Pink Glow over the Forest River

I last captured an image from this spot over four years ago and had recently used it on the title page of my Wednesdays in Marblehead book. This past week, I had returned to the spot at dawn to photography the Fall colors I had noted on a recent drive down Leggs Hill Road. The dawn photoshoot did not pan out and so, when the sunset seemed poised to explode in color on Sunday night, I hurried back to this spot. I arrived just as the pink glow over the Forest River was reaching its peak and captured this image [...]

Pink Sunset from Riverhead Beach

I've shared quite a few images from this photo shoot that took place during an unusually low tide on September 9th including having devoted a week to five of my favorites. I said I wasn't done sharing and, as you can see, there are a few more images in which I was treated to incredible light over both sides of the Marblehead causeway. In this image, I had taken position along the edge of the causeway abutting Riverhead Beach. The clouds had formed into streaks that reflected the pink colors of sunset over a full harbor with both Abbot Hall [...]

Low Tide in Marblehead – Pink Sky over Devereux Beach

The sky was erupting in pink at this point so, as soon as I finished capturing yesterday's image (had to wait for a break in traffic), I turned my attention back to Devereux Beach. The smooth sand and water were doing wonders at reflecting the pink sky over Devereux Beach and I found this composition perfectly captured the feel of awe and wonder I felt standing on the causeway. I bet most 'Headers would be hard pressed to identify this sandy beach as Devereux (though the houses along the Neck in the distance give it away). It's so refreshing to [...]

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 [...]

Pink Sunset and Fog over Marblehead Harbor

Back to the incredible sunset that took place on Wednesday, July 16. I've share two images from that night so far but, between the fog over Marblehead Harbor and the spectacular colors that formed at sunset and for the 45 minutes that followed, I have 10 more images yet to share from this evening. I previously shared an image including Abbot Hall and one focused on the cranes at the end of the pier from which I was shooting. This was the view looking out toward Marblehead Light. At this point, the colors in the sky had shifted from blue [...]

Pink Sunset over Marblehead Harbor filled with Boats

After the incredible weather that we experienced on Mother's Day and with today's expected continued warmth, it's only a matter of time before Marblehead Harbor is filled with boats. This was the view on an early June evening at sunset when a beautiful sky, made up of pinks reflected off clouds above, washed over Marblehead Harbor. I was standing on the Boston Yacht Club float on this particular evening as I had just captured an image of the cannon firing at sunset when this sunset began to take shape. I stayed on the floating dock as the composition from water [...]

Pink Sunset for Valentine’s Day

The February full moon (named the Snow Moon - how appropriate) was due to rise on Friday night coinciding with Valentine's Day. I was scheduled to work until 4pm and decided to throw my camera bag and tripod in the car so that I could try to get a shot of the moonrise before meeting my family for a romantic dinner at Gourmet Garden. As I drove home, I noticed clouds building and hoped they wouldn't block my view of the moonrise. Based on the projected path of the full moon, I decided to head straight to Crocker Park for [...]

Sea Smoke – Cold Dawn on Devereux Beach

Saturday morning brought truly arctic temperatures to Marbleheadwith measurements of 2 F (before the wind chill). I drove around Marblehead Neck to find the best examples of sea smoke coming off the relatively balmy Atlantic Ocean waters and decided the best view could be had from the causeway near Devereux Beach. I started shooting at dawn when the light cloud cover erupted in pink hues before the sun rose and lit the whole sky in a fiery red (I shared that image yesterday). I sought to include as much of Devereux Beach and the Neck with Tinker's Island out in [...]

Pink Clouds at Dawn Over Marblehead Harbor

Something told me that Tuesday morning's sunrise might be worth an early wake up so I dutifully set the alarm a bit early and made my way out to Front street at 5:30 in the morning. At first, the skies disappointed with some decent morning light but no clouds to reflect the pinks that typically accompany a late Fall sunrise. Just as the sun threatened to break above the clouds, these wisps showed up and quickly fell into place. I was shooting in landscape (horizontal) format and quickly switched to this portrait (vertical) orientation to get the tops of the [...]

Chasing the Light – One Sunset, Five Unique Photos

This will be a bit of a longer post to recap this great Summer sunset. I also want to point out that there will not be any posts for the next few days as I am driving up to the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont to try and capture the incredible color up there. Today, I wanted to share the last image from a spectacular sunset that took place back in mid-August and explain some of my thought process at the time. To refresh your memory, for a stretch of 3-4 nights in August, we had been getting these incredible deep [...]
