State Street Sunrise

Just like Monday's image of Mud Puddle Toys, this image comes 5 years after a very similar one. I had captured the sunset over State Street in November 2010 and always meant to return for the sunrise view. The position of the sunrise is such that it occurs at the base of State Street during the Winter and it seemed like I would get a perfect complement to that image with a sunrise version. For whatever reason, I hadn't captured State Street at sunrise until Saturday morning. I began shooting on this morning along Washington Street before heading to State [...]

Sunrise through the Cloudbank

The temperatures on Saturday, October 17 threatened to dip below freezing overnight and I thought there might be a chance of seeing seasmoke in the harbor. I had to be in Portsmouth for a conference at 8:15am but figured I would have just enough time to capture the sunrise from Front Street. As I drove, the temperature on my car's thermometer displayed a cold 32F on this mid-October day and I remained with high hopes until I reached Front Street. There was no seasmoke to see though the cold air above warm water did combine to form a nice cloud [...]

Brilliant Sunrise over Cormorant Rock

On August 29, I headed to Chandler Hovey Park before dawn in order to capture the supermoon setting over Abbot Hall. As it happened, the moon set 30 minutes before sunrise and so I had plenty of time to explore other scenes in the dawn light. I took a few pictures of Marblehead Bell and Cormorant Rock as the light of the rising sun filled the sky with shades of orange and red. I had actually turned back towards town when the sun finally rose and only noticed it by the strong reflection of light coming off the houses across [...]

Summer Sunrise at Doliber Cove

On Wednesday, July 1, a storm was predicted for Marblehead as was early morning fog. With that in mind, I set the alarm clock for 4:30am in hopes of capturing a beautiful dawn and Summer sunrise at Doliber Cove. I arrived to low tide and lackluster light but that all changed as the sun began to rise above the horizon and clouds started to shift in the sky. I moved from my original vantage point to create a more dynamic composition and was really happy with the way this came out. The boats in the water, houses along Crowninshield road [...]

Lobstering under the Rising Sun

In early May I headed out at dawn in large part to capture the tree in bloom along Washington Street. As I left the house, I spotted the sun beginning to rise and a brilliant red glow reflecting off the clouds. I quickly decided on a stop at Hammond Park. I grabbed the camera (no time for a tripod) and adjust settings as the sun began to disappear into the clouds. As luck would have it, I caught the September Song heading out of Marblehead harbor on a lobstering expedition under the rising sun.

Lighting Up the Cherry Blossoms and Abbot Hall

Today's image represents my third (and final) attempt to capture the cherry blossoms on Washington Street with Abbot Hall towering overhead. I mention in Monday's post that I first noted this scene on April 26 and captured it under interesting skies but lamented the cherry blossom had yet to bloom. I returned on Tuesday, May 5th at sunrise but the mostly cloudy skies blocked any sun - I ended up shooting the wider scene instead. When I woke on Wednesday, May 6th at 5:45am and saw the perfect sky outside, I quickly grabbed the camera bag and returned to this [...]

Cotton Candy Sky over Marblehead Harbor

I've shared two other images from this incredibly pink sunrise that took place in March of 2014. In this image, the color of the sky and character of the clouds combined to form what looked like a cotton candy sky over Marblehead Harbor.

Sun Star and Sea Smoke at Castle Rock

Yesterday morning's sea smoke was responsible for one of the most frenetic and harried photo shoots I have ever had. I mentioned in yesterday's post that I had crossed the causeway a little after 6:30 and noted sea smoke coming off the Atlantic ocean as well as within Marblehead Harbor. Over the next hour, I shot at Castle Rock (twice), Corinthian Lane (once) and Foster Street (twice). Each outing lasted 10 minutes and was followed by a mad dash to the next location. With temperatures of -4F and wind chills of easily -20F, I could not stand more than 10 [...]

Sunlight through the Windshield at Little Harbor

This image comes from a dawn photo shoot in early October. I had decided to shoot in the area around Little Harbor on this particular morning as I had noticed a few trees starting to show their Fall colors. Though the trees were far from peak, the combination of morning light and clouds added up to a strong outing. At this point, the sun had risen high enough to cast its light over Brown's Island. The small boat had rotated so that the sunlight could be seen shining through the windshield and I captured this image to include the boat [...]

Marblehead Harbor Bathed in Fog

Continuing with the look back at September, this image was taken on September 11, 2013. Marblehead was treated to dense fog on this particular morning and, rather than quickly dissipate after sunrise, the fog on this day stayed and stayed. I ended up shooting scenes of Marblehead Harbor bathed in fog from four different locations. As the sun rose, it added a beautiful orange light to the thick fog and, in this scene, you can make out a few boats in the harbor (and not much else) under the bright early morning sun.
