So Long Irene

It looks like Hurricane Irene is making her way past with a bit of wind left over but, thankfully, very little damage reported so far. I ventured out after the rains let up around noon looking for more signs of Irene's power along the coast. I started at Spray Avenue where I could shoot the waves with some protection from the wind and spray. I then headed over to Greystone Beach which I have been wanting to shoot for some time. I have a couple of shots that I liked from there but this slower one of a developing wave [...]

The Sturgeon Moon rises over Devereux Beach

The Full Moon was due to rise on Saturday, August 13th but clouds threatened to block its ascent. I plotted out where the Sturgeon moon was due to rise and struggled with a landmark that would capture the town of Marblehead as well as the beauty of moonrise. It was when I noticed its position in relation to Devereux beach that I had my answer. After making a study of the lifeguard chairs, I knew they would feature in this image. I backed up so that I could fit the chair and the moon's path with my 200mm lens that [...]

Last of the Lifeguard Chairs on Devereux Beach

Finding these lifeguard chairs on Devereux beach last week was a very pleasant surprise. Having great light to work with as I sought out to capture them was an even better one. Thank you for your comments here and on the Facebook page. I really appreciate it. Here are the last two images from the series.

The Lifeguard Chair on Devereux Beach – Causeway and beyond

Here is another image of the newly painted lifeguard chairs on Devereuex beach. This is chair 1 standing guard near the end of the beach with a view of the causeway and the Neck in the background.

The Fly-By at Sunset – Devereux beach

So this is my favorite shot from the 'study' of the newly painted lifeguard chairs at devereux beach. The sun was still high enough in the sky to paint the back of the chair with a rich red. This was one of a number of attempts to catch a seagull in the frame and I couldn't have asked for better placement. Note that no food or photoshop was used to lure/place the seagull in its rightful location.

The Lifeguard Chair at Sunset

This weekend I noticed that the normally white lifeguard chairs at Devereux beach had been painted red with an added Red Cross behind them. I made a note to come back and shoot them and was fortunate to have time on Saturday night to do so. Even better were the colors of sunset that added a beautiful pink hue to the clouds over the ocean. I have a number of favorite shots from this night and will be posting more this week. I am now on Google+ so, if you are on there as well, please add me to one [...]

The Lightning show at Devereux Beach

I had just remarked to my wife about the relative paucity of lightning and thunderstorms in Marblehead when a monster of a storm swept through town. I tried to capture shots of lightning at Chandler Hovey park within the safety of the lighthouse initially. After that failed, I drove by Devereux and witnessed explosions of light to the south. For the next hour, I tried to capture the power and beauty of this storm as the number of spectators rapidly grew. At times, the show rivaled our fireworks display in the number of bursts. In the shot above, mother nature [...]

The Carnival Comes to Town

Every May, the carnival takes over Devereux beach as a fundraiser for the senior class. Without fail, rain always follows. It was with astonishment then that I saw the clouds clear way and the sun take form over the carnival grounds. A bit of smooth-talking got me a pass from the carnies to the top of the Super Slide and a unique vantage point from which to shoot. Two additional shots follow below.
