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. On this visit, I noticed the sign was gone. The path leading down looked significantly improved, possibly explaining the reason for the sign’s…
Longfellow Bridge at Night
The iconic Longfellow Bridge, all lit up at night. Fun fact: This bridge, often called the “Salt and Pepper Bridge” because of its distinctive tower shapes. Completed in 1906, it connects Boston and Cambridge and offers amazing views of the Charles River and city skyline. A print of this photo is available for purchase –…
Pier Stars
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…
USCG Station Point Allerton
The USCG Station at Point Allerton in Hull, MA, is illuminated during the blue hour. I used a long exposure to create the silky water effect. Since the sun had already set, I didn’t need an ND filter to slow the shutter.
Comet Tsuchinshan–ATLAS
After my first failed attempt last week, I finally managed to spot and photograph Comet Tsuchinshan–ATLAS (C/2023 A3) in the night sky. At first, I wasn’t sure where the best location would be, but I eventually chose Duxbury Beach. The idea was to capture the historic Powder Point Bridge in the foreground, adding some interest…

Northern Lights Watch
A couple of cars parked at Duxbury Beach in an attempt to watch the Northern Lights. I took this photo while trying to see them this past Friday since I had missed them the previous night. Unfortunately, the skies remained empty.
Gunrock Beach
A long exposure of Gunrock Beach in Hull, Massachusetts.
Blurred Tides at Ocean Bluff
Blurred tides at Ocean Bluff created by a long exposure in Marshfield, Massachusetts. The sun set behind me, casting soft hues across the sky. Since it wasn’t completely dark, I could use a slower shutter speed to blur the waves as the tide receded. This moment was the perfect opportunity to use my Lee Little…
Sunrise at Scituate Lighthouse
Sunrise at Scituate Lighthouse never gets old. With the recent beautiful weather and the fact that I haven’t been on a sunrise mission for a while, I decided to go this morning. There’s something truly special about sunrise photography. The calmness of the early hours and the changing colors create a perfect backdrop for capturing…
