Coming Ashore in the Fog – Waves at Castle Rock

Years ago, I was thrilled to be interviewed by the Marblehead Reporter about my photography and was pleasantly surprised at the headline calling me a Fog-tographer. I had expressed my love of foggy conditions and, with the quality of light in this image, it really is no wonder that many of my favorite images were captured in the fog. This is another image from the morning of February 25th and was taken near the end of my journey from Little Harbor to Castle Rock. The fog was picture perfect at this point and created a painterly light that washed over [...]

Ocean Meets the Barnacle

As a Nor'Easter pounds the coast, I am reminded of this image captured in March 2013 during another storm that hit Marblehead. I ventured out to Lovis Cove at high tide hoping to capture the results from when the ocean meets the Barnacle. Sure enough, waves crashed against the building sending the surf high up in the air. I'll be heading out at high tide this morning to see if I can capture new images of the angry ocean.

Churning Waves and the Lifeguard Chair

As a storm makes its way up the East coast, I'm reminded of this view of churning waves and the lifeguard chair from early September. The storm that threatened us then led only to some incredible waves and awesome surfing scenes amidst picture perfect weather. Here's hoping that Florida receives nothing more than a glancing blow and that we see some more wave action headed our way.

Playing Chicken with Mother Nature

Off Duty at Devereux Beach

From September 5th and my third trip to Devereux Beach to capture images of incredible waves. A lifeguard chair stands empty as huges waves come ashore meaning guards are off duty at Devereux Beach. *Photos will continue but descriptions may be sparse until Sept 28 as I am studying for the Allergy and Immunology Board exam which we need to take every 10 years

Watching the Waves Roll In

By the time all was said and done on Labor Day, I had visited Devereux Beach three separate times and captured wildly different images with each visit. On this occasion, I had stopped in near high tide before heading to Castle Rock and found that most of the surfers had departed. Instead of shooting people in the water, I tried to find interesting compositions of people watching the waves roll in to shore. As I ducked under the causeway to shoot waves crashing against the rocks, I looked up and saw feet dangling overhead. I quickly recomposed this shot to [...]

Storm in the Harbor

After capturing images of surfers at Devereux Beach and then crossing over the causeway to shoot crashing waves at Crocker Park, I circled around Marblehead Neck to the secret beach on Cove Lane to view the storm in the harbor. I noted a lone sailboat fighting against the wind and waves and then turned toward the main part of the harbor to find boats being lifted up on whitecaps as their ropes pulled taut against moorings. This shot captured one boat being lifted in the air at the crest of a small wave as the Old North Church and houses [...]

Watching the Storm at Castle Rock

With every storm, I try to make it out to Castle Rock near high tide to watch the incredible power of Mother Nature as waves crash into the shoreline and explode in plumes of white. With a perfect vantage point on the rock and views North and South, there really is no better place in all of Massachusetts for watching a storm roll in than Castle Rock in Marblehead. Here are three images captured at high tide as Hermine churned offshore. If you haven't seen the video yet, you can experience the storm by clicking below. [...]

Summer Days at Castle Rock

With the gray, raw day that just passed, I was looking for a bright Summer view of Marblehead and found this image from mid-September. I had received an ultra-wide angle on loan from Canon and was busy putting it through its paces when I decided to try a few compositions at Castle Rock. The lens was proving to be quite challenging in that every part of the frame needed to be used to produce a solid final image. For this shot, I set up the camera on a tripod very close to the ocean's edge and waited for the moment [...]

Crashing Surf at Castle Rock

On Wednesday, March 2nd, a brief but strong rainstorm swept through Marblehead. As it left, the sky began to clear and I noted some interesting low clouds skirting above the horizon. Though I had been fighting a cold for a few days, I decided I had to get out of the house and see if I could find any nice compositions with the rapidly changing light. As tends to be the case, I couldn't stop at just one spot and so, between 11am and 12:15pm, I shot at Fountain Park, various spots along Little Harbor and Doliber Cove, before finishing [...]
