Christmas in Marblehead – Soft Light on an Empty Harbor

When I go out to shoot the town of Marblehead, it is not uncommon for me to find at least five different compositions in good light and then have to select one to share and place others in the archive. On this day, I had set up at the pier of the Pleon Yacht Club which offered me a number of photographic possibilities. This week, I wanted to share five different images captured from 3:45pm to 4:05pm on Christmas in Marblehead. After capturing the close up of Abbot Hall, I zoomed out and focused on the clouds that were now [...]

Christmas in Marblehead – Grace and St Michaels

When I go out to shoot the town of Marblehead, it is not uncommon for me to find at least five different compositions in good light and then have to select one to share and place others in the archive. On this day, I had set up at the pier of the Pleon Yacht Club which offered me a number of photographic possibilities. This week, I wanted to share five different images captured from 3:45pm to 4:05pm on Christmas in Marblehead. First up was this shot looking across the harbor at Grace Community Church and St. Michael's Steeple poking out [...]

Marblehead Neck under the Pink Glow of Sunset

In mid-December, I headed out before sunset to shoot from the causeway. It was yet another warm evening in a Winter that had been seeing above normal temperatures. I started to shoot as the sun set and the sky lit up in this pastel pink color. My favorite image included this view of Marblehead Neck with working boats along the shore and scattered clouds breaking up the beautiful sky.

Buoys at Sunset

As New Years day came to a close, my son and I went out to capture images of the first sunset of 2016. The sun was threatening to disappear behind the building clouds so we headed to Bass Rock Lane first and I shot a few images from the rocky edge. As we walked back to the car, I spotted this familiar scene and set about to capture the colorful buoys on a small shed with the light of sunset seen in the sky and reflected in the window while a small patch of grass danced in the wind.

Causeway Sunset

New Years Day was a busy one with an outing at dawn to shoot the start of the new year and another at sunset to chase some clouds. For the sunset shoot, I had my son in tow and noticed great light developing as we neared Marblehead and approached sunset. I quickly ran into the house for my camera and out we went to chase the light. The first stop was Bass Rocks Lane (picture maybe next week) but after that I ended up on the causeway while he hung out at Devereux. I shot towards Marblehead Neck but then turned [...]

Sunset Reflection to Welcome the New Year – First Sunset of 2016

New Years Day ended up being quite busy with a morning outing to capture the sunrise and an invitation for my son and I to go roller skating with several other families from Marblehead in the afternoon. As we returned from that outing, I noted the sun breaking through clouds and some great light hitting the ocean. I convinced my son to come out with me to capture the first sunset of 2016 and we were off. Our first stop was Bass Rock Lane which is very close to the house and offered the best chance for a shot of the light [...]

Top 10 of 2015 – Trodding Toward Sunset at Crocker Park

At #4 in the Top 10 of 2015 Countdown is the clearest view yet of the incredible snowfall that started off 2015. By February 10 when this image was taken, Marblehead was well on its way to record breaking quantities of snow with a first (for me) of having to dump some of it into the harbor. I had a feeling about conditions on this day and headed to Crocker Park just after 5pm to capture the sunset. With the white snow acting as a reflector of sunset's colors, I couldn't ask for better light to capture this familiar composition [...]

Sunset in the Snow

The past week in Marblehead featured some incredible sunrises and sunsets and, for a variety of reasons, I missed every single one of them. I got to enjoy a few while home with the family but was never in position to capture one. I decided to look through my 'to be posted' archive for vibrant sunsets and stopped at this image captured on February 10th of this year. I shared a horizontal view shortly after taking this picture of a beautiful sunset forming over Abbot Hall which I captured from Crocker Park covered in a very deep blanket of snow. [...]

The Glowing Waters of Marblehead Harbor

I drove across the causeway on Sunday and was delighted to see frostbite sailing underway but depressed by the absence of boats in the harbor. Between that, the too-early sunsets and the raw cold day Saturday, I was in the mood for a warm image to start this week. This image comes from July 16, 2013 and a boat ride through Marblehead Harbor. For those boaters out there with moorings in Marblehead Harbor, I'm sure I don't have to tell you just how amazing of a harbor we have in this town. There are literally hundreds of good angles and [...]

The Rain Cloud over Marblehead Neck

I've shared a few different images on this rain cloud that entered the skies over Marblehead on July 24, 2015. It really was a sight to see and, when the sun set and added a golden glow to the structure, I couldn't help but capture it from every possible angle. This view offers a glimpse of the rain cloud hovering over Marblehead Neck and given a sense of scale to the cloud.
