Plymouth Rock Portico
The Plymouth Rock Portico in Plymouth, Massachusetts. To capture this perspective, I climbed the stairs to Carver Street, where the vantage point is spectacular. I took this photo shortly before sunrise in late fall, which helped ensure the scene was free of people. The Plymouth Rock Portico is a shelter for Plymouth Rock, the legendary…
Sunset at Granite Links
Sunset at Granite Links in Quincy, Massachusetts. I returned to this spot after my first attempt to capture the Boston skyline didn’t quite work out. If you’re not familiar, it’s one of the best places to enjoy a sunset, with stunning views of both the Boston skyline and the Blue Hills Reservation.
Sunrise at the Mayflower II
The Mayflower II docked at State Pier in Plymouth, Massachusetts, looked stunning in the sunrise. As a lesser-known fact, the Mayflower II is a full-scale replica of the original Mayflower that brought the Pilgrims to America in 1620. Built in 1957 in Devon, England, it sailed across the Atlantic to Massachusetts, following a similar route…

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…
End of Day
The commercial fishing boat, Gabriella Rose, returns to the dock at the end of the day in Scituate Harbor, Massachusetts.
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…
