Portsmouth At Night

Portsmouth’s three bridges, the Piscataqua River Bridge, the Middle Bridge, and the Memorial Bridge, connect the states of New Hampshire and Maine.  I’m used to featuring these bridges individually, as I’m usually drawn to their architecture and setting – but not usually how they all fit together in the bigger picture.

This shot was taken at night, creating some intrigue with all the lighting along the waterfront and at Harbour Place, with some additional light from the cars traveling across the bridges and some smoke above the industrial components along the waterfront.  This scene will look different soon, as the Kittery span of the Memorial Bridge is now in place.

Eastern Star | Commercial Fishing Fleet

Today’s post features a profile of a member of Portsmouth’s commercial fishing fleet, Eastern Star.  Docked after a snowstorm, the ship looks ready to head out for a day’s catch amidst a perfect New England scene.

Bee is for Broke | Bumble Bee | Street AKA Museum

This installation by Bumble Bee appeared on the Getty on Islington Street.  Bumble Bee also did the installation next to one of my new favorite spots in town, Kaffee Vonsolln…which will be featured soon.  I’m having such a blast running around town and shooting these bursts of interestingness showing up around town.  Had a blast at the opening for the exhibit at the Portsmouth Museum of Art…and love the whole idea of collaboration.

Below is one of Bumble Bee’s pieces in the museum exhibit.

The Sagamore on Sagamore Creek

Saturday morning I was venturing around town with my camera and armed with the Hasselblad Zeiss glass.  It is a 100mm lens…which means that the focal plane of the lens is much further than what I’m used to.  I typically shoot in the 24mm range and love to shoot wider (meaning lower) whenever I rent a lens.  That’s what helps me get so much information and so much landscape goodness in my typical scenes.  When Steph and I ventured out running/cycling, I decided to stick with one lens – and brought the 100mm so I forced myself out of my comfort zone in an effort to sharpen my skills.  I’m also currently experiencing some serious computer heartburn, so I’m not able to survey the majority of my shots – but I was happy to come away with this quintessential New England seacoast scene.

This boat, “Sagamore” is moored on Sagamore Creek….an inlet stream from the Piscataqua River inland from Portsmouth Harbor.  Makes me want to hop on the boat and head out into the open ocean.

The Portsmouth Skyline

Today’s post features a view of the Moran Towing tugboats and a portion of The Decks from a different vantage point.  This is the first time I’ve posted anything shot from the Middle Bridge (the Sarah Long Bridge) in Kittery, Maine.  Visible from the skyline is the 100 Club, the steeple of the North Church, the rowhouses of Market Street, and many other familiar landmarks.

This spot is truly fantastic, and I imagine there will be plenty more stops during various sunsets with some beautiful results.

The Wentworth By The Sea | New Castle, NH

Today features another view of the Wentworth By The Sea.  Shot in the Fall of 2009, it features pumpkins and some fall decor…but the well manicured grounds still boast green grass and vibrant plant life.  I’m looking forward to seeing the return of the lush grass with the return of spring.

I tried something new with this shot and love how the beautifully restored building seems to pop off of the muted sky.  Below is a more dramatic and surreal shot from the same time of year…an interesting contrast to the more natural look above.
