If you have traveled from Hull through Cohasset or simply live on the South Shore, chances are you have seen this house. It sits on a small island named Black Rock, its red shutters standing out against the rugged coastline, a familiar sight to boaters and beachgoers alike. According to local legend, the island became…

Last Light Over Jacobs Pond
A long exposure of Jacobs Pond in Norwell, Massachusetts, taken during the last light of the day. Even with daylight fading quickly, I used my Lee Little Stopper to extend the exposure and smooth the water’s surface for a serene effect.

Echoes of Russo Marine
After a holiday dinner at Venezia, I wandered to the familiar waterfront area. Next door stood the former Russo Marine site, a place I’d briefly visited before.

Sunrise at Manomet Point
Sunrise at Manomet Point in Plymouth, MA. I’ve visited this location in the past but didn’t get a chance to explore the area below. A “No Trespassing” sign had been posted nearby.

Plymouth Jetty Sunrise

The starburst effect on the pier lights in Hull, Massachusetts reminded me of stars in the night sky. In photography, this effect happens when small, bright light sources, like streetlights or the sun, radiate sharp, pointed rays. You can achieve this by using a small aperture (a high f-stop number like f/16 or f/22). In…
