Winter Beach Sunset – From above the Ocean and the Edge of the Waves

Last night, I drove out to Devereux Beach with both drone and camera in hand hoping to capture a nice Winter beach sunset. I had started to become comfortable flying the Phantom 4 Pro and was now looking to start pushing its boundaries to see what I could do that was more creative. At the same time, I didn't want to miss out on shooting a nice sunset with the real camera. I made it to Devereux beach with plenty of time to spare and set up the drone first. I crossed the causeway and found the combination of water and [...]

Crashing Surf at Chandler Hovey Park

After capturing the view of sunset from Chandler Hovey Park, I watched the light until it started to fade and then turned to head towards my car. As I did, I spotted pink light over Childrens Island and walked around the lighthouse to see the last glow of sunset fading near the horizon. At the same time, I heard the familiar sound of crashing surf rolling the pebbles along that section of Chandler Hovey Park where flat rocks lead to a miniature beach. I quickly got into position and slowed the shutter speed to capture the movement of the water as [...]

Foggy Days at Castle Rock

Since the forecast for today and tomorrow is a mix of rain and fog, I thought I would dive into the archive and share this image of foggy days at Castle Rock taken in May 2012. Every time I share an image of Castle Rock, I'm reminded of the incredible beauty of this small part of Marblehead Neck. You could spend hours watching and listening to the surf as it comes to shore and tumbles the rocks creating a perfect symphony of sights and sounds any time of year.

Calm Sunset at Preston Beach

On July 23rd, I had headed to Preston Beach hoping for a nice sunset as a storm approached. I started off shooting the incredibly calm waters of the Atlantic Ocean as the clouds began to reflect the light of the setting sun. Little did I know that only 10 minutes later I would be shooting a brilliant pink-red sky with rainbows and lightning bolts. With the recent warm days, many of our beaches have been packed as people flock to the ocean to find some solace from the heat. It was nice to have the beach to myself on this [...]

Summer Days at Castle Rock

With the gray, raw day that just passed, I was looking for a bright Summer view of Marblehead and found this image from mid-September. I had received an ultra-wide angle on loan from Canon and was busy putting it through its paces when I decided to try a few compositions at Castle Rock. The lens was proving to be quite challenging in that every part of the frame needed to be used to produce a solid final image. For this shot, I set up the camera on a tripod very close to the ocean's edge and waited for the moment [...]

Crashing Surf at Castle Rock

On Wednesday, March 2nd, a brief but strong rainstorm swept through Marblehead. As it left, the sky began to clear and I noted some interesting low clouds skirting above the horizon. Though I had been fighting a cold for a few days, I decided I had to get out of the house and see if I could find any nice compositions with the rapidly changing light. As tends to be the case, I couldn't stop at just one spot and so, between 11am and 12:15pm, I shot at Fountain Park, various spots along Little Harbor and Doliber Cove, before finishing [...]

The Mighty Sea and the Rocky Shore

Today's image comes from December 21, 2012 and a trip to Castle Rock at the tail end of a storm. I can't recall the specifics of this storm but I still remember the power of the waves thrown towards the rocky shore of Marblehead Neck by the mighty sea. In this frame you can see the remnants of the last wave cascading down the large granite formations while another wave crests and approaches the shore. Castle Rock might be my favorite spot for storm watching and if a storm happens to hit peak power and high tide around sunset, so [...]

Open Seating for Watching the Ocean

In August 2012, I was able to realize the goal of shooting the Lipton Tea House on Marblehead Neck. Once finished with that incredible structure, I was invited by the owner to photograph other locations on the beautifully manicured grounds abutting the Atlantic Ocean. I found this Adirondack chairs perfectly positioned for watching the ocean and went about figuring out possible compositions. As you can see by the strong shadows, the sun was nearly overhead at this point which made for less than ideal conditions. I hope the final image conveys both the luxury of being able to sit in [...]

Golden Reflections

Back once more to the evening of May 12 and the clouds over the Atlantic Ocean as seen from Devereux Beach. The impressive cloud formation that I shared earlier in the week gradually coalesced and became more compacted near the horizon. As the sun set, it threw its light towards the clouds which served to project golden reflections that easily shone on the still ocean water.

Beauty in the Clouds

On May 12, I headed down to Devereux Beach having chased these clouds from my house. Though I usually use clouds to help highlight another element in the scene, for this image I wanted to focus on the beauty in the clouds. The intricate structures within the expansiveness of these clouds made for a great subject and I used the still Atlantic ocean as a reflector of the bright colors.
