Dawn Reflections

One last image from Saturday morning's incredible dawn outing. I had been watching this one working boat move on its mooring and, when it hit a certain spot in its rotation, I spotted reflected light coming off the bow. I waited for the boat to go through its morning rotations once more and lucked out with this capture of nearly peak light in the sky and the reflections coming off the boat and water. The three empty moorings in the foreground perfectly broke up the pink-purple light. I'll relegate the last 3 keepers to my 'to be posted' archive so [...]

Pink Sky and Purple Water

I warned you that I came away with 12 keepers from the incredible dawn on Saturday morning. Here are the next 4 in the series. These images capture the full spectrum from the first light at 5:11am to the sunrise at 5:38am. During that time, I shot from various spots along the stairs at Crocker Park leading to the float (which should be installed in a few more weeks). I couldn't have asked for better light on this early spring morning as the colors helped me with a wide range of compositions. I hope you agree this image of [...]

Explosion of Color

I had last gone out to capture images of Marblehead two weeks ago which seems to have become the norm for late winter/early-mid spring for me. The lack of foliage around town and the lack of boats in the harbor limits the compositional possibilities. When I saw rain in the forecast for this weekend, I quickly checked a few apps including those predicting cloud cover and saw there was a pretty good chance for a solid dawn/sunrise on Saturday morning. I set my alarm for 5am and was out the door shortly thereafter. As I drove to Crocker Park, I [...]

Red Sky in Morning

I had last gone out to capture images of Marblehead two weeks ago which seems to have become the norm for late winter/early-mid spring for me. The lack of foliage around town and the lack of boats in the harbor limits the compositional possibilities. When I saw rain in the forecast for this weekend, I quickly recalled that old sailor's adage 'red sky in morning, sailors take warning'. I proceeded to check a few apps including those predicting cloud cover and saw there was a pretty good chance for a solid dawn/sunrise on Saturday morning. I set my alarm [...]

Consolation Prize

I had high hopes for capturing the moon setting over Marblehead this morning and made sure to wake by 5am for the best chance of capturing the full moon against the early morning light. I checked conditions from my window and spotted the bright moon and then headed out to the Neck all the while watching some unexpected clouds build over the horizon. I arrived at Chandler Hovey Park just as dawn's light began to bloom and just as the moon disappeared behind the clouds. As the light brightened, I quickly gave up hopes for a shot of the moon [...]

Boat One on New Year’s Eve

I woke up this morning earlier than I expected and immediately checked the weather and cloud predictions to see if I might make up for the last few missed sunrises. All looked promising so I drove out to the State Street Landing and set up for what turned out to be a decent sunrise. I had a tough time finding a focal point as there are no boats in this part of the harbor but discovered the Harbormaster's Boat One with its bright colors perfectly suited the scene. Happy New Year everyone! See you tomorrow at 7am for the New [...]

Top 10 of 2022 – #7 Moonset over the Harbor

My seventh favorite image captured in 2022 comes from the morning of September 10th when I made my way to Chandler Hovey Park to capture the moon setting besides Abbot Hall. If memory serves, the deep orange color was due to a combination of the timing of sunrise but also some west coast fires that added particulate matter to the air. For the deep orange hue of the moon and the foreground of a crowded harbor, this quickly became a favorite and ended up as my seventh best image of 2022.
