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…
Plymouth Jetty Sunrise
A long exposure of the Plymouth Jetty at sunrise. This location is one of my favorite places to visit, as Plymouth’s sunrises are consistently spectacular. On another visit, I captured the vibrant scene below, where the sky seemed to ignite in fiery colors. Such dramatic sunrises are rare, as cloudy mornings often deter people from…

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.
By the Pier
Look closely, and you’ll spot a man sitting on the rocks near the pier, enjoying the sunset in Hull, Massachusetts.

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…
Brant Rock Sunrise
Brant Rock is a spectacular place to watch the sunrise, offering panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean. Located in Marshfield, Massachusetts, it is part of a historic coastal area originally inhabited by Native Americans, including members of the Wampanoag tribe, part of the Algonquian peoples. For this outing, I originally started with some long exposures.…

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.
Sagamore Bridge Sunrise
Catching a sunrise at the Sagamore Bridge had been on my list for quite some time. I arrived early, giving me plenty of time to scout for a good spot. After parking at the Sagamore Recreation Area, I walked west for about ten minutes and found a spot near the water’s edge. A short while…
