The alternative title for this post is 'what a difference a week makes'. As you can see below, I shot nearly the same scene one week apart. Above is sunset on October 27 - below is sunrise on October 20. It's amazing how quickly fall colors can take hold and completely change a landscape. Technical: Canon 50D and EF-S 10-22 lens. 6 exposure bracket
I drive by the Star of the Sea cemetery every morning on the way to work and have been waiting for the trees to show their Fall colors. Last Wednesday at sunrise seemed to be the 'peak' of their foliage (though with a fair number of fallen leaves as is the norm for this Fall). I chose this beautiful statue for my foreground and lead the viewer to explore the rest of the cemetery.
Every weekend from March through November, the Marblehead Model Yacht Club sails their boats on Redd's pond. The boats are incredible scale reproductions. I was lucky enough to visit Redd's with my son during one of their regattas and captured this shot near the end of the race as the boat came to 'shore'. The fall colors were an added bonus. Techical: Canon 50D and EF-S 17-55 lens. Single exposure.
As I mentioned in yesterday's post, 'Little Harbor', I have been working on this shot for a while. I had never explored the Oliver/Ware pond area prior to last Wednesday and that brings me to the underlying theme of this blog - exploring the town of Marblehead. I happened to pick a still day and one with decent foliage to stroll through this area and new this would be the best shot from the day after setting up to take it. Hope you agree. Technical: Canon 50D and EF-S 17-55mm lens. 6 bracket exposure.
It seems that Fall is finally coming to town! Found this tree as I made my way back from a sunrise shoot at Redd's pond (see yesterday's post). The light was right and the wind died down long enough to get a few shots in. If anyone has great trees showing their colors in their neighborhood, please contact me. Technical: Canon 50D and EF-S 17-55mm 2.8 lens. 6 Bracket exposure.
