A simple and moody shot of the famed Tugboats and The Old Ferry Landing as seen from The River House’s deck. I’m eagerly anticipating the warm weather’s return so that I can eat food outside and enjoy this gorgeous waterfront spot.

Market Square at Sunset
This is probably one of the last few evenings where the traffic (pedestrian and vehicular) will be nearly nonexistent in Market Square at 6:45 in the evening. I love how the light peeks over the tops of the buildings along Congress Street to mark the North Church clocktower and the buildings on the opposite side of the street.

Looking Up at The North Church
The North Church is one of the most photographed landmarks in Portsmouth. It’s easy to see why, it’s beautiful, striking, easily identifiable (from all of Portsmouth), it captures light in a hundred different ways depending on the time of day, cloud cover, etc. It’s been a fun challenge of mine to shoot it in as many different interesting ways as possible. It’s so tall, that every time I walk nearby I find myself magnetized to looking up. This shot is no exception, and I went with a dramatic black & white processing to give it a distinct feel.

The Gazebo | Calabash Cove St. Lucia
Calabash Cove is a small resort near the northernmost point of Saint Lucia. It’s a beautiful property that hugs the coastline, full of natural lush greenery and plantings that compliment the facility and the private cottages that dot the coastline. One of the features of the property is this lovely little gazebo that overlooks the shoreline and has an unbelievable vantage point towards the west and sunsets every night. I loved the flowers and the colors throughout the property, and the rich blue sky and amazing clouds that always seemed to hang around. Just at the left corner of the gazebo, a faint hit of a rainbow can be seen as a result from the rainstorm out on the horizon.

Cloudscape in New Castle
This evening was one of those nights where you are thankful that you witness such incredible natural beauty. This ridiculous cloudscape was moving around the seacoast, with some intense late afternoon light filtering through and making landscapes at every corner into capture-worthy visions. Unfortunately, I didn’t have my camera handy for most of them – but managed to capture this scene from the Wentworth Marina in New Castle.

Badger’s Island
Badger’s Island is a little slice of Maine that sits in the middle of the Piscataqua River and is connected to Kittery to the north and Portsmouth to the south by the Memorial Bridge. This little gem of a photo was taken with a medium format lens designed for use on the Hasselblad 500 series camera and is manufactured by Carl Zeiss. I’ve learned to love this 100mm piece of glass…which seems to bring a nostalgic look and a unique texture to images taken on my Canon 5d Mark II. I look forward to getting back out in warmer weather and taking the older lenses for more test drives.

A Perfect Summer Sunset
I think I’ll let this one speak for itself. After grabbing some dinner at Poco’s on a warm summer evening, I decided to sneak out as the check was coming to see what the sky was doing. It had hints of greatness, but I couldn’t see it because of the canopy…when I got outside, this was a pleasant surprise. Shot from the landing above Harpoon Willy’s on Bow Street.
Believe it or not, this is a single exposure…without much additional editing aside from adding some light into the foreground so you can make out the buildings and the tugboats.
