Early Morning on Washington Street

Today's post features two images from Washington Street taken in the early morning hours.  Above are the wonderful shops that line this crowded street before any parked cars could disturb this tranquil scene.  Below is the view of Pleasant Street and one of my (and my son's) favorite buildings that houses Mud Puddle toys.  Exploring Old Town in these early hours provides a very peaceful and calm feeling - I highly recommend the experience if you're willing to brave the cold and give up the extra hour of sleep....

Purple Dawn

Awoke Saturday at 5:30 with the goal of shooting the sunrise from the Neck and, with any luck, the setting Harvest Moon over Abbot hall.  Dawn turned out to be very nice as was the brilliant sunrise at Castle Rock.  Have a number of keepers from the morning and will post them each day this week.  The moon, unfortunately, disappeared into morning clouds.  For a few hours though, I had the entirety of Chandler Hovey park to myself...it made for a great start to the day. Technical: Canon 50D and EF-S 10-22 with B+W 10-stop ND filter.  Four minute exposure.

Foggy Morning over Salem Harbor

So technically this is just on the outskirts of Marblehead as you cross into Salem. I had been meaning to capture this area for a while but could never get all the elements in place…until today. Nice subdued light, bit of fog off the water and little to no wind to ruin the reflections. Technical: Canon 50D and 70-200 f/4 IS. 5 bracket HDR by 1 exposure steps
