Sunset Lights up the Boats in Marblehead Harbor

This past August featured some incredible sunsets that formed over Marblehead Harbor. I tried to capture as many as I could and was amazed at how much the colors would vary from day to day. This particular sunset took place on August 19th. I decided to shoot from the Pleon launch but, at the last minute, walked down to the float on the water to get a different vantage point. From this view at water level, the boats in Marblehead harbor took on a larger part of the composition and the light reflected deeper into the frame. I made sure [...]

Crocker Park on a Warm Summer Day

With Thursday's warm up, I felt some nostalgia for the just passed Summer and immediately jumped to this image in my archive. This shot was taken on July 3rd while I was out scouting spots from which to shoot the fireworks. We were in the midst of one of many heat waves and the temperature on this day hit a very muggy 89F. Not unexpectedly the float at Crocker Park was packed and I decided to capture some images looking down on the scene from the walkway above. If you look closely (go to the full size image on the [...]

Foggy Morning in Marblehead Harbor

Earlier in the week, I became a bit overwhelmed by the number of images I had waiting to post and turned to Facebook to see what everyone was most interested in seeing. The answers included the expected foliage shots but also a strong vote for more images taken in the fog. This image comes from the morning of September 11th when an incredibly dense fog rolled in and enveloped Marblehead Harbor. I began shooting from near the State Street Landing but moved toward Fort Beach as the sun rose in the morning sky. This was one of the last images [...]

Calm Waters in Marblehead Harbor

This seemed like a good photo to finish off the week and get the long weekend off to a nice start. I shared two images from this vantage point already - the Harvest Moon and the 116 Megapixel panorama that immediately preceded it. While I was at this unique spot overlooking the perfectly calm waters in Marblehead Harbor, I couldn't help by shoot all the compositions that came to mind as the sun set and the pink colors of sunset reflected off the water. I don't often shoot verticals - especially when the horizontal offers so much more to take [...]

Marblehead Harbor Under a Beautiful Sky

Do you remember that Storm Chasing image I shared in mid-September? This is what I had been after that day. Great cumulus clouds were forming over Marblehead Harbor and I drove out to try to capture the scene of the harbor filled with boats under a beautiful sky. By the time I reached this spot, the clouds seemed to be chased by rapidly darkening sky. I only managed two frames before the darkness caught up to and seemed to consume these fluffy white clouds. I wasn't long before I would race out to Chandler Hovey Park and capture the storm [...]

Sunset over Marblehead Harbor – A Panorama

I'm catching up on photos on this grey, rainy Sunday and found a set of 15 vertical images I took immediately before the Harvest Moon rose on September 19th. Here is the stitched panorama which weighs in at 116 Megapixels.

The End of Summer in Marblehead

I was trying to decide on an image to share today and started looking at the 'to be posted' folder of images. As I worked my way down the list with the windows open and the cool air coming in, I knew that I needed to find an image that exemplified the end of Summer in Marblehead. Though the leaves have started to turn colors, this small burst of Summer-like weather had put me back in that frame of mind. As soon as I clicked on this image, I knew it would be perfect. This was taken on July 31st [...]

The Harvest Moon rises over Marblehead Harbor

The Harvest Moon was due to rise tonight and I had been racking my head trying to decide on a new vantage point from which to capture the year's best full moon. Last year, I had taken an image from Crocker Park and lucked out as the tree there had just started to change color owing to an early cold snap. This year, I planned to include more of the harbor and figured on shooting from the State Street Landing. I circled twice to find parking and finally had to stop in the Crosby's lot (shhh...don't tell). I then walked [...]

Foggy Morning in Marblehead Day 4 – Feeling Lucky

Day 4 of this week's posts all coming from the same foggy morning in Marblehead. I mentioned before that these images were taken on September 11th which ended up being a 90 degree day and I headed out that morning at dawn hoping for a good sunrise. As you saw in the posts earlier this week, both dawn and the sunrise were worth the few hours lost sleep. As the sun rose, the fog actually increased (rather than burning off as I expected). At this point, I began to look for compositions with boats against the rising fog. There is [...]

Foggy Morning in Marblehead Day 3 – Red Sun Rising

For those who might have missed the start of this week's posts, I mentioned going out on the morning of Wednesday, September 11th on what ended up being a 90 degree day. This was in large part thanks to the personalized forecast I received from Matt Noyes over Twitter the night before. On Monday, I shared a shot from dawn and Tuesday featured some early Fall colors at Crocker Park. I returned to the spot of my earlier dawn shots in anticipation of the sunrise and found that the fog had significantly increased. I still had my medium telephoto lens [...]
