The Blizzard of 2015

As I did for the Blizzard of 2013, I again setup my camera to shoot a time-lapse for the duration of the storm. I started the sequence of every two minute intervals at 11:00pm and finished up a little after sunset when the snow finally slowed. During that time, I captured snow plows, the neighbor clearing his driveway, our kids playing in the fresh powder and my daughter's snowman slowly being buried. Here is the full sequence condensed to 23 seconds of the Blizzard of 2015: [KGVID poster="https://wednesdaysinmhd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Horizontal1.jpg" width="854" height="480"]https://wednesdaysinmhd.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Blizzard-in-Marblehead.mp4[/KGVID]

A Blizzard on State Street

As I write today's post, predictions are for Marblehead to receive anywhere from 2 to 3 feet of snow from Monday night through Tuesday. That led me to my photography archives and this image from February 9, 2013 when we last received almost 2 feet of snow. Once the driving ban was lifted, I headed out to capture scenes of Marblehead after the blizzard. This view looking up State Street hadn't been shared until now and seemed to be a nice compliment to yesterday's view.

Winter Wonderland on State Street

On Saturday, January 24th, we had one of our first real snow storms of the Winter season. It had been a while since I was last able to capture images of Marblehead in the freshly falling snow and so, as soon as I woke up, I headed out the door with a few destinations in mind. I shared an image of Fort Sewall over the weekend but this (and another image coming Wednesday) were my favorites from the day. I had just parked on Washington Street and captured images of Old Town House when I turned the corner and found [...]

Falling Snow at Fort Sewall

On Saturday, January 24th, snow finally fell on Marblehead. It's been a Winter without snow but we finally received a nice helping of the white stuff. As I looked out the window in the morning, I noticed the snow sticking to the trees and I knew I had to make my pilgrimage to Fort Sewall. On January 18, 2009, I had captured my favorite image of Fort Sewall in the snow and had returned with almost every snowfall to see if I might be able to improve upon it. Six years later, I finally had the right conditions. I came [...]

Redd’s Pond Covered in Snow

Another image of snow - this one from January 3, 2014. This was a more intense storm during which I captured huge waves crashing on the causeway and later a view of ice from water that had spilled over near the Barnacle. This was a much quieter scene than those with Redd's Pond covered in snow and not a footprint to be found among the blanket of white.

Footprints in the Snow

Hardly any snow has fallen thus far but it seemed appropriate to share this image today leading up to Christmas later in the week. The image was captured on February 14, 2014 while I explored Crocker Park after a pretty impressive snow storm. I trudged up the small hill from which I could capture Abbot Hall and the houses surrounding it and noted the footprints in the snow. I decided to use the steps as a (broken) leading line into the scene.

Foliage in the Snow at Gatchell Park

Though the weather forecasters all predicted cold and a wintry mix for Sunday, November 2nd, I don't think I was the only one surprised when the snow started falling in significant amounts and actually sticking. The strong winds during the start of the storm made shooting impossible but, around 1pm, the winds died down and the snow started falling more gently. I grabbed my gear and headed out the door with a few shots in mind. I had continued to scout locations with Fall foliage around Marblehead and drove directly to the first spot only to find visibility impacting the [...]

Frozen Moment at Castle Rock (photo and video)

Today's image comes from the dawn/sunrise photoshoot at Castle Rock on February 19th. I've shared a few other images from this outing but hadn't yet worked on this image with a composition aimed at including the waves coming to shore and reflecting the colors of dawn on this cold morning. Immediately before capturing this image, I had switched the camera to movie mode and recorded 40 seconds of the sounds and feel of watching the dawn from Castle Rock. Click below to watch the video for yourself and see how the final photo and video compare.

Crocker Park and Abbot Hall

I am posting this image of a snow covered Crocker Park and unique composition including Abbot Hall in the hopes that it might ward off the coming storm and keep our streets free of any more white flaky stuff. This winter has been long and cold and really needs to come to an end. Let's see if this works...

Chandler Hovey Park and Children’s Island

An image from mid-February captured as I headed out in search of the full moon and ended up with a really nice winter sunset as a bonus. I had been shooting wide angle shots encompassing the nearly empty harbor with the few working boats moored in its protective waters when I saw this composition. I zoomed in so that Chandler Hovey Park and Marblehead Light were visible under the soft pink hues of sunset while including the whole of Children's Island just beyond. The setting sun added a brilliant warm glow to the scene and the snow served to break [...]
