It’s Going to be a Good Day

After the purple dawn, a deep red sky, a rising red sun, and crossing over the lighthouse, the sun finished its ascent to start a wonderful Summer day. This the last of five posts this week documenting an incredible sunrise over Marblehead harbor.  This seemed a perfect way to lead up to my entry in the Marblehead Festival of the Arts as well as a showing of my photos at Lost + Found in Five Corners.  Lost + Found will be having a reception on Saturday, July 2nd from 6:30-9:30 - I hope to see you there and meet some of my readers in person!

Doing the Moondance

After the purple dawn, a deep red sky and a rising red sun, the sun crossed behind the lighthouse at Chandler Hovey park.  It wasn't until I arrived home that I was able to make out the name of the boat in the foreground...Moondance.  The irony of a boat named after the moon lined up with the rising sun is made more so by the shot I have of the Supermoon that almost exactly mirrors the sun position. This the fourth of five posts this week documenting an incredible sunrise over Marblehead harbor.  This seemed a perfect way to lead up to my [...]

Let There Be Light

Following a few minutes after yesterday's view of a purple dawn, the sky turned a deep red that was reflected by the boats in the harbor.  The clouds formed an incredible shape that looked a bit like the eye of a hurricane as they slowly drifted by.  I was fortunate that the wind was minimal as it allowed for a longer exposure that served to accentuate the saturation of the entire scene. This the second of five posts this week documenting an incredible sunrise over Marblehead harbor.  This seemed a perfect way to lead up to my entry in the [...]

Planet Marblehead

A warm shot for this week amidst the too-snowy Winter.  This one was taken in August aboard our old neighbor's sailboat and was a pretty standard shot of the lighthouse until I had the idea to turn it in on itself and create a little planet.  The sailboats and lighthouse lined up perfectly and the sky cooperated nicely for this effect.  It's a unique shot and hopefully brings a bit of warm memories to this cold, wet day.

Regatta at Redd’s Pond

Every weekend from March through November, the Marblehead Model Yacht Club sails their boats on Redd's pond.  The boats are incredible scale reproductions.  I was lucky enough to visit Redd's with my son during one of their regattas and captured this shot near the end of the race as the boat came to 'shore'.  The fall colors were an added bonus. Techical: Canon 50D and EF-S 17-55 lens.  Single exposure.

Little Harbor

Haven't had a chance to post this week.  Have been working on some shots of Ware and Oliver ponds but they aren't quite ready yet.  So I figured I would go to a shot from the week prior when I drove by little harbor on the way to Waterside Cemetery in hopes of finding some foliage.  I had to stop when I saw this scene before me.  From the reeds near shore to the stone wall, the island and anchored boats, this is a great snapshot of the beauty of our town. Technical: Canon 50D and EF-S 17-55mm 2.8 lens.  6 exposure [...]

Sailing Under the Harvest Moon

The harvest moon coincided with the first day of Fall this year.  I made my way to Fort Sewall hoping to catch the moon as it first came up over the horizon but low lying clouds interfered with the best laid plans.  Instead I was treated to the last Wednesday night race and the moon was good enough to come out of hiding for this shot. Technical: Canon 50D and EF 70-200 f/4 IS.  Single exposure.
