A Volley of Marblehead Fireworks from Riverhead Beach

I mentioned on Saturday night's post (CLICK HERE TO SEE) that I had gone out to the causeway in order to capture the harbor illumination (shared on Monday - CLICK HERE TO SEE) but managed to also see an unofficial display of Marblehead fireworks. That earlier image was a vertical meant to capture the entire arc of the flare. Just before that rocket, I had captured this horizontal one that also managed to include two other flares exploding around Marblehead Harbor. While the top of the arc is missing due to how close I was standing to the firework, I [...]

Marblehead’s Annual Harbor Illumination

Despite the wrench thrown at Marblehead by way of Hurricane Arthur, this was an incredible weekend filled with activities. Though the annual fireworks display was postponed due to rain and then cancelled due to rough seas, I had decided to make my way to the causeway in order to capture the more unique tradition of the harbor illumination. I had captured the harbor illumination in year's past but always changed my focus as soon as the fireworks show began. This year, I could concentrate my time and compositions on the red flares circling Marblehead Harbor and forming a beautiful ring [...]

Marblehead Fireworks from Riverhead Beach

The 2014 edition of the Marblehead Fireworks ran into a major obstacle as a hurricane formed and arrived on Friday, July 4. With a rain date of Saturday, July 5th, it seemed the show would go on. Unfortunately, the hurricane left rough seas in its wake and the barge operator called off the show owing to dangerous conditions in transporting the fireworks. As disappointed as I was not to be able to capture the fireworks this year (I had a good spot planned out), I decided to head out and focus my efforts on the unique Marblehead tradition of the [...]

Sunset over Riverhead Beach

Riverhead beach feels like the Rodney Dangerfield of Marblehead's beaches - 'No Respect'. With its location directly across Ocean Avenue from Devereux Beach, it is often overlooked by beach-goers. Riverhead beach does offer a number of opportunities that its big brother across the road cannot - calm waters, a launch for boats and abundant sea glass. Its coast is also filled with S curves that make for some great compositions. This image was captured on the last day of November in 2013. I was out chasing the clouds you see featured prominently in the sky when I decided on this [...]

Riverhead Beach and the Causeway

I haven't shared a black and white image in quite some time and found this one waiting in the queue so thought it was a perfect opportunity to bring it out. This image was taken on Sept 2nd at 7:50am. This was a period of rain and fog which alternated between boring grey and beautiful moments of light. On this particular morning, the sky seemed to be clearing so I headed out to try to capture some of that nice light. As I drove, the light seemed to be best to the east and I ended up on Ocean Avenue [...]

Riverhead Beach at Sunset

After the big sky that I posted yesterday, I watched as the clouds moved off and sunset's pastel colors took over. I decided to walk down to Riverhead beach and ended up making my way to the boat ramp. With the high tide, I was able to compose this image and use the curb of the ramp as a leading line into the image. I decided to use a long exposure to calm the water and put a polarizer on the front of the lens to help bring out the subtle reflections of the clouds above.
