The Supermoon Sets over Abbot Hall

First, I want to thank everyone for the incredible response to last week's post. There are two more shots from the rise of the supermoon over Marblehead neck and the harbor posted below. Just as I had planned out the location for the rise of the supermoon, I also charted its descent. Turns out it would fall right next to Abbot hall the next morning. I got up early and made my way to Chandler Hovey park setting up at its outermost point. I watched the moon fall as the sun rose and the two met in perfect concert just [...]

The Skyline at Sunset

My first panorama shot posted to Wednesdays in Marblehead. Hope this will project well on the page (it really needs to be seen big). I was treated to this fantastic sunset on January 9th while shooting at Chandler Hovey park. At this point in the Winter, I think I'm done with photos of snow (at least the dirty, half-melted stuff on the ground now). I'll be reaching into the archives for this and next week but I have a great series planned soon... Sorry for the lack of posts last week - we left town in search of warm weather [...]

Planet Marblehead

A warm shot for this week amidst the too-snowy Winter. This one was taken in August aboard our old neighbor's sailboat and was a pretty standard shot of the lighthouse until I had the idea to turn it in on itself and create a little planet. The sailboats and lighthouse lined up perfectly and the sky cooperated nicely for this effect. It's a unique shot and hopefully brings a bit of warm memories to this cold, wet day.

Snow at the Fort

I had a chance to walk around town this morning and was treated to some great light as I got to Fort Sewall. I've been up here countless times but never stopped to read this sign. Figured it would serve well as the centerpiece of this photo overlooking Marblehead harbor.

Sunrise Along the Coast

Today's entry comes from the border between Marblehead and Salem. I shot a series of photos around town at sunrise and ended up here at the perfect point in the tide cycle. Was treated to calm waters which made for a calm, serene composition. Technical: Canon 50D and EF-S 10-22mm lens. 6 exposure bracket.

Regatta at Redd’s Pond

Every weekend from March through November, the Marblehead Model Yacht Club sails their boats on Redd's pond. The boats are incredible scale reproductions. I was lucky enough to visit Redd's with my son during one of their regattas and captured this shot near the end of the race as the boat came to 'shore'. The fall colors were an added bonus. Techical: Canon 50D and EF-S 17-55 lens. Single exposure.

Little Harbor

Haven't had a chance to post this week. Have been working on some shots of Ware and Oliver ponds but they aren't quite ready yet. So I figured I would go to a shot from the week prior when I drove by little harbor on the way to Waterside Cemetery in hopes of finding some foliage. I had to stop when I saw this scene before me. From the reeds near shore to the stone wall, the island and anchored boats, this is a great snapshot of the beauty of our town. Technical: Canon 50D and EF-S 17-55mm 2.8 lens. 6 exposure [...]

Still Morning at Black Joe’s Pond

Continuing the theme for the week, here is Black Joe's pond on an early morning shoot. I drove by this spot a few months ago and saw the boat on shore which immediately made me add this to my 'must shoot' list in town. Headed here after the Redd's pond sunrise shot and was treated to a great scene (including a family of ducks in the distance). Technical: Canon 50D and EF-S 17-55/2.8 lens. 6 Bracket exposure.

Sunburst at Redd’s Pond

Got up early on Columbus Day in anticipation of another drive up to VT or NH to catch some foliage. I had driven up to both in the past week and had been disappointed in the leaves this year (most are already on the ground). Instead, I decided to head out to our local ponds. First stop was Redds and the sun was climbing at just the right angle in the sky for a sunburst/sun star peeking through the leaves. Just a hint of foliage to enjoy as well. I was too excited to wait til Wednesday to post this [...]

Abbot and the Boats

Not much time left to shoot a full harbor with Abbot Hall in the background. Took advantage of a morning shoot on the Neck to get this shot in. Technical: Canon 50D and EF-S 17-55mm lens. Three exposure bracket.
