Sunrise from Chapin’s Gully

Posted on by paultmorrison

This morning there was a pretty good sundog sun pillar preceding sunrise which split the Rockport Breakwater.

Click the photo for two more shots and larger photos. This shot was taken while standing in front of Chapin’s Rock which is in Chapin’s Gully. I wondered who Chapin was so I looked him up. The Reverend Edwin Hubble Chapin had a cottage on Andrews Point (still there) and “a few rods” away, according to his biography was a gully that the preacher swam in most every afternoon. He died in his Pigeon Cove cottage in 1880 but he was a pretty big deal so back to Brooklyn to his last church for the funeral he went. PT Barnum was a pal and went to the funeral as well as “more preachers than have ever attended one funeral.” A Universalist, he preached in Rockport many times to a packed house.

Know how tough it is to get the detail in those clouds with the sun bearing down the barrel of your lens?  Not many do it better than Brian.

Homey watches the sunrise

Seagulls are lucky – they can pick great vantage points to watch the sunrise.  Homey picked out a tall chimney with a great view.

Hi Joey,

The Cape Ann sunrises lately have been fantastic to say the least…here is one from this morning as the sun just up off the horizon behind the twins at Thatcher.

Thanksgiving Sunrise

Posted on by paultmorrison

Sunrise over the Rockport breakwater this morning. The one time I wish  I had a video camera. The sunbeam started over on the  left then tracked like an enormous searchlight across the Dry Salvages before lighting up the Straitsmouth Lighthouse.

Click on the photo to go to a G+ album with the Rubber Duck contemplating a wave before overeating on Thanksgiving and another wave off Andrews Point. (Clicking into the  album also gets you the bigger photos.)

Sunrise Yesterday

Posted on by paultmorrison

Today’s sunrise was even prettier but I needed to get a full smoker of bluefish so I was busy catching the last one today. Possible secret ingredient to my deviled eggs.

Just moments after the photo was taken I was wrestling a bluefish amongst the barnicles. Bag Balm is a lovely ointment.

Fun Fact: Halifax, Nova Scotia is directly lined up with sunrise today.

Rockport Bonfire: Before and After

Posted on by paultmorrison

Rubber Duck took her kids to the bonfire the day before:

And  Les Bartlett posted this unbelievable next morning shot on his website:Be sure to click through the photo to go to Les’s “Follow The Gleam” website and see the larger slideshow of the morning after the bonfire as well as his amazing series on granite and quarries. In the embers slideshow, third photo in, may be the elusive green flash. The heat from a bonfire might assist the presence of a green flash.

Try and line up the sun, the breakwater, the boat, the embers, oh, and cue perfect sunrise. It is shots like this that make you just roll over and go back to sleep and let someone who knows what they are doing take the shot.

By the way, has anyone seen Rubber Duck? Haven’t seen her since the bonfire. I hope she isn’t a little rubber puddle down at Back Beach.

Analemma Part II, sunrise

Posted on by paultmorrison

I was admiring Joey’s sunrise photo he posted today and started thinking about where exactly the sunrise was this morning and when he would post a sunrise with the sun splitting the twin towers on Thachers.

After screwing around with astronomy tables for an hour I discovered a web calculator that figures it all out.  Solar Calculator click here.
1) Go to site and click on the map.
2) Keep double-clicking until the marker is in your backyard.
3) Go to the bottom of the table and click “show on map” both the sunrise and sunset.

Sunrise in Joey’s shot this morning at Good Harbor Beach was way down here:
This position of sunrise is not much different from a month ago at the winter solstice:

That’s because the sun is swinging around the bottom of the analemma (I posted here) and there isn’t much change. But we are gaining two minutes a day in day length now and it won’t be long before sunrise is before 7AM (January 29 to exact).

On June 21 during the summer solstice Joey will have the sun rise right about here on Good Harbor:

Check the solar calculator out. It is really easy to use once you get the hang of jumping around. Save your backyard position or figure out the exact day that a Good Harbor sunrise splits the uprights of the Twin towers. Lazy photographers who want to know exactly where the sun will be rising for their morning shot can figure it all out here.

If you do one thing, get the map centered on your favorite sunrise and sunset spot with the “show sunrise” and show sunset” lines turned on and then move the dates to June 21 and December 21.

Now they just need to make one of these things for the moonrise.
