Mid November we had a string of nice warm days (and by warm I mean around 50-60° midday). Of course, it was still below 40 most mornings, but we were predicted to have partial cloud cover and above freezing temperatures so I went to Narragansett Beach for some sunrise shots! I was walking along hoping to find something partially submerged by the water to anchor the foreground of my composition but...
I tried to go out during Hurricane Sandy to shoot, but one thing after another and no power meant I had to stay at home. I did, however, make it out the day after Sandy had left to see some of the destruction. The Jamestown Bridge was still closed so I couldn't get over to the islands, but I did make it down to Narragansett. Navigating around closed roads and downed trees I managed to get to...
There are a couple of items necessary to capture long exposures, first is dim lighting conditions. We can't control the sun but we can control when we go shooting, so for dimmer light I go on overcast and cloudy days and during dusk hours around sunrise and sunset. Along with a carefully picked time of day, I also go into the field with a couple of filters known as Neutral Density Filters, which...
Well here it is, my second attempt at a seascape at Sachuest Point. And this time I went for a sunset instead of sunrise, so I was able to navigate the terrain in bright sunlight in order to find my preferred photo spot! Of course it was high tide, which posed a problem, and it was an incoming tide with high surf from a low pressure system swirling somewhere offshore. I walked all the way to...

I idolize and admire the galactic photographers capturing incredible images of the night sky and Milky Way from the remote regions of desert where light pollution cannot reach. Those pictures always make you stop and stare, thinking about life elsewhere in the...
