Fifteen Degree Sunset

This is the dorkiest title I have ever given to an image but I just couldn't come up with anything good... After capturing images with the Phantom 4 Pro from above Devereux beach on Monday night, I switched over to the real camera and set about capturing a Winter beach sunset. While most of the good light was down the beach, I kept my eye on this diagonal band of clouds and switched to this composition as they picked up the light of the setting sun. I timed the shot to capture the gentle surf coming ashore. As for the title, [...]

Winter Beach Sunset – From above the Ocean and the Edge of the Waves

Last night, I drove out to Devereux Beach with both drone and camera in hand hoping to capture a nice Winter beach sunset. I had started to become comfortable flying the Phantom 4 Pro and was now looking to start pushing its boundaries to see what I could do that was more creative. At the same time, I didn't want to miss out on shooting a nice sunset with the real camera. I made it to Devereux beach with plenty of time to spare and set up the drone first. I crossed the causeway and found the combination of water and [...]

Churning Waves and the Lifeguard Chair

As a storm makes its way up the East coast, I'm reminded of this view of churning waves and the lifeguard chair from early September. The storm that threatened us then led only to some incredible waves and awesome surfing scenes amidst picture perfect weather. Here's hoping that Florida receives nothing more than a glancing blow and that we see some more wave action headed our way.

Playing Chicken with Mother Nature

Off Duty at Devereux Beach

From September 5th and my third trip to Devereux Beach to capture images of incredible waves. A lifeguard chair stands empty as huges waves come ashore meaning guards are off duty at Devereux Beach. *Photos will continue but descriptions may be sparse until Sept 28 as I am studying for the Allergy and Immunology Board exam which we need to take every 10 years

Watching the Waves Roll In

By the time all was said and done on Labor Day, I had visited Devereux Beach three separate times and captured wildly different images with each visit. On this occasion, I had stopped in near high tide before heading to Castle Rock and found that most of the surfers had departed. Instead of shooting people in the water, I tried to find interesting compositions of people watching the waves roll in to shore. As I ducked under the causeway to shoot waves crashing against the rocks, I looked up and saw feet dangling overhead. I quickly recomposed this shot to [...]

Surfs Up – Devereux Beach, Marblehead

It's not often that we get great surfing waves in Marblehead but, when they arrive, Devereux Beach can get crowded with surfers very quickly. As post-tropical storm Hermine churned off the coast, she sent strong waves heading West right toward Devereux Beach. I had expected rain and grey clouds to accompany the storm but it stayed far enough off shore to produce a beautiful warm day in Marblehead with strong (but not overpowering) winds. I headed down to Devereux Beach at 9:45am and again at 11:00am to capture images of surfing in Marblehead. I had only done this once before [...]

Winter Sunset on Devereux Beach

As the days get shorter and Summer reaches its end, I'm reminded of the beauty of Winter sunsets in Marblehead. The colors of sunsets in the Winter are quite different than their Summer variants. At the same time, the timing of those early sunsets and the rapidity with which the light changes makes them far more challenging to capture. This image was taken on December 4, 2011 during a high tide on Devereux Beach. I setup my tripod in the wet sand and had thought ahead so was wearing waterproof boots. I still had to time the shot just right [...]

Life’s a Beach in Marblehead

After capturing the reflections at Redd's Pond, I made my way toward Devereux Beach and the causeway hoping to find more interesting compositions on this hot Summer Sunday. I parked on the Riverhead Beach side and shot a few frames looking out toward Marblehead Light and then scaled the causeway to walk along its concrete path and take in views from both sides. I shot toward Abbot Hall until I reached the halfway mark and then turned around to explore views of the Atlantic Ocean and Devereux Beach. As I neared the beach, I took note of the packed appearance [...]

Picnic Pavilion at Devereux Beach

On Friday night, my family and I headed to Devereux Beach and the Marblehead Carnival as the forecast predicted this might be our best chance to enjoy the carnival and avoid the rain. We arrived after grabbing a quick dinner at Shubie's (where I will be for Marblehead Art Walk this weekend!) and made our way through the carnival. The layout had changed this year and I was disappointed to find the ferris wheel was not set up. This disappointment only increased when I noted the cloud structure over the ocean and the gap in cloud cover near where the [...]
