The Old Man in Castle Rock

I mentioned in yesterday's post that this week will feature five images captured in a 25 minute span while scouting out Castle Rock in anticipation of arctic air and sea smoke in early January. After capturing the grand view that one sees as they first come upon Castle Rock, I walked along the rock wall to the break and stairs leading to the beach below. I have photographed this rock face on a few occasions and ended up returning here the next day to take one with a sun star and sea smoke. After sharing that image, I received a comment [...]

The Grand View at Castle Rock

On Thursday, January 8th, an arctic cold mass was projected to hit Marblehead bring subzero temperatures and the potential for sea smoke. I had captured sea smoke twice before and thus went out on Wednesday, January 7 to scout out some new locations. One of those stops was at Castle Rock (where I would end up returning...twice...the next morning). I arrived at Castle Rock at 3:30pm and left about 25 minutes later. In that time, I sought out a number of different compositions and came away with six solid images thanks to a combination of the cloud cover and the [...]

Where in Marblehead – Cold Dawn

The third entry in this week's Where in Marblehead series is easily the toughest yet as it was taken from the backyard of a private residence (with permission) on a cold Winter morning. Any guesses where this cold dawn image in Marblehead was taken from? Answer:

Low Tide in Marblehead – Clouds over the Causeway

With images of Devereux Beach at low tide captured, I walked back up to (and on top of) the causeway. I started taking photos of those same golden clouds from yesterday's image and was reasonably happy with the results. Then, as the sun dipped below the horizon, the colors in the sky began to change to pink and a perfect cloud formed directly over Marblehead Neck with the causeway forming a beautiful leading line directly into it. I widened my composition to include the whole of the Neck with Marblehead Light viewable in the far left and sought to capture [...]

From the Rooftops – Over the Causeway and Through the Woods

On Wednesday, June 17, I was invited to a home with a widow's walk located on Marblehead Neck. I was thrilled for the opportunity to reignite the dormant 'From the Rooftops' series that typically appears on Thursday. Since my last outing at the Jeremiah Lee Mansion, the opportunities seemed to have dried up. I drove over the causeway and marveled at the clouds forming on what would end up being a near-90 degree day. I was welcomed into the home and we made our way to the rooftop widow's walk. The view was incredible and the breeze refreshing (did I [...]

Marblehead from the Water

Nothing quite matches the view of Marblehead from the water - a fact I was reminded of during a boat tour around Children's Island put on by the YMCA. We boarded the Hannah Glover on Saturday under perfect conditions and departed for the Children's Island orientation. While it was great to see the back of Children's Island (I shared an image of that yesterday), I was anticipating a few new compositions on our return to shore. Thankfully, the clear blue skies present at departure had given way to a few clouds close to the horizon and one errant one that [...]

A Natural Infinity Pool on Marblehead Neck

In the Summer of 2013, we were invited to a certain house on the neck being rented by friends (now neighbors). It was actually our second time to this property on Fishing Point Lane and so I made sure to bring my camera as I had spied some interesting possibilities on our last time out. As the kids clambered on rocks, I wandered the property and found this shallow pool of water overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and Tinker's Island in the distance. At the right angle, the small collection of water took on the appearance of a natural infinity pool [...]

Clouds Reflecting in Marblehead Harbor at Dawn

Wednesday, April 23rd proved to be a surprisingly productive morning which began with an incredible sunrise captured from Bass Rock Lane. After exploring a number of compositions there, I decided to drive out to Hammond Park as the gathering clouds promised a continuation of the great light I had been treated to. The view did not disappoint with calm waters serving to reflect the gathering clouds in Marblehead Harbor at dawn. I tried a few different compositions here as well but liked the expansive view - especially with the sole boat moored in the harbor.

Spring Sunrise from Hammond Park

With yet another snowstorm predicted to hit Marblehead in the next few days, I decided to head out early on Sunday morning to capture some storefronts for my Keep it Local series. I checked the forecast the night before and was hoping for the best with the 'partially cloudy' conditions that were predicted. As I left the house at 5:45am, the first hints of light appeared and I saw some impressive streaks of clouds. I only hoped that the clouds would hold their shape and be angled correctly when I reached the harbor. As I drove, I continued to watch [...]
