Dawn of a New Day

I really wanted to shoot a sunrise but just could not fathom the 4am wakeup that would be required. That is until I woke last Wednesday at exactly 4am without an alarm clock and figured it must be a sign. I had plotted out the sunrise 'just in case' and realized Hammond Park would offer the best vantage point. I set up and watched as the dawn broke spreading a purple glow over the harbor filled with boats. This will be the first of five posts this week documenting an incredible sunrise over Marblehead harbor. This seemed a perfect way [...]

A Sunset Between Storms

A few weeks ago, an amazing thunderstorm barreled through town. Between bursts of lightning, wind, and rain, I noticed an incredible sunset developing. Ran out of the house and made my way to Parker Lane on the neck. For those who don't know, Parker Lane is one of the Public Ways in town. I walked down to the water and grabbed this shot as the light become more vivid with each passing moment. I liked how the light on Abbot's clock tower illuminates it in the same colors as those of the sunset surrounding it. Technical: Canon 50D and EF-s [...]

The Privateer Lynx comes to town

This week saw the Lynx come to town. The Lynx is a tall ship inspired by one that fought in the war of 1812. She came to Marblehead harbor on a foggy Wednesday afternoon and was greeted by a throng of spectators watching from Fort Sewall as well as wind and rain. She fired off six cannon shots as she made her way to the harbor in response to rifle fire from the Marblehead regiment. This image was taken during one of those shots and puts the tall ship in the context of our iconic lighthouse. Technical: Canon 50D and [...]

The Supermoon Sets over Abbot Hall

First, I want to thank everyone for the incredible response to last week's post. There are two more shots from the rise of the supermoon over Marblehead neck and the harbor posted below. Just as I had planned out the location for the rise of the supermoon, I also charted its descent. Turns out it would fall right next to Abbot hall the next morning. I got up early and made my way to Chandler Hovey park setting up at its outermost point. I watched the moon fall as the sun rose and the two met in perfect concert just [...]

Abbot and the Boats

Not much time left to shoot a full harbor with Abbot Hall in the background. Took advantage of a morning shoot on the Neck to get this shot in. Technical: Canon 50D and EF-S 17-55mm lens. Three exposure bracket.

Storm in the Harbor

We've had three days of nonstop rain that left us with a surf advisory today. There was a short letup of the rain just as high tide approached and I made my way down to Front Street to see if I could capture the power of the storm using the background of Marblehead harbor. The initial shot was a bit flat due to the lighting conditions so this is a tonemapped version of my favorite shot from the excursion. Technical: Canon 50D and EF-S 17-55/2.8 IS lens. Single tonemapped image.
