Scituate Lighthouse: The Power of Revisiting

“Every time we revisit a place, it is different because we are different.” – Eliot Porter A few days ago, I returned to Scituate Lighthouse for a sunrise shoot. As I reviewed my shots later, I realized the position of the rising sun at this time of year offers a perfect opportunity to align it…
Morning Grid

I captured this shot to highlight the symmetry of power lines cutting through the morning mist above a vibrant green field. For some reason, this spot in Norwell always catches my eye whenever I drive by.

Farm life

Two horses graze near a barn on a farm in Pembroke, Massachusetts. I’ve passed by here frequently, hoping to capture the scene but never able to safely pull over—until now.
Ready for Launch

A boat sits at the marina dock in Hull, Massachusetts, ready for launch into the ocean. I took three photos in bracket mode, which I later merged into an HDR in Lightroom. This helped capture the soft hues that filled the sky without losing detail in the shadows or highlights.
Sunset Drive-In

While enjoying the sunset over Hull Gut at Pemberton Point in Hull, this scene brought to mind the nostalgic feel of a vintage drive-in theater.
