Beavertail Seascape

With all this talk about the Supermoon in late June, I thought I would take the opportunity to break from the sailing photography and shoot a seascape.  I hadn't been out to shoot a seascape in over a month and it was time to go somewhere quiet and soak in the scene!  I decided to head over to Beavertail which I had been sorely neglecting, and catch the rising moon as the sun set behind me.

As the storm passed offshore there was some really big surf generated for Rhode Island and I went to a local surf spot to watch a few friends and take some shots. It was my first time shooting surfing, and luckily the break was close enough to shore that I could...
