Sunset at the Point

I haven't been in the water for sunset in a while.  But the opportunity finally presented itself a couple weeks ago.  The sky was clear for once, there was a bump of swell in the water but apparently no one really deemed it worthwhile because the lineup was empty.  Fellow photographer friend Gus Potter grabbed his board instead of a camera, and the two of us hopped in with only half an hour or so before sunset to catch a few with the one other soul already in the water.   It was a little windy and wonky, and certainly cold, but it was one of my favorite sessions this month.  You just can't beat that dusky light!

With my abstract seascape series I find myself going out at similar times of day, with similar weather conditions, and coming back with similar shots. It can be difficult to put a new twist on a body of work. You...

Summer Sunsets at Second Beach

As I mentioned recently, I've been trying to find time for creative work instead of the sailing events that consume my summer calendar. So, with a clear sky and dusk moonrise in the forecast, I packed up my seascape photography kit and made my way to Second Beach in Newport. Too often I find myself running to nearby beaches like the North Kingstown Town Beach or Narragansett Beach for last minute...
