behind Abbot Hall. While the light built up to a peak looking back toward town, I kept looking over my shoulder at the developing golden glow on Marblehead Harbor. As the sunset cannons fired, I raced to the spot from which I could capture the boats reflecting the beautiful glow of sunset with a hint of pink-purple in the night sky. As soon as I reached my spot for this composition, I spotted a dad and his kids taking turns jumping [...]

Abbot through the Trees

On July 1st, I headed to Marblehead Neck on a commissioned shoot to photograph a grand home on Harbor Avenue. I walked the grounds with the home's owners (and their dog) and found a number of great views of the house and surroundings as I explored the property. When I turned the corner and saw this view of Abbot through the trees, I knew I couldn't leave without capturing this image. I ran back to the car for my longer lens and set up for this view of Abbot Hall with boats moored in the harbor all framed by trees [...]

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 [...]
