Moonrise Yoga

I try to cram a lot into my summer season.  From the sailing and regattas, to unexpected surf sessions, to lifestyle shoots, not to mention getting out for any landscapes while the trees aren't bare, there's a lot to be done in a short period of time.

I couldn't find any composition among the rocky shoreline that enthralled me, and opted to climb...

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...
