Wingersheek Beach Boardwalk

Posted on by Mike Lindberg

 This photograph was taken at Wingersheek Beach. I used a technique called HDR (High Dynamic Range) photography. It takes 3 photos that have 3 different exposures and combines them into one HDR photograph.

 

Hello All, My name is Michael Lindberg and I am from Gloucester. I have been asked by Joey to be a regular contributer to GMG. I am very exited to be participating in such a great blog. I enjoy photography, videography, graphic arts, music, fishing and boating. I have traveled around the world for the past 30 years and there is nothing more I like than returning home to what I feel is the best place on earth. I hope you all will comment on my posts and let me know what you think.

Tom Porter & Shamus

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

Tom Porter owns The Susan & Kimberly, a lobster boat.  Tom is one of about six guys in this harbor that have the absolute best stories to tell.  You could listen to the outrageous antics that he has lived through fishing for hours and hours and never get tired.

He brought down Shamus the day before yesterday, a 4 month old Irish Jack Russell.  It’s kinda funny to see rough, tough Tommy Porter handle this little puppy.
