I'm Marty Luster, a retired attorney and politician. In 2010 my wife, mother-in-law, dog and I relocated from Central NY to Gloucester. I hope my photographs and poetry(?) reflect my love for this place and her people.

Good Morning Gloucester 
I have tried to describe to people who have never been lucky enough to have visited Gloucester, the incredible Technicolor shades of Gloucester’s water and sky. I have often used the word ‘neon’. This is an excellent example of what I have tried to describe. Gorgeous! Thank you for sharing!

Makes me think of the quarry at Halibut point? Beautiful shot! Definitely brings a bright reminder for a gloomy day.

Hi Marty, is this photo HDR?

No, just a very slight color boost. Taken off Long Wharf on Jones Creek.

Here’s the original,straight from the camera. In truth, the posted copy is closer to what I saw than the original.

Thx Marty — I like the blue in your original . . . yet your comment is fascinating—- that the photo with the ‘boost’ appears more accurate to what you witnessed. I think each of us sees colors a little differently. At any rate you have a gift for capturing the moment — and I appreciate your sharing your work.

There’s something about each of them I like. The original has earthy tones, and not too much blue. The enhanced version has more detail in the lighter water areas. The red spot there is a bit distracting, but I’ll go with Marty’s pick, because he was there.
