Huey and Louie Visit the Eastern Yacht Club

I mentioned on Tuesday's post that we had a lot of rain in early September and otherwise boring gray skies. The day after I ventured out to shoot at Cove Lane (and it started to rain minutes after that shot was taken by the way), I discovered that there was dense fog to be found in the harbor. I started shooting at Riverhead beach and slowly made my way out to Marblehead Neck again. This time, I stopped in along Foster Street and made my way down to the Pleon pier. As I looked around, I found these two rowboats [...]

Soft Light Over Marblehead Harbor

I mentioned on Monday's post that immediately after taking the shot of Devereux Beach on a foggy evening, I captured two soft sunset images - this is one of them. I'm not sure why but the idea of using the fence as a compositional piece had not occurred to me previously - I typically would walk down the causeway a bit for the unobstructed view. On this particular night, the light was diffused by the fog so that there was great balance in the foreground elements of the fence and grass with the distant elements of Marblehead harbor filled with [...]

Old Glory on the Fourth of July

I don't think anyone of our generation will forget where we were on the morning of September 11th. I have to admit to never quite understanding that concept when my parent's generation spoke of a similar feeling with JFK's assassination or seeing a man walking on the moon - but now it makes perfect sense. As today marks the 12th anniversary of that tragic day, I wanted to find an image that might serve well to counter the darker connotations of the anniversary. I looked in my archive and found this image taken on July 4th, 2013 before the sun [...]

Quiet Morning at Crocker Park Float

Back to Crocker Park and that great dawn of August 3rd. I shared two other images from Crocker Park taken this morning. This one came about after both of those when I walked down the steps to the bridge connecting the Crocker Park float in Marblehead harbor to the stairs and mainland. The waters were calm and the light great making for a very serene morning scene. Only a few more weeks to enjoy the float and the waters in town.

Purple Summer Sunset over Marblehead Harbor

It seems as though we have had some incredibly varied sunsets this Summer and this image taken from a particularly nice one in late July is no exception. I shared an image from near the end of the good light focusing on Abbot Hall previously [LINK]. The great thing about these Summer sunsets is that they seem to last forever (even long after the sun has dipped below the horizon) and, depending on cloud cover, the colors can be truly spectacular. I moved all around the pier at the Pleon Yacht Club on this particular evening trying different compositions. This [...]

Summer Sunset from Corinthian Lane

I missed a great Summer sunset on Thursday and decided to make up for it with a photoshoot on Friday. I headed out at 7pm and made my way to Devereux Beach to scout out the skies. Unfortunately, there was nothing but boring blue looking out over the harbor with more interesting clouds back towards Greystone and Goldthwait. Having recently shot sunsets from Devereux Beach, I decided to drive out to Marblehead Neck and see if I could find some new vantage points. After circling around the parking lot at Chandler Hovey Park, I drove back down Kimball Street and [...]

Once in a Blue Moon

I headed out last night in hopes of capturing a nice full moon rising over Marblehead harbor. I had tried to decide where to shoot from and ended up at Lovis Cove with a borrowed super telephoto lens on a cloudless night. While the sunset was nothing to write home about, the moon rise more than made up for it. It took a little while for the full Sturgeon moon to make its way past the haze but, once it did, it made for quite a sight. As I stood there shooting with traffic from The Barnacle coming out to [...]

Morning Comes to Crocker Park

I've shared a few images from this dawn photoshoot that took place in the first week of August. As I mentioned, the light changed so dramatically in the hour before sunrise (the so-called blue hour) that I ended up with 9 favorites from the session. This image came about after another taken at Crocker Park focusing on the harbor filled with boats. I decided to step back and try to find a composition including the great trees that stand near the flag pole while keeping the harbor and lighthouse in strong positions in the frame. This spot seemed perfect and [...]

Dawn Breaks Over Marblehead Harbor

Back to the sunrise of August 3rd to start this week off right. As I mentioned previously, I woke at 4:45am on this particular Saturday and decided to take advantage of that by heading down to the Crocker Park area to shoot the dawn as it broke over Marblehead Harbor. Before heading up there, I ran down to the water's edge and captured these incredible colors in the sky and reflecting in the waters of Marblehead harbor. I love seeing the harbor filled to capacity with boats and the calm waters on this early August morning helped keep them sharp [...]

J105s, Abbot Hall and a Great Summer Sunset

This image comes from a boat ride in and around Marblehead Harbor taken on July 16th. We had incredible light and my friend was more than happy to chase that light with me as we cruised the waters surrounding this incredible town and eventually found our way into Marblehead Harbor. For anyone who hasn't taken a boat into our harbor, it is an obstacle course of incredible boats of many shapes, sizes and styles. As we approached Abbot Hall, I spotted these J105s and quickly grabbed this image. Between the boats sharing the same style, the great clouds reflecting early [...]
