Some days I just don't feel like swimming. Some days I don't feel like shooting with a 7lb telephoto setup on the beach. Those days are perfectly suited for drone shots, should the wind be accommodating enough.

I haven't been in the water for sunset in a while. But the opportunity finally presented itself a couple weeks ago.

The skies have cleared! It finally feels like winter has departed and made way for spring (if not summer). By mid-month we had several days of calm skies, light breezes, and plenty of sun. I took the opportunity to venture to Point Judith Lighthouse one Friday afternoon with fellow photographer Kat Carney.
We arrived with plenty of time before sunset, and after a quick judgement call regarding...
Fifty degree weather in the middle of January tends to lead to foggy situations. I decided to venture out early one morning to see if I could catch some sea smoke with a great sunrise, but instead I was greeted with the thickest fog I had seen in quite a long time. I went all the way down to Point Judith's Fisherman's Memorial Park where I knew I could capture some foggy seascapes. A large boulder...
