Marblehead at the End of the Rainbow

Anyone remember that incredible rainbow that shone on June 17th? If not, click here to see the full double rainbow over Ram's island LINK. After capturing the full rainbow, I recomposed looking for other unique scenes with the bright rainbow only partially in the frame. This image of the house at the end of a cliff with the brightest part of the double rainbow caught my eye but has been waiting in the 'to be posted' queue for almost two months now. Here it is now to mark the end of my third year posting photos on Wednesdays in Marblehead. Come [...]

Summer Sunset at Devereux Beach

This Summer has offered one incredible sunset after another. This image from July 15th came about when I was out in search of long exposure images at Devereux Beach [LINK to that image]. Before getting to work on the image I had in mind, I had to stop and compose a few images to capture the beauty of soft sunset light with wispy clouds hanging over a calm ocean. I love the reflected light off the clouds here and the soft white surf as the water hit the sand. Couldn't ask for a calmer or more beautiful scene than this [...]

The Marker at Fifteen-Foot Rock

Another image from Wednesday's impromptu outing to capture the action of Marblehead Junior Race Week. As we made our way around the race course, I spotted this marker in bright red and green and the intriguing letters FR. We came around and I was just able to include the great clouds above and enough water below to offer a reflection. I later found out the FR stands for Fifteen-Foot Rock. Hopefully many of you will pass this marker this weekend as you head out to sea from Marblehead Harbor.

Long Exposure – Clouds Over Devereux Beach

It has been a while since I've gone out to take a long exposure image and this Tuesday spot has been taken up by other images in the interim. On Monday, July 15th, I found myself with an opportunity to do so once again and headed out in search of subjects. I had an idea for a shoot at Devereux Beach and arrived there at 6pm to see if I could make it happen. When I saw these soft wispy clouds hanging over the ocean, I changed my plan and decided to shoot over the water instead. The three white [...]

North Goosebury Island Under the Clouds

On Tuesday night, a good friend invited me out for a boat ride at 6pm. My wife and kids were still in Virginia (I had been down there revisiting DC the prior week) and so I jumped at the opportunity. A quick stop at Mino's for dinner and a cooler of refreshments accompanied us as we headed down to Salem harbor. Once on board, the sun cleared a cloud bank and we were treated to some incredible light. Seth took me around Naugus head and Peaches Point and then around Marblehead Neck before heading out towards Baker's Island. As we [...]

Full Double Rainbow over Marblehead

On Monday night, I shared the story and first image from my wild race to capture the incredible double rainbow that took shape at sunset over Marblehead. [LINK] As I mentioned, I had driven to Bass Rock Lane as it was the closest spot to the house offering unobstructed views of the water. Shortly after capturing the image of a double rainbow that I shared immediately after coming home, I turned the camera to the portrait/vertical orientation and fired off 6 shots in the hopes of capturing the full double rainbow. While the earlier shot required little in the way [...]

Tendrils on the Neck and Tinker’s Island in Storm Light

On Friday, the grey skies that had dominated for days on end finally threatened to break. As I drove home after work, I noted some dramatic skies with amazing cloud formations taking shape and decided to head out as soon as I could. I stopped home long enough to grab my camera and tripod and then made my way out to Marblehead Neck. I stopped at a number of spots along the way and will share those in the days to come. One of my final destinations was Castle Rock where I took this view after the more classic one [...]

Sunset Cloud at Devereux Beach

Yesterday, I shared the image of cannon fire at sunset. Before crossing the causeway, I had stopped at Devereux Beach and noticed this single cloud reflecting the golden light of the setting sun. I chose a portrait orientation so that I could include the light reflecting off the ocean water and the surf along the sand. Seemed like a perfect image heading into the Memorial Day weekend.

The Ocean Beckons at Devereux Beach

This image comes from the storm that came to shore on March 7th and didn't leave us until the 9th. The Nor'Easter had incredible power and displayed it with waves that easily crashed over the causeway. I went out as much as I could and tried to capture the incredible scenes of nature's power. By March 9th, the storm had finally pushed away from shore but its tail end continue to send wave after wave crashing to shore. I had hoped to make my way to Devereux beach to capture the waves but Ocean Avenue had been closed due to the dangers of crossing [...]

Dramatic Sky from Castle Rock

As I continue to share images captured on a recent Wednesday in Marblehead, we reach Castle Rock. As I drove past Ocean Avenue, I noted that the clouds were thickening and the breaks in the clouds were coming less often. I arrived at Castle Rock and proceeded to climb to a good vantage point from which to photograph the private beach that these homes on the Neck are privy to. Unfortunately, I reached the top just as the light faded and the ocean turned to a flat ugly blue. I went ahead and composed this image, checked all my settings [...]
