Calm Waters in Marblehead Harbor

This seemed like a good photo to finish off the week and get the long weekend off to a nice start. I shared two images from this vantage point already - the Harvest Moon and the 116 Megapixel panorama that immediately preceded it. While I was at this unique spot overlooking the perfectly calm waters in Marblehead Harbor, I couldn't help by shoot all the compositions that came to mind as the sun set and the pink colors of sunset reflected off the water. I don't often shoot verticals - especially when the horizontal offers so much more to take [...]

Marblehead Harbor Under a Beautiful Sky

Do you remember that Storm Chasing image I shared in mid-September? This is what I had been after that day. Great cumulus clouds were forming over Marblehead Harbor and I drove out to try to capture the scene of the harbor filled with boats under a beautiful sky. By the time I reached this spot, the clouds seemed to be chased by rapidly darkening sky. I only managed two frames before the darkness caught up to and seemed to consume these fluffy white clouds. I wasn't long before I would race out to Chandler Hovey Park and capture the storm [...]

Sunset over Marblehead Harbor – A Panorama

I'm catching up on photos on this grey, rainy Sunday and found a set of 15 vertical images I took immediately before the Harvest Moon rose on September 19th. Here is the stitched panorama which weighs in at 116 Megapixels.

Seagull at Dawn in Marblehead Harbor

I spent all of last week sharing images of a great dawn over Marblehead Harbor during which the fog gradually thickened as the sun rose. Once the sun rose high enough in the sky, I sought out compositions to take advantage of the great diffused red light that bathed the harbor and boats. This was one such scene. I was reasonable happy with the composition at first but felt it was missing something. Then, as if drawn by an artist's eye, this lone seagull swooped in to just about the perfect spot in the frame. For such an ugly bird, [...]

Heading Down to Gas House Beach

The morning of June 12th ended up being a very busy one and would result in a number of different images being shared on this site. I started with a shot of the harbor at dawn and then made my way around to State Street Landing followed by a stop at Little Harbor. Below you can see the other images shared from this single morning's outing. By the time I reached this spot at Gas House Lane, the sun had climbed a fair amount but the clouds continued to diffuse the light. I found this kayak holder that had left [...]

Foggy Morning in Marblehead Day 5 – Fort Beach and Fort Sewall

An hour and a half after starting this photo shoot on a foggy morning, I finally tore myself away from Marblehead Harbor and drove off in search of other vantage points. I made my way down Front Street and ended up at Fort Beach facing the head of the harbor and Fort Sewall. The sky had taken on an orange hue at this point and the fog remained thick. I composed this scene to include the tide pools seen at low tide along Fort Beach while also including the great tree at Fort Sewall and the boats moored in the [...]

The Harvest Moon rises over Marblehead Harbor

The Harvest Moon was due to rise tonight and I had been racking my head trying to decide on a new vantage point from which to capture the year's best full moon. Last year, I had taken an image from Crocker Park and lucked out as the tree there had just started to change color owing to an early cold snap. This year, I planned to include more of the harbor and figured on shooting from the State Street Landing. I circled twice to find parking and finally had to stop in the Crosby's lot (shhh...don't tell). I then walked [...]

Foggy Morning in Marblehead Day 4 – Feeling Lucky

Day 4 of this week's posts all coming from the same foggy morning in Marblehead. I mentioned before that these images were taken on September 11th which ended up being a 90 degree day and I headed out that morning at dawn hoping for a good sunrise. As you saw in the posts earlier this week, both dawn and the sunrise were worth the few hours lost sleep. As the sun rose, the fog actually increased (rather than burning off as I expected). At this point, I began to look for compositions with boats against the rising fog. There is [...]

Foggy Morning in Marblehead Day 3 – Red Sun Rising

For those who might have missed the start of this week's posts, I mentioned going out on the morning of Wednesday, September 11th on what ended up being a 90 degree day. This was in large part thanks to the personalized forecast I received from Matt Noyes over Twitter the night before. On Monday, I shared a shot from dawn and Tuesday featured some early Fall colors at Crocker Park. I returned to the spot of my earlier dawn shots in anticipation of the sunrise and found that the fog had significantly increased. I still had my medium telephoto lens [...]

Foggy Morning in Marblehead Day 1 – Marblehead Harbor at Dawn

On the night of Tuesday, September 10th we were on the cusp of a 90 degree day and so I turned to my weather apps to try to predict the next morning's sunrise conditions. I was disheartened to see clear skies in the forecast and turned to twitter to see if Matt Noyes might help me out. As a testament to his availability and knowledge, I received the following information from him that night: "Well...the app likely says clear b/c it's tied to computers which also mostly say clear after 3am clearing trend commences. But..Presence of cloud deck now, including [...]
