Yay, surf! It was the first big surf of 2013 and I'm sure the surfers were happier about it than I was. The 1,000 mile long storm at the end of January stretched from Florida to New England. As warm spring collided with cold winter, tornadoes arrived in Georgia and swell came to RI. It was 6-8' from the southwest with a strong west southwest breeze. Watching the forecast all week it looked like...

But at the end of October we met Hurricane Sandy face to face, and many people we surprisingly unprepared. (I still can't believe just a Category 1 could cause so much damage.

I headed over to Point Judith again to get shots of the waves and surfers. I'm starting to get much more comfortable with my new Nikon TC-20e IIIteleconverter, both during shooting and editing. I went to Point Judith...
