Cape Ann Images: Fog vs Fireworks and the Fog Wins!

Why I created this......

Born and raised in Gloucester, Ma fishing gets in your blood. Surrounded by the sea, kids here have a boat almost as much as kids elsewhere have bicycles! As I grew older my fishing ambitions gave way to what's around me. Although I still "drop a line" every so often, my attention wanders to the majesty of the natural light that make this place so special. Never is each day the same. The subjects may be the same but the light from the sea & sky will morph the subject into a form of art. For that reason artists have been drawn to these shores for several hundred years, they followed the light painting and sketching these surroundings. What artists capture with paint on canvas, I attempt to capture with a click.....if I'm lucky!

I guess that's a sort of Fish'n!

Fog vs Fireworks and the Fog Wins!

One of my favorites to shoot are fireworks. This year the 400th anniversary of the founding of Gloucester the fireworks were scheduled the 3rd after the parade. But a forecast of rain that night (which never happened) they were rescheduled to the 8th. I knew from the visibility my usual spot by the Fishermen's Memorial I would have to move closer to their launching spot. I waited by the Fishermen's Wife's statue and all I could see was the launch and that's it!

Concert in the fog!
