Moon Reflecting On Frozen Redd’s Pond

It's become a tradition for me to share my annual New Year's Day slideshow and this year's 10-minute show received an incredible welcome. Another part of the day's tradition is going out to shoot. I've captured some incredible sunrises on New Year's Day in the past few years but couldn't motivate for the early morning awakening this year. Instead, I drove around as sunset approached searching for a new composition. With the recent cold temperatures, I thought I might find some frozen waters but struck out along the shore. I then stopped at Black Joe's and Redd's ponds and found [...]

Watching the Moon Rise from Fort Sewall

By popular demand - an image of the full moon rise from Fort Sewall captured on July 11, 2014. When I go out to shoot, I will often return with several images that I want to share. Such was the case with the full moon rise of July 11-12. On that first night, I had hoped for a new composition of the moon rising over Chandler Hovey Park as seen from Fort Sewall and achieved that when I used the leaves of the great tree at the Fort to frame this shot. However, moments later, the Glover's Regiment began their [...]

Dinghy Under the Moon at Sunset

This seemed like a perfect image to start off what is supposed to be a beautiful, warm, Summer weekend. The image comes from the evening of June 2nd and a trip to the Rockett Landing off Village Street. I shared a photo captured from the top of the pier earlier but had taken this one shortly before walking back up to the road. I was struck by the light first and foremost and decided on a vertical orientation so that the crescent moon could be included in the final frame with the dinghy tied up for the night.

Leave the Light On under a Crescent Moon

I went to sleep on Sunday night after checking forecasts for the morning and thinking there was a descent chance at a good sunrise. The chance wasn't quite high enough for me to set an alarm but I figured that if I woke in time, I would head out the door. Sure enough I woke at 4am and took that as a sign of good things to come. I had mapped out the direction of the sunrise and decided that Crocker Park would offer the best vantage point. I was pleasantly surprised to see how much Marblehead Harbor had filled [...]

Summer Swim Under the Light of the Moon

As the days get cooler, I can't let go of these Summer images. This particular one came from mid-July when I was fortunate to capture great wispy clouds reflecting the pink light of sunset over Devereux Beach. The ocean was warm enough at this point for people to be captured in silhouette swimming in the waters. Can't really beat the feeling of a warm Summer night spent at Devereux Beach.

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 [...]

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 [...]

Cherry Blossoms Start to Bloom Under the Half Moon

Following up on yesterday's image with a half moon, I decided to share this one of my favorite tree in town starting to bloom. If you can believe it, this photo was taken on March 31, 2012. Last I checked this tree, it was still far from blooming. I had wanted to capture the details in the branch and the blossoms in their varied stages of blossoming. Again, as yesterday, the issue was the negative space that surrounded the branch. Fortunately, I found a great element to break up the space. The issue next was a technical one - how [...]

Commercial Street Dock Under the Half Moon

On Wednesday, April 3rd, I awoke before the sun rose and headed out in search of good light. I ended up at Hammond Park and shared an image from there last week. After that image, I kept looking for new and different compositions and happened upon this one. The now old (and replaced) Commercial Street dock was set at a nice diagonal and the lights on the causeway were still (mostly) lit at 6:10am when this shot was taken. There was a subtle pink/orange glow at the horizon (almost 90 degrees from the angle of the sun rise) which helped [...]

Worm Moon Rises Over Marblehead Neck

On the same night that I captured Monday's image of the frozen harbor at sunset, I also managed this image of the full Worm moon rising over Marblehead Neck. The original plan was to shoot this moon as it rose over the lighthouse. I arrived at the location I had scouted with too much time to spare so I drove across the causeway and photographed the ice along the harbor as the sun set. Given the clouds on the mainland side, I had little hope for the moon rise. As I packed up and drove back across the causeway however, [...]
