My second stop on February 25th was Little Harbor and I couldn't pass up the chance to shoot the sun rising over Brown's Island and reflecting in the waters of Doliber's cove. I shot this scene before capturing the one of the rowboat shared on Tuesday but came back to it after and found a bird had perched on the nearby rock to take in the peaceful scene. I preferred this image with the bird to add a bit of life to the morning view.
Years ago, I was thrilled to be interviewed by the Marblehead Reporter about my photography and was pleasantly surprised at the headline calling me a Fog-tographer. I had expressed my love of foggy conditions and, with the quality of light in this image, it really is no wonder that many of my favorite images were captured in the fog. This is another image from the morning of February 25th and was taken near the end of my journey from Little Harbor to Castle Rock. The fog was picture perfect at this point and created a painterly light that washed over [...]
One of my first stops on February 25th was Little Harbor and this was my favorite image taken from along Beacon Street. The sun had burned through enough of the fog to allow sunlight to reflect on the still water of the harbor. I composed this shot to include the lone boat moored in First Harbor along Fisherman's Beach and then lucked out when a seagull flew over Brown's Island.
On Saturday, February 25th, I woke to find Marblehead enveloped in fog as a result of the Spring-like weather that had offered us several days of warmth. I ended up chasing the light and fog from Little Harbor to the Neck and came away with enough favorites to share a new foggy image of Marblehead every day this week. Today's image is my second favorite and comes from the outcropping at Castle Rock. I had just taken what would be my favorite image of the day and walked behind the large rock to explore the view of this section of [...]
This is the second image in the Top 10 of 2016 countdown to have been taken on the night of July 5th and was an easy choice for the #2 spot (it was actually #1 until December 14th when it got bounced for that top slot). As the sun set through the building fog on this night, it created an incredible diffuse orange light. I was shooting various compositions in this light and then spotted two townies sailing under the sunset light. The picture perfect light and warmth of the final scene with the silhouettes of the sailors visible combined [...]
Back to the Top 10 of 2016 Countdown and the first warm image to make it to the favorite list of images. I had gone out on July 5th when golden fog rolled into Marblehead Harbor and was rewarded with the most incredible light I had seen in our town. The light was so awesome that two images from this evening are in my Top 10 list (the other just missed the #1 slot). The combination of fog enveloping (but not overwhelming) the familiar Marblehead skyline and the harbor filled with boats made this an easy choice for #5 on [...]
The night of July 5th offered the most incredible light I have witnessed since starting Wednesdays in Marblehead in 2010. The combination of late day fog and the setting sun made for a breathtaking view of a foggy sunset over Marblehead Harbor. From my spot at Chandler Hovey Park, I was able to shoot countless scenes as the light changed including a few of folks sailing in the glow of a foggy sunset. I've shared a closer view of a sailboat making its way into the harbor before but also had this vertical view that I couldn't help but share [...]
Since the forecast for today and tomorrow is a mix of rain and fog, I thought I would dive into the archive and share this image of foggy days at Castle Rock taken in May 2012. Every time I share an image of Castle Rock, I'm reminded of the incredible beauty of this small part of Marblehead Neck. You could spend hours watching and listening to the surf as it comes to shore and tumbles the rocks creating a perfect symphony of sights and sounds any time of year.
On the evening of July 5th, an incredible display of fog descended upon Marblehead Harbor and I was fortunate to have been at Chandler Hovey Park from where I capture image after image as conditions quickly changed. As the fog reached its peak, it created a sepia-like tone to the view of boats in Marblehead harbor and I found this composition made up mostly of ship masts and steeples in the foreground. The fog hid nearly all other houses across the water and created a scene that seemed at once suited to the works of Renaissance masters rather than anything [...]
