The Mighty Sea and the Rocky Shore

Today's image comes from December 21, 2012 and a trip to Castle Rock at the tail end of a storm. I can't recall the specifics of this storm but I still remember the power of the waves thrown towards the rocky shore of Marblehead Neck by the mighty sea. In this frame you can see the remnants of the last wave cascading down the large granite formations while another wave crests and approaches the shore. Castle Rock might be my favorite spot for storm watching and if a storm happens to hit peak power and high tide around sunset, so [...]

A Study in Waves at Castle Rock

The running theme this week may well be the 'way back machine' as this image also comes from 2012 - May 16 to be precise. I had just purchased the Canon 5D mk III full frame camera to replace my aging Canon 50D and was out on a foggy day putting the new gear through its paces. I found myself at Castle Rock watching as wave after wave crashed onto the rocky shore. I tried to time this exposure to capture the wave at its peak formation before it began to curl into itself and slam into the rocks. Three [...]

Crashing Waves and Flying Birds at Castle Rock

It's been a while since I've shared an image of Castle Rock and this deceptively warm one seemed a great choice leading into a promised warm up for the rest of the week. In fact, this image was captured on December 21, 2012 just before sunset but the cold temperatures were offset by the warm glow of light that surrounded the scene of crashing waves. I was fortunate in this frame to catch a number of birds flying around the water including one perfectly backlit by the reflection of evening light against a wave in the distance.

A Picture Perfect Sunset

On Saturday evening, I picked up me son from a playdate and noted the cloud cover as we drove home. The day had brought with it a break from the dull gray skies that had covered Marblehead for what seemed like weeks and the clouds now seemed to be breaking up in time for sunset. As we approached the house, I told him we were going to take a quick detour to Devereux Beach to see if I was right about the coming sunset. I grabbed the camera bag and tripod, he grabbed a toy assault rifle and we were [...]

Waves Coming Ashore at Mooring Road

I developed a bit of an obsession with the pier at Mooring Road in 2011. I had first discovered the pier in April 2011 and this image is one of the first I captured on that day. I would return in the early Winter to explore the pier jutting out from the road in one of my favorite long exposure images later that year. As we approach three years since capturing this images of waves coming ashore as seen from the pier at Mooring Road, I thought it was a great opportunity to finally share the shot. Click below for all [...]

New Years Starts with a Storm

Just three days into 2014 and Marblehead got walloped with almost two feet of snow to go along with truly arctic conditions. Once the snow died down on Friday, I decided to head out and try to capture the storm during the noon high tide. I started off on Ocean Avenue intending to shoot the causeway up close but found 12" of ocean water in the middle of the street and no way to safely cross it. I decided to go with plan B which was climbing to the rocks at Goldthwait beach. While the walk wasn't terrible (though I'm [...]

Snow in Marblehead – Lobster Traps at Sunset

One last image of snow for this week and one more from the Blizzard of 2013 (aka Nemo). When all was said and done, Nemo had left us with over 2 feet of snow to dig out of. However, one of the small rewards of these massive storms is that you are almost guaranteed a beautiful sunset when they finally depart. Such was the case with this nor'easter and I headed across the causeway and onto Ocean Avenue to capture this view of incredible color as the storm ended. As you can see from the waves in the Atlantic and [...]

The Ocean Beckons at Devereux Beach

This image comes from the storm that came to shore on March 7th and didn't leave us until the 9th. The Nor'Easter had incredible power and displayed it with waves that easily crashed over the causeway. I went out as much as I could and tried to capture the incredible scenes of nature's power. By March 9th, the storm had finally pushed away from shore but its tail end continue to send wave after wave crashing to shore. I had hoped to make my way to Devereux beach to capture the waves but Ocean Avenue had been closed due to the dangers of crossing [...]

Crashing Waves at Greystone Beach

You know things are bad when posting an image of crashing waves after a long and brutal storm actually cheers me up and helps me forget about the miserable cold outside with snow still on the ground. This particular image was taken on Saturday, March 9th after that long storm finally moved off but seemed to still be churning up a significant amount of wave action in its wake. I had already been to Preston Beach for a solid hour shooting the waves as they hit the wall when I decided to drive over to Greystone Beach. The waves were [...]

Day 2 – The Old House and The Sea

By Thursday, March 7th, the storm was really starting to show off its power. I again headed out at high tide hoping to capture some of the ocean's strength on camera. I previously shared an image taken at Devereux Beach of a wave cresting over the causeway (LINK if you missed it). After getting that shot, I headed over to Lovis Cove planning to shoot The Barnacle getting hit by waves. I have captured some amazing waves hitting the Barnacle previously and was equally impressed by the ocean's power on this day. However, after getting those images (I'll share them [...]
