The Surfer on Devereux Beach

On November 3rd, the same night during which I captured the causeway and harbor under great light and a clammer in the ocean, I also found this guy surfing in the waters off Devereux Beach. As he came out of the water around sunset, I found the human element added greatly to the view of Marblehead Neck beyond. I captured this frame with the surfboard parallel to the ground and reflecting some light which helped focus the viewers eye on the relatively small surfer and thereby add a sense of scale to the scene beyond. With the waves, great low-lying [...]

Beaver Moon rising over Marblehead Harbor

I almost forgot about the full Beaver moon rising this weekend. I only realized it thanks to some timely Facebook posts by others and then quickly began scouting locations from which to capture the rise. The angles the the full moon takes seem to get tougher as we get into the Winter months and I ended up deciding to shoot from the Boston Yacht Club on this particular day. Though the moon was going to be full on Sunday, Nov 17, the conditions that night didn't seem to allow for a shot so I headed out on Saturday at 3:30pm [...]

A View of Boston from Marblehead Neck

This view really never gets old. Though I have photographed it previously under different conditions (most recently with turquoise waters - LINK), I couldn't help but pull over on Ocean Avenue on Marblehead Neck when the clouds began to reflect the light of sunset on this mid-August night. The small beach offered just enough of a foreground element to ground the scene and instruct the viewer that this view of Boston was from Marblehead Neck.

Clamming on Devereux Beach at Sunset

On November 3rd, I had decided to try to capture one of the incredible strings of sunsets that had been forming (and that I had been missing for various reasons). I followed the clouds to Devereux Beach and managed to capture a nice scene of Marblehead Neck with fall colors on the trees. If you missed it, click here [LINK]. After capturing that image, I turned and noted someone in the waters off Devereux Beach. It took me a minute to see that he was busy clamming in the Atlantic Ocean and only a few more minutes to realize how [...]

Marblehead Harbor Filled with Boats at Sunset

Is there a better site than Marblehead Harbor filled with boats? While the harbor can be beautiful in the Winter as well, there really isn't any comparison to the view of boats taking up every last mooring. And if you happen to catch a nice Summer sunset, then that scene is just about perfect. This image was taken in mid-August from Marblehead Neck looking back toward the harbor. The temperature had been a very comfortable 72 degrees with light winds and I actually had to time this shot just right for the brief gusts that would bring the American flag [...]

November Sunset over the Causeway

We had some incredible sunsets to mark the beginning of November. Friday's was breathtaking but I had to resign myself to enjoy it from my car as I made it home too late to get the camera and still capture those amazing colors. Saturday was a good show in its own right but we had plans that trumped any hope of getting out to shoot...again. On Sunday night, I decided to go out no matter what. With the end of Daylight Savings Time, that meant leaving the house at 4:15pm and hoping that the plentiful clouds that had filled the [...]

Sunset Lights up the Boats in Marblehead Harbor

This past August featured some incredible sunsets that formed over Marblehead Harbor. I tried to capture as many as I could and was amazed at how much the colors would vary from day to day. This particular sunset took place on August 19th. I decided to shoot from the Pleon launch but, at the last minute, walked down to the float on the water to get a different vantage point. From this view at water level, the boats in Marblehead harbor took on a larger part of the composition and the light reflected deeper into the frame. I made sure [...]

Sunset Reflects in the Waters of the Forest River

I mentioned earlier today that I managed to capture the dawn and sunset on Tuesday, October 15th and thought it would be fitting to share both in a single day. As 5:30 rolled around, I stepped out, looked up at the sky and saw an incredible texture of clouds alternative with blue skies. This was a far cry from the dense cloud cover we had for much of the day. I decided to head out to Lafayette street where I had captured the dawn less than 12 hours earlier (the days really are getting shorter...) and set up for the [...]

Calm Waters in Marblehead Harbor

This seemed like a good photo to finish off the week and get the long weekend off to a nice start. I shared two images from this vantage point already - the Harvest Moon and the 116 Megapixel panorama that immediately preceded it. While I was at this unique spot overlooking the perfectly calm waters in Marblehead Harbor, I couldn't help by shoot all the compositions that came to mind as the sun set and the pink colors of sunset reflected off the water. I don't often shoot verticals - especially when the horizontal offers so much more to take [...]

Summer Swim Under the Light of the Moon

As the days get cooler, I can't let go of these Summer images. This particular one came from mid-July when I was fortunate to capture great wispy clouds reflecting the pink light of sunset over Devereux Beach. The ocean was warm enough at this point for people to be captured in silhouette swimming in the waters. Can't really beat the feeling of a warm Summer night spent at Devereux Beach.
