Corinthian Yacht Club

A Night at the Corinthian Yacht Club

My wife and I are headed out to opening night at the Dolphin Yacht Club this evening which led me to hunt through the archive for images of the yacht clubs in Marblehead to feature this morning.  Unfortunately, I don't have any of the Dolphin's facade yet (hoping to remedy that soon enough) but I did find this image of the Corinthian Yacht Club taken at the end of July 2015. I had gone out on this night to shoot the blue moon and found myself in position a bit early.  With that opportunity, I sought out compositions across the [...]

Christmas in Marblehead – Last Light on Marblehead Light

When I go out to shoot the town of Marblehead, it is not uncommon for me to find at least five different compositions in good light and then have to select one to share and place others in the archive.  On this day, I had set up at the pier of the Pleon Yacht Club which offered me a number of photographic possibilities.  This week, I wanted to share five different images captured from 3:45pm to 4:05pm on Christmas in Marblehead. As the light began to fade, I moved to the right edge of the pier and composed this image [...]

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 [...]

Old Glory and the Corinthian

On the same night in which I captured an image of rocks along this section of Marblehead Neck abutting the harbor, I found a number of other interesting compositions.  This one was taken just a few minutes earlier when I made my way past a private pier and noticed Old Glory flying high overhead.  As I looked around for a composition, I found this spot where the Corinthian Yacht Club can be seen through the pylons of the pier and its flag can just be made out juxtaposed with Old Glory. The flying flag and warm light convey the heat [...]

Windows to the Harbor

Sunday, June 21st was Fathers Day and, after spending the day with my wife and two kids, I decided to treat myself to a photo shoot.  I had a particular spot in mind for that day - though you'll have to wait until Wednesday to see it. As I explored this part of Marblehead Neck, I wandered down to the edge of Nahant Street.  I've photographed this area on a few occasions previously but on this day, the tide was perfect for using the rocky outcropping as a frame.  I composed the image to also include the Corinthian Yacht Club [...]

Sea Smoke in the Harbor – Corinthian and Marblehead Light

Back to the incredible display of sea smoke in Marblehead Harbor that took place on January 8, 2015.  This image was captured on my first round at Foster Street (I would come back after capturing the sun rise at Castle Rock before racing to work).  I had just photographed the sea smoke in the harbor with a purple sky over Abbot Hall and turned to find the sea smoke was even thicker looking out toward the Corinthian Yacht Club with Marblehead Light towering behind it. The wind was moving the sea smoke off the water and it took a few [...]

From the Rooftops – The Corinthian, Harbor and Boston Skyline

This image comes from a trip to the top of Marblehead Light on July 2nd during the semi-annual stringing of the holiday lights.  I have shared a few images from this location but hadn't yet shown this one which features the Corinthian Yacht Club with a pool filled to capacity, Marblehead Harbor with boats as far as the eye can see and, in the distance, the Boston skyline. Would you like to order a print of this image? Enter the information below: [contact-form-7 id="11613" title="Gallery ordering"]

Marblehead Harbor in the Blue Hour

In early September, I had woken up early enough to capture Marblehead harbor in the blue hour.  I drove down State Street to Front Street and parked at the Landing from where I walked around the corner and found this vantage point. The waters were incredibly still and, for some reason, all of the lights were on at the Corinthian Yacht Club at 5:45am when I clicked the shutter.  The golden glow of those lights complemented the blues in the sky and water with the bright green light of Marblehead Light reflecting in the still waters.

Still Waters at Sunset in Marblehead

On Tuesday, October 14, I had decided to head out at sunset which seemed to hold the promise of a decent showing.  I spent much of my time between two docks along Marblehead Neck.  As the sun set and the color began to creep into the sky, I noted this composition of the Corinthian Yacht Club with Marblehead Light poking out behind it. The waters were calm but I made them more so with this 30 second exposure.  The addition of a circular polarizer helped bring out the reflections in the still waters at sunset in Marblehead.

From the Rooftops – Corinthian Yacht Club and Marblehead Harbor

Back to the top of Marblehead Light from July 2nd for this From the Rooftops Thursday image.  I had previously shared an image including the shadows cast by Marblehead Light but, before focusing on that composition, I had been overwhelmed by the expansive view of Marblehead Harbor. The only tricky part was deciding whether to incorporate Abbot Hall with its scaffolding and red drape.  For this image, I decided to focus on Marblehead Neck and the Corinthian Yacht Club with the beautiful view of a full Marblehead Harbor.  I was fortunate to have some clouds to work with and I [...]
