The Corinthian Moon

On Sunday evening, the Harvest moon was labeled as a supermoon due to its proximity to the Earth and everyone was abuzz about the total lunar eclipse that was to take place later that night. I had gone out to shoot the Harvest moon rising over Marblehead Neck the night before but it came up a bit too early for a nice golden glow to reflect off its surface. On Sunday, I knew I would go out later at night and had just put some chicken on the grill when I looked at the clear sky and made some quick [...]

No Vacancies in Marblehead Harbor

Well, it's over...Summer has officially ended. I thought I would post this image captured on the morning of August 29 (taken 30 minutes after Monday's image) to commemorate the end of a picture perfect Summer in Marblehead. We couldn't have asked for better weather to make up for the historic cold and record setting snow of Winter. I figured that an image of Marblehead Harbor filled to capacity and lit by the golden glow of sunrise would make for an appropriate End of Summer image. Here's to a great Autumn.

The Boat Yard

On July 24th, I chased a rainbow and then a rain cloud before finding myself on the edge of Fort Beach Way trying to capture the last colors of sunset. The location offered a unique vantage point of the boat yard that makes up the Little Harbor boathouse. Despite this shot being taken in the midst of a picture perfect Summer, there were still a few boats to be seen dry docked in the boat yard.

Rays of Light over Marblehead Harbor

Today's image was taken on Tuesday, August 18 from the pier at the Pleon Yacht Club. I had set up early for sunset figuring the clouds in the sky might offer a decent show. As it happened, the clouds served to create these beautiful rays of light while the sun was still fairly high above the horizon. The clouds then thickened as the sun descended and caused the sunset to fizzle out. I saw the lackluster show developing and so I packed up my camera and tripod and headed to the car. It was then that I noticed the Eastern [...]

Supermoon Setting over Marblehead Harbor

What a weekend! I chased the moon quite literally from moonrise to moonset starting on Friday night and ending on Sunday morning. The sturgeon moon (as August's full moon is called) was also labeled as a supermoon for being 8% larger than a regular full moon. With that in mind, I again borrowed a super zoom in the hopes of replicating one of my all time favorite images - the supermoon setting over Abbot Hall taken in March 2011. On this occasion, the moon set proved much trickier with Saturday's descent occurring 30 minutes before sunrise and Sunday's taking place [...]

Rocky Shore of Marblehead Neck

On Wednesday, July 22nd, I had left the house in the hope of a decent sunset and ended up on the beach off Corinthian Lane. I had checked the tides before making my way and the mid-tide made this area of Marblehead Neck abutting the harbor a nice spot from which to explore multiple compositions. As I wandered down the shore, I noted a rock formation I hadn't previously explored. As the sun set, I composed an image to focus on the rocky shore (made of granite?) and include the view of Marblehead harbor filled with boats and the familiar [...]

Light at the End of the Rainbow

This is the fifth image shared from an outing on Tuesday, August 4th. I've already shared images of lightning and a sunset shot of boats in Marblehead harbor and have another image coming up on Thursday as well. It's no wonder that the site grew quickly from a weekly post to daily ones... On this day, storms kept passing through Marblehead including one at 4:30pm. With the intensity of rain and clearing skies behind it, I thought there might be a chance for a rainbow (though the sun wasn't quite low enough in the sky yet). I quickly got in [...]

Boats in the Harbor

On Tuesday, August 4th, I headed out at sunset with the hope of nice clouds and good color. As I drove across the causeway, I thought the clouds offered the best photo opportunity from Parker Lane - one of the public ways on Marblehead Neck. I pulled in and found the tide to be quite low as I descended to the small beach. For the first time, I noted that there was a rock formation at the water's edge that would allow me a closer view of the boats filling Marblehead harbor at this time of year. I carefully climbed [...]

Old North Church and the Harbor

A few weeks ago, I was scrolling through my Facebook news feed and happened upon a puzzle being sold on a local group page with a cartoonish drawing of Old North Church situated above the houses on Doaks Lane with a section of Little Harbor below. The composition was one I did not believe existed in real life but, at the first opportunity of a low tide, I decided to see just how close I could get. I headed out to Gerry Island on August 17 at sunset and walked along the sandbar that appears with each low tide. Once [...]

The Storm Cloud

On Friday, July 24th, my family and I were driving back into Marblehead from dinner in Beverly where we had barely escaped heavy rains. As we drove down Lafayette Street, I spotted an enormous rainbow taking shape over Salem Harbor and received permission to pull over and capture it (I had luckily put the camera bag and tripod in the trunk just in case). With sunset fast approaching and fearing little time to capture any other great clouds over Marblehead Harbor, I convinced my wife and kids to join me on a quick photo shoot. When I turned onto Front [...]
