Clouds over the Causeway

I mentioned in Monday's post that I had gone out last Tuesday and found great cloud structures from this vantage point along the causeway connecting Marblehead and the Neck. My widest lens couldn't do justice to the beautiful clouds that stretched across the horizon so I turned the camera to a vertical orientation and shot 18 frames to form a panorama. The resulting image is over 87 megapixels and, if printed at full resolution, would measure over 7 feet wide (it could easily print at twice that size without losing any detail). Hope you enjoy this view of clouds over the [...]

Rainbows and Storm Clouds

On Tuesday, May 12th, I decided to play hooky from a meeting that promised to be both boring and less than useful by heading to Devereux Beach. There wasn't anything interesting predicted for sunset but, when I arrived at Devereux, I found impressive clouds with great structure extending up from the horizon. As I waited for the clouds to build and for the sun to drop lower in the sky, I set up for a panorama along the causeway that would end up as a more than 87 megapixel image when all was said and done (I'll share that later in the [...]

Explosion of Color in Marblehead Harbor

Summer sunsets have to be one of my favorite subjects to photograph. Heading out on a warm evening chasing after whisps of clouds and waiting for each evening's show brings a sense of anticipation that is usually well rewarded. On this evening in June, there was an explosion of color in Marblehead Harbor with the sky above moving through shades of pinks and purples that lasted for what felt like an eternity. Seemed like a nice image to turn to on this December day. Would you like to order a print of this image? Enter the information below: [contact-form-7 id="11613" title="Gallery [...]

Golden Light over Marblehead Harbor

This image comes from the end of July and some incredible clouds that formed over Marblehead Harbor. As the sun began to set, the golden hour set in and this singular cloud was bathed in golden light. Don't forget the Annual Christmas Walk takes place this weekend! I will be signing my Wednesdays in Marblehead book at the following locations: Saturday, December 6 from 12:30pm - 1:30pm - Marblehead Museum Saturday, December 6 from 2:00pm - 4:00pm - Spirit of '76 Bookstore Sunday, December 7 from 12:30pm - 2:00pm - Arnould Gallery

Morning Light on Little Harbor

On Sunday, October 5th, I had set out early to capture images of the dawn and then made my way to a few locations in Marblehead showing early (and beautiful) Fall colors. I shared five images from this one hour photo shoot last week but have a few more in the 'to be posted' archive that I really liked. After parking on Beacon Street and surveying the scene of Little Harbor before me, I was a little disappointed in the clear sky and had little hope for the morning. I did notice a few subtle clouds high above but did [...]

Low Tide in Marblehead – Smooth Sand at Devereux Beach

The series of six images captured during an incredibly low tide in Marblehead comes to a close with this final shot. I was in awe of the smooth sand at Devereux Beach that resulted from the astronomically low tide (-1.5 feet). After capturing the pink sky in the other direction, I turned toward the setting sun and the beautiful light that still glowed strong in the early evening. With the rocks in the foreground, the smooth ocean water and scattered clouds reflecting the sun's last light, I couldn't ask for much more for this week's finale. I have a few [...]

Low Tide in Marblehead – Pink Sky over Devereux Beach

The sky was erupting in pink at this point so, as soon as I finished capturing yesterday's image (had to wait for a break in traffic), I turned my attention back to Devereux Beach. The smooth sand and water were doing wonders at reflecting the pink sky over Devereux Beach and I found this composition perfectly captured the feel of awe and wonder I felt standing on the causeway. I bet most 'Headers would be hard pressed to identify this sandy beach as Devereux (though the houses along the Neck in the distance give it away). It's so refreshing to [...]

Low Tide in Marblehead – Clouds over the Causeway

With images of Devereux Beach at low tide captured, I walked back up to (and on top of) the causeway. I started taking photos of those same golden clouds from yesterday's image and was reasonably happy with the results. Then, as the sun dipped below the horizon, the colors in the sky began to change to pink and a perfect cloud formed directly over Marblehead Neck with the causeway forming a beautiful leading line directly into it. I widened my composition to include the whole of the Neck with Marblehead Light viewable in the far left and sought to capture [...]

Marblehead Harbor in the Blue Hour

I mentioned in yesterday's post that I hadn't captured the sunrise (let alone the blue hour preceding it) in over 3 months and had decided to make up for it on Sunday. As I drove toward Crocker Park, I noted some great clouds in the night sky and hoped they would stay for the sunrise. I arrived at my destination and made my way up the small hill to Crocker Park where I first took in the view of Marblehead Harbor in the blue hour looking out toward Marblehead Light. I walked down the path to the float for a [...]

Blue Light over Marblehead Harbor

Today's image comes from July 28 and the incredible light show at sunset that saw a wide range of colors erupting over Marblehead Harbor. At one point, a beautiful blue showed in the space between the clouds and horizon with golden light reflecting off the cumulus clouds onto the water below. I had been shooting from the pier at the Pleon Yacht Club and so I could quickly adjust to the light as it moved across the harbor. I only fully appreciated the intensity of the blue light over Marblehead harbor when I loaded this image on my return home [...]
