I've done shoots in Narragansett for surfing, at twilight and dusk to capture the Towers, but I had never gone for a sunrise seascape shoot until recently. These were two separate visits to Narragansett Beach during low tide. The first was at dusk as the clouds rolled in and the sky turned pale pink. With extra sand removed from the beach after the hurricane, the old pillons and remnants of Old...
Mid November we had a string of nice warm days (and by warm I mean around 50-60° midday). Of course, it was still below 40 most mornings, but we were predicted to have partial cloud cover and above freezing temperatures so I went to Narragansett Beach for some sunrise shots! I was walking along hoping to find something partially submerged by the water to anchor the foreground of my composition but...
We aren't unaccustomed to brutal winter weather. I'd like to think New Englanders can actually be rather resistent to the constant flux of weather patterns we experience. 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 guess size does matter!) Then only a week or so...

Of course it was high tide, which posed a problem, and it was an incoming tide with high surf from a low pressure system swirling somewhere offshore. I walked all the way to...

I idolize and admire the galactic photographers capturing incredible images of the night sky and Milky Way from the remote regions of desert where light pollution cannot reach. Those pictures always make you stop and stare, thinking about life elsewhere in the...
