Summer Sunsets on the Harbor

With a record breaking second heat wave already this year, my thoughts have firmly turned to Summer and evenings spent chasing clouds across the causeway. On this night in September, I had set up on Corinthian Lane and captured one of the more incredible Summer sunsets on the harbor. The evening's sunset started off with yellows and oranges coloring the clouds and reflecting in the water below. Before it was over, the sunset had gone through a rainbow of colors including purples and finally reds. I can't wait to start chasing these warm Summer sunsets again.

Marblehead Sunset – 1 if by Land, 2 if by Air

On Saturday night, I once again chased a promising sunset across the causeway to Marblehead Neck and ended up on Parker Lane. From there I set up my 'real' camera at the top of the stairs and also decided to fly my drone overhead as I wondered which might offer the better composition. I ended up taking two different shots within three minutes of each other and still can't decide which view I prefer. The shot of this Marblehead Sunset by land has much better color and detail in the sky and the choice of a longer effective focal length [...]

Summer Sunsets are the Best (name this beach)

Today's image comes from a never-ending Summer sunset that took place on July 18th. I started shooting this sunset at 8pm on Parker Lane and it finally finished up at 8:18pm as I made my way to the small beach along the harbor on the Neck side of the causeway. I guess this is still considered part of Riverhead Beach as I can't find any other names for this small beach. If you know of its proper name, please let me know.

Boats in the Harbor

On Saturday night, I watched the clouds form and break and scouted out the various webcams pointed at Marblehead Harbor until I finally decided to get up and hope for a good sunset. I grabbed my camera as well as the Phantom 4 Pro with a specific location in mind. I drove across the causeway looking in my rearview mirror still unsure which way the sunset would go and parked along Foster Street in front of the Eastern Yacht Club. There I was greeted by the sounds of a steel drum band and learned that an engagement party was taking [...]

Rowing through Marblehead Harbor

As we head further into May and warm weather beckons, boats begin to fill Marblehead harbor's prized moorings. It won't be long before warm summer sunset take shape overhead and reflect on the still water as on this evening in September when I captured a lone kayak rowing through Marblehead harbor.

Old Town Sunset – Aerial Panorama of historic downtown Marblehead

On Wednesdays, March 29th, the dense clouds covering Marblehead for most of the day finally began to break as the day neared its end. I hadn't flown my Phantom 4 Pro in a few weeks due to rain, clouds and otherwise terrible lighting. When I finally made it up in the air, I knew the lighting on this night was going to be pretty special and ended up with a spectacular view of an Old Town sunset. I explored a few vantage points as I flew over Marblehead and fought the building wind as I chased the light. I found [...]

Capturing the Moment

The night of July 5th, 2016 produced the most beautiful light I have ever encountered in my 9 years in Marblehead and resulted in (now) 13 images shared from this one evening. It really was a joy to watch the fog develop as the day approached its end and then be awed by the foggy sunset that followed. As much as I strive to capture perfect moments of the town of Marblehead and share its beauty with current and former residents, I have very few images of myself actually capturing these moments. And so when I spotted a woman pull [...]

September Sunset over the Causeway

I'm sure I'm not the only one who cannot wait for the warm weather of Spring to take hold and usher in long days spent outside. Today's image continues this week's causeway theme with a view of a beautiful September sunset over the causeway. I lucked out with the timing of this particular sunset and the cumulous clouds that moved over Marblehead Neck just in time to reflect the golden glow of light towards me and off the still waters of the ocean below. The causeway isn't the focal point of this particular image but serves to guide the viewer's eye [...]

Summer Sunsets on the Harbor

Though it has been great to explore views over Marblehead with my new Phantom 4 Pro, I cannot wait for the mooring to fill with boats and capture warm Summer sunsets on the harbor. This image was taken on a picture perfect evening in September but we are only five weeks away from seeing boats starting to fill Marblehead harbor for the season.

Last Light on Marblehead Neck

On March 8th, I captured one of my favorite aerial images of Marblehead Neck while the sun was still quite high in the sky. Afterward, I flew around the Neck and finally off the coast of Chandler Hovey Park as the sun set and cast its last light on Marblehead Neck. The most exciting aspect of capturing aerial images of Marblehead is the change in perspective which, in this image, shows the proximity of the Neck to the mainland and Boston's beautiful skyline in the distance.
