South End Rooftops & Sheafe Warehouse

More shots from the South End at sunset. I love the way the light is grazing rooftops and the newly renovated steeple of the South Ward Meetinghouse aka The Children’s Museum.  As I’ve mentioned before, the Sheafe Warehouse is one of those really old structures that I’ve always loved, and that I picture located in town a couple hundred years ago when it was still a young structure.  Nothing too exciting about these shots, just beautiful old architecture and some nice afternoon light.

LaCava’s Wharf


In the late afternoon I decided to visit the usual spots before trying to inspire myself to shoot in some less traveled areas. On my way out of town, I decided to check out the late afternoon light in the South End at Prescott Park. On the Peirce Island Road Bridge I saw the sun glinting directly in my direction, which can make for some terrible photos – but being the stubborn person I am, decided to try anyway to see what I could come up with. The shot above is the end result, which I happen to like because of the sun streaks and the muted colors – yet the character of the neighborhood still stands out.

Sunset in Rye

It was beautiful on the seacoast this weekend, reaching almost 50 degrees on Saturday.  I had a good time shooting, and worked on my first portrait assignment…more to follow on that later this week.  I made sure to visit a few spots throughout the weekend, as I’ll be sending the camera in for repair this week and will be without for a few days.  I’ll be featuring shots from this weekend, and some of the greatest hits from the past year. Today, I hope you enjoy the beautiful sunset from Sunday night, taken along the Rye coastline (in very windy, cold air!).

The Wentworth Marina

The Wentworth Marina seemed a bit quiet on this afternoon.  After driving around during the fleeting daylight (and visiting the Wentworth-Coolidge Mansion), I decided to park and have a quick run up the Route 1B bridge to try and catch some of the gorgeous sunlight on the boats in the Wentworth Marina.  This is the first shot I’ve posted of the marina – which is next door to the luxurious Wentworth by the Sea resort. Below I thought I’d share a fresh take on the Wentworth By The Sea (as seen in the reflection on my back window/trunk). The shot below is almost entirely unprocessed, the light was just that beautiful.

Great Island Common & Whaleback Light

Great Island Common in New Castle, NH is a great destination – you can catch all the colors of a sunset on the horizon over the Atlantic Ocean, you can see Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouse – and you can even see Whaleback Light (shown below) out in the harbor. I was happy I’d made the drive this evening despite the frigid air and strong winds…always nice to find some natural beauty here on the seacoast.
