Sunset Lights up the Boats in Marblehead Harbor

This past August featured some incredible sunsets that formed over Marblehead Harbor. I tried to capture as many as I could and was amazed at how much the colors would vary from day to day. This particular sunset took place on August 19th. I decided to shoot from the Pleon launch but, at the last minute, walked down to the float on the water to get a different vantage point. From this view at water level, the boats in Marblehead harbor took on a larger part of the composition and the light reflected deeper into the frame. I made sure [...]

Sunset Reflects in the Waters of the Forest River

I mentioned earlier today that I managed to capture the dawn and sunset on Tuesday, October 15th and thought it would be fitting to share both in a single day. As 5:30 rolled around, I stepped out, looked up at the sky and saw an incredible texture of clouds alternative with blue skies. This was a far cry from the dense cloud cover we had for much of the day. I decided to head out to Lafayette street where I had captured the dawn less than 12 hours earlier (the days really are getting shorter...) and set up for the [...]

Reflections of Fall Colors in Marblehead

Fall seems to be coming early this year with trees turning easily two weeks sooner than they did last year. I had started to notice the maples around town showing off their bright red colors and decided to drive around town on Saturday to see if I could find any to photograph. As I drove up Washington Street and passed Abbot Hall on my right, I saw a flash of red in my peripheral vision. I quickly made the right to circle around and found this tree on the grounds of Abbot Hall at peak color. The problem was finding [...]

Foggy Morning in Marblehead Day 1 – Marblehead Harbor at Dawn

On the night of Tuesday, September 10th we were on the cusp of a 90 degree day and so I turned to my weather apps to try to predict the next morning's sunrise conditions. I was disheartened to see clear skies in the forecast and turned to twitter to see if Matt Noyes might help me out. As a testament to his availability and knowledge, I received the following information from him that night: "Well...the app likely says clear b/c it's tied to computers which also mostly say clear after 3am clearing trend commences. But..Presence of cloud deck now, including [...]

Dawn Breaks Over Marblehead Harbor

Back to the sunrise of August 3rd to start this week off right. As I mentioned previously, I woke at 4:45am on this particular Saturday and decided to take advantage of that by heading down to the Crocker Park area to shoot the dawn as it broke over Marblehead Harbor. Before heading up there, I ran down to the water's edge and captured these incredible colors in the sky and reflecting in the waters of Marblehead harbor. I love seeing the harbor filled to capacity with boats and the calm waters on this early August morning helped keep them sharp [...]

Sunset from Bass Rock Lane

I mentioned on Monday's post that I had gone out last Wednesday as the sun set to explore Bass Rock Lane. After taking a few images of the houses that line the water's edge, I settled down near this tide pool to catch reflections of the setting sun. This was taken at the peak of the night's color show. The still waters in the tide pool made for a great reflective surface that mirrored what was happening in the sky above. It's always exciting to find a new spot to shoot from and even more so when the weather and [...]

Tide Pools and Reflected Sunset Light

On Wednesday December 5th, I was just getting home after taking care of errands all day and noted the light and clouds as sunset approached. I went inside to grab the camera and drove out again to find a new spot. The light changed quickly as the sun ducked below the horizon and I had enough time to make it across Atlantic Avenue to Bass Rock Lane before the light disappeared. I managed to capture one frame of the homes along the water illuminated by light and then began to explore the rock formations at the end of Bass Rock [...]

Long Exposure – Clouds Fly Over Browns Island

I remember when I took this photo in February that it had been prompted in large part by someone at the Reporter asking if I had any shots of Brown's (or Crowninshield) Island. I had to confess I didn't have any that featured the whole island and so I made it a point to head down to Harding Lane and find a good vantage point. I had chosen a day with good clouds and a nice wind and decided to shoot this as a long exposure. The fading light made exposures quite difficult and I managed a single good image [...]

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 [...]

Marblehead Harbor Bathed in a Red Sunset

For the past two Wednesdays, I have been sharing photos from a single location as an incredible Summer sunset unfolded before me. You can catch up on the first [LINK] and second [LINK] by clicking the links. This was the end of the show. The colors that night had gone from the yellow glow as the sun set below the horizon to pinks then deep purples and finally this amazing red. As I mentioned before, this shoot was in start contrast to the 'chasing the light' one I had done previously in that I just moved a few feet in [...]
