Up Playing Xbox All Night to Photograph Dawn with Stephen
by Administrator
I decided a few days ago I was going to go to some beach to take pictures at sunrise… and since I don’t drive I asked Stephen if he would also like to go photograph a pretty sunrise. I’m always guaranteed a perfect sunrise if I’m awake so it’s always worth the effort. We decided to go to Nahant because it’s close and my friend Piers has a house there. We had to leave wayyy before dawn though and the car was a little frosted.
My link for this post is a pretty sky over at MUTE cause I’m in a pretty sky mood.
I used my off camera flash to light these up. This shot is 30 sec at f8 with 5 flashes at 1/8th I’m pretty sure:
Also used a bunch of flashes in this 30 second exposure too:
These old military sites are awesome.
Right after I took this shot, I managed to snap the head of my tripod… whoops.
Climbing down was pretty slippery and almost took out my camera a few times. I did manage to take out my wireless flash trigger… whoops that is somewhere on these rocks…
The lazy sun finally rising:
My self portrait for the morning:
Stephen’s 4×5″10 minute polaroid exposure of the sunrise:
This is where my friend Piers has a house. The tower is amazing. It was originally created to spot Japanese U-Boats and is now fully equipped with a darkroom and a pinball machine. The house is beautiful with gigantic east-facing windows and a great open floor plan on the first floor.

Great images. Thanks for including the flash information. I really like the frost covered leaves and the graffiti images.
Great series there, very good shots of that military site.
Thanks Jesse and Marc! The military site was very interesting! Especially because Stephen has been working on prints of old military sites for awhile.
