Devereux Beach in the Fog

This seemed an appropriate image for the upcoming Labor Day weekend. Some time after capturing yesterday's image of fog, light and shadows at Old Burial Hill, I had wondered down to Devereux Beach to see if the fog offered interesting vantage points near the ocean. I found that the ocean seemed to disappear only a few feet from shore into that grey expanse and decided to set up a straight shot to accentuate the effect of the familiar beach in the fog. I waited for a wave to come ashore and captured this simple image. There was an odd glow [...]

Devereux Beach Playground in the Fog

July 21st brought with it incredibly dense fog that one local described to me as a 'smokey sou'wester'. I began photographing the fog at Grace Oliver beach and then made my way around Beacon Street. When all of those compositions were exhausted, I made my way to Devereux Beach hoping for some foggy scenes along the ocean. By the time I arrived, the sun had started to move closer to the horizon and, with the dense fog, it appeared huge in the diffused light. As I walked down the beach, I spotted this backlit scene of the Devereux Beach playground [...]

Foggy Night at the Marblehead Carnival

On Thursday, the annual Marblehead Carnival began and with it came rain. It had rained for much of the day but stopped by dusk so I figured I would have to work for compositions around the crowd of people attending the fundraiser for the senior high school class. I arrived at Devereux Beach to find the carnival nearly empty and was thrilled to see not only puddles to use for reflections but also great fog. Here are five images that captured the feel of a foggy night at the Marblehead Carnival. Click any of the images below for a larger [...]

Last Night at the Carnival

With the recent rains, I had already decided that I had to head to the carnival last night and then thick fog settled over Marblehead adding an extra dimension to the images I had envisioned. I arrived at the Marblehead carnival as the blue hour of dusk came to an end and found a nearly deserted carnival with rides shining brightly in the fog but only a handful of people walking around. I didn't waste any time in exploring compositions including reflections in puddles and incorporating the eeriness of the fog. The fact that the carnival was deserted on this [...]

The Rocks at Devereux Beach

This image was taken at Devereux Beach on May 4, 2011 - a mere two weeks from today's date. This cold spell in the midst of Spring has likely kept many from imagining scenes such as this so I thought the view of waves coming up to the rocky shore at Devereux Beach would serve as a nice reminder of days to come.

Flying through the Sea Smoke

Back to the morning of January 4th and the awesome experience of capturing sea smoke rising off the Atlantic Ocean from Devereux Beach. I had captured the sunrise over Tinker's Island at this point but the increasing angle of sunlight was backlighting the sea smoke and making for an even more impressive display. I tried to time the shots to the waves coming to shore and loved this particular image for the lobster trap encircled by water and the sea gulls that can be seen flying through the sea smoke. As incredible cold as it was that morning, it was [...]

Sea Smoke – Cold Dawn on Devereux Beach

Saturday morning brought truly arctic temperatures to Marbleheadwith measurements of 2 F (before the wind chill). I drove around Marblehead Neck to find the best examples of sea smoke coming off the relatively balmy Atlantic Ocean waters and decided the best view could be had from the causeway near Devereux Beach. I started shooting at dawn when the light cloud cover erupted in pink hues before the sun rose and lit the whole sky in a fiery red (I shared that image yesterday). I sought to include as much of Devereux Beach and the Neck with Tinker's Island out in [...]

The Surfer on Devereux Beach

On November 3rd, the same night during which I captured the causeway and harbor under great light and a clammer in the ocean, I also found this guy surfing in the waters off Devereux Beach. As he came out of the water around sunset, I found the human element added greatly to the view of Marblehead Neck beyond. I captured this frame with the surfboard parallel to the ground and reflecting some light which helped focus the viewers eye on the relatively small surfer and thereby add a sense of scale to the scene beyond. With the waves, great low-lying [...]

Clamming on Devereux Beach at Sunset

On November 3rd, I had decided to try to capture one of the incredible strings of sunsets that had been forming (and that I had been missing for various reasons). I followed the clouds to Devereux Beach and managed to capture a nice scene of Marblehead Neck with fall colors on the trees. If you missed it, click here [LINK]. After capturing that image, I turned and noted someone in the waters off Devereux Beach. It took me a minute to see that he was busy clamming in the Atlantic Ocean and only a few more minutes to realize how [...]

Summer Swim Under the Light of the Moon

As the days get cooler, I can't let go of these Summer images. This particular one came from mid-July when I was fortunate to capture great wispy clouds reflecting the pink light of sunset over Devereux Beach. The ocean was warm enough at this point for people to be captured in silhouette swimming in the waters. Can't really beat the feeling of a warm Summer night spent at Devereux Beach.
