The Ocean Breathes – Castle Rock

I added a new tool to my camera bag this week and had a great time taking it out for an inaugural shoot. This was a return to Castle Rock on the Marblehead Neck. With the 10-stop neutral density filter, I was able to take this 30 second exposure and turn the ocean waves into a soft mist. It's a great feeling to produce an image that cannot be seen 'in the moment' but can be appreciated for showing a spot in a new light. Technical: Canon 50D and EF-S 17-55mm lens with 10-stop ND filter. Single exposure.

Purple Dawn

Awoke Saturday at 5:30 with the goal of shooting the sunrise from the Neck and, with any luck, the setting Harvest Moon over Abbot hall. Dawn turned out to be very nice as was the brilliant sunrise at Castle Rock. Have a number of keepers from the morning and will post them each day this week. The moon, unfortunately, disappeared into morning clouds. For a few hours though, I had the entirety of Chandler Hovey park to myself...it made for a great start to the day. Technical: Canon 50D and EF-S 10-22 with B+W 10-stop ND filter. Four minute exposure.

Sailing Under the Harvest Moon

The harvest moon coincided with the first day of Fall this year. I made my way to Fort Sewall hoping to catch the moon as it first came up over the horizon but low lying clouds interfered with the best laid plans. Instead I was treated to the last Wednesday night race and the moon was good enough to come out of hiding for this shot. Technical: Canon 50D and EF 70-200 f/4 IS. Single exposure.

Sun Rays over Fort Sewall

Driving home from work last week, I noticed an incredible blue sky developing to the east and replacing the gray that had been present for days. Grabbed my gear and headed straight to Front Street and then Fort Sewall. The sun was placed perfectly to get these great rays coming through the tree and helping illuminate Marblehead Harbor. This post also marks the first on my new Facebook page - Wednesdays in MHD. Please 'like' the page to automatically receive future updates. Technical: Canon 50D and Canon EF-S 10-22 lens. 6 exposure bracket HDR

First Light – Castle Rock

Castle Rock can be found on the Marblehead Neck and includes a nice rock to climb as well as a small beach that only appears at low tide. It is also one of the first places to receive the sun's rays every morning. Caught this sunrise on a particularly warm and clear morning. Technical: Canon 50D and EF-S 10-22. 6 bracket exposure.

The Marshland Sunrise

This is one of three entrances into the town of Marblehead. I featured another in an earlier post and thought it fitting to follow up with this view. This small bit of marsh land separates Salem from our town. It is especially beautiful in the Summer as the grass reaches its peak and I made a note to try for a sunrise shot here. This morning worked out well with clear sky and very calm conditions. Technical: Canon 50D and EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS. 6 bracket HDR by 1EV brackets.
