Dawn over Marblehead Harbor

I had considered heading out this morning for a dawn/sunrise shoot but the forecast seemed to call for clear skies which usually lead to fairly boring color. Instead, I found this image from a dawn shoot in early August of last year to share. As this was taken in mid-Summer, Marblehead Harbor is filled to capacity with boats on their moorings. The colors of this dawn morning reflected beautifully in the waters of the harbor and the streaks of clouds above. It won't be much longer before we can count on regular warm days and can revisit Marblehead Harbor filled [...]

Red Sky at Morning over Greystone

This image comes from April 23rd and a surprisingly productive dawn photo shoot that began along Bass Rock Lane. From here, there is a great vantage point of the houses in Greystone that line the shores of Marblehead. I couldn't help but add in that old adage: Red sky at morning, sailors take warning; Red sky at night, sailors' delight.

Clouds Reflecting in Marblehead Harbor at Dawn

Wednesday, April 23rd proved to be a surprisingly productive morning which began with an incredible sunrise captured from Bass Rock Lane. After exploring a number of compositions there, I decided to drive out to Hammond Park as the gathering clouds promised a continuation of the great light I had been treated to. The view did not disappoint with calm waters serving to reflect the gathering clouds in Marblehead Harbor at dawn. I tried a few different compositions here as well but liked the expansive view - especially with the sole boat moored in the harbor.

Frozen Moment at Castle Rock (photo and video)

Today's image comes from the dawn/sunrise photoshoot at Castle Rock on February 19th. I've shared a few other images from this outing but hadn't yet worked on this image with a composition aimed at including the waves coming to shore and reflecting the colors of dawn on this cold morning. Immediately before capturing this image, I had switched the camera to movie mode and recorded 40 seconds of the sounds and feel of watching the dawn from Castle Rock. Click below to watch the video for yourself and see how the final photo and video compare.

Leading into Marblehead Harbor

After I finished capturing the incredible sunrise that took place on Sunday morning, I made my back to the car ready to pack up my gear and head to the next destination. As I looked back, I saw the colors were building closer to the horizon and decided to try a different composition. I walked to the float at the end of Commercial Street and found this angle from which I could use the small dock as a leading line into Marblehead Harbor. The tighter composition made Marblehead Light into a stronger element compared to the wider and more expansive [...]

Spring Sunrise from Hammond Park

With yet another snowstorm predicted to hit Marblehead in the next few days, I decided to head out early on Sunday morning to capture some storefronts for my Keep it Local series. I checked the forecast the night before and was hoping for the best with the 'partially cloudy' conditions that were predicted. As I left the house at 5:45am, the first hints of light appeared and I saw some impressive streaks of clouds. I only hoped that the clouds would hold their shape and be angled correctly when I reached the harbor. As I drove, I continued to watch [...]

Looking South at Dawn from Castle Rock

The morning of February 19th turned out to be quite a productive one with a wide range of images taken from the snow covered area around Castle Rock. After the sun rose, I moved to the edge of Castle Rock and looked down onto the private beach that lines this section of Marblehead Neck. The tide was at a perfect height with just enough beach to form a divide between the ocean and snow covered land. The soft orange glow of dawn can be seen accentuating the few clouds in the sky and the moon is visible in the upper [...]

Dawn from Castle Rock

The past few weeks have been filled with a dizzying array of emotions - from joy to stress, exhaustion to exhilaration, and finally gratitude. The book is now firmly on the road to being made and it's time to get back to our regularly scheduled programming... I struggled with the choice of an image for today. As beautiful as snow can be, I am just so tired of this long, cold winter. I thought about bringing out a spring or summer image but that felt almost cruel - holding out hope of warmth as the weather reports predict more cold [...]

Sand Trap in the Snow – Tedesco Country Club

This has been a long Winter with all too frequent snow storms and plenty of sub-freezing temperatures to go along with them. That being said, there is something incredibly beautiful about a coating of freshly fallen snow. On Saturday, February 15, immediately after dropping off my son at the Tedesco parking lot for the YMCA snowboarding clinic, I headed across the street to capture the view you see before you. Snow had fallen the night before and a nice sunrise was developing as I found this composition near Tedesco Street. I was surprised to see that the sand trap had [...]

Purple Dawn from Fountain Park

Time to go back to the archives as the cold weather and recent return from time in the sun has kept me from shooting this week. This image comes from a dawn outing in December 2011. This was the start of a very foggy early December day in Marblehead and I had decided on a shot from atop Fountain Park to begin the day as the high tide held the promise of reflecting good morning light. As you can see, the sky did not disappoint and the water did end up serving as a very good reflector of the purple [...]
