Glover’s Regiment Marching Under the Full Moon

Every Summer, Glover's Regiment has an encampment at Fort Sewall with reenactments of battles between the Loyalists/Red Coats and the Regiment. It so happened that this year's encampment would take place during the Full Buck Moon. I had a few ideas in mind and so I headed out to Fort Sewall on Friday night with my family to watch a piece of Marblehead history and hoped for good conditions. The full moon rose on a beautiful warm Summer night and the timing of the rise in relation to sunset meant there were plenty of pinks and purples in the sky [...]

Full Moon over Brown’s Island

Today's image comes from July 2013 when I headed out to capture the full moon (aka buck moon) rising over Brown's island. This marks the 38th image of a full moon shared on my website. On this particular outing, the moon remained mostly hidden behind a layer of haze. This image was the best capture of the full moon as it rose over the tree at Brown's Island and as a sailboat passed in the distance. The moon has been such a common theme that I have devoted an entire gallery to images including the moon as an element. You [...]

Snow Moon rises over snow covered Marblehead Neck

I mentioned on Monday's post that I had gone out after work Friday (Valentine's Day) in hopes of capturing the February snow moon. I arrived at Crocker Park in time to capture a great pink sunset over Marblehead harbor and a few other scenes of snow that I will share in the days to come. Well after the sun had set and the moon had risen, I had yet to find it in the night sky. I checked and rechecked my apps meant to help track the moon's path but it was nowhere to be seen. I got back in [...]

The Cold Moon sets over Marblehead Harbor

For those who may not have heard, I broke my left foot a few weeks ago (very lame story) and was sure that, with the coming of Winter, I would hang up the camera for a 4 week hiatus. I continued to post photos taken from immediately prior to the accident but felt there was no way I would make it out for anything new and exciting. On Monday, December 16, my wife texted me while I was at work commenting on how incredible the moon had appeared that night. I had totally forgotten about the full moon (not that [...]

Beaver Moon rising over Marblehead Harbor

I almost forgot about the full Beaver moon rising this weekend. I only realized it thanks to some timely Facebook posts by others and then quickly began scouting locations from which to capture the rise. The angles the the full moon takes seem to get tougher as we get into the Winter months and I ended up deciding to shoot from the Boston Yacht Club on this particular day. Though the moon was going to be full on Sunday, Nov 17, the conditions that night didn't seem to allow for a shot so I headed out on Saturday at 3:30pm [...]

Once in a Blue Moon

I headed out last night in hopes of capturing a nice full moon rising over Marblehead harbor. I had tried to decide where to shoot from and ended up at Lovis Cove with a borrowed super telephoto lens on a cloudless night. While the sunset was nothing to write home about, the moon rise more than made up for it. It took a little while for the full Sturgeon moon to make its way past the haze but, once it did, it made for quite a sight. As I stood there shooting with traffic from The Barnacle coming out to [...]

The Strawberry Supermoon Rises Over Tinker’s Island

This weekend's Strawberry Moon (aka Rose Moon, Flower Moon) was also designated as the Supermoon marking the closest that the moon would come to Earth in all of 2013. This particular supermoon would appear to be the largest full moon of the year owing to its proximity to Earth. With that in mind, I scouted out the moonrise and moonset beginning on Saturday night. As luck would have it, other plans and weather removed the Saturday night and Sunday morning opportunities to shoot the supermoon. I was determined to head out on Sunday however and was armed with a borrowed [...]

A Blue Moon Over Marblehead Lighthouse

I missed out on shooting May's full moon and, when trying to decide on a photo to share today, came across this one from August of the rare blue moon. The blue moon is the name given to the second full moon in a given month. On August 30th, 2012, this one rose under perfect conditions. I shared a landscape oriented version of this blue moon but kept this portrait oriented one 'in the archive' to bring out on just such a day. This image of the blue moon was taken from along Front Street on this warm late August [...]

The Full Pink Moon Rises Over the Harbor

On April 25th, the Pink Moon was due to rise and I made plans to try to capture it. I use a program called TPE (the photographer's ephemeris) to plan out the location of moon rise, moon set, sunrise and sunsets. I opened up that program on my iPad and started hunting for good vantage points. I decided that Crocker Park would be the best location for the April full moon and headed there before sunset. After the sun disappeared below the horizon, I started to wonder when the moon would make its appearance. There were some clouds/haze at the [...]

The Harvest Moon Rises over Redds Pond

Here's another shot from the archive, this time from mid October 2011. On the same night that I took this image of the harvest moon and Abbot hall (click to view), I ended up with another great opportunity to shoot this full moon. I drove back through town literally chasing the moon as I went and somehow found myself at Redd's pond. By that point the moon had risen high enough to clear the trees and was positioned immediately over the Pond View house across the water. As luck would have it, the resident of the house must have just [...]
