It was a crisp winter day, one of those days that feel warm when you face the sun, making the weather quite tolerable. The surf was up so it was time to head to the southern coast to see what my camera might capture. It was a slightly overcast day with little to no breeze. The air didn't bite my fingers off while I went glove-less screwing filters onto my lens. This was my first trip down to...
It seems I've forgotten about Jamestown a lot recently. I'll either be shooting in South County or in Newport, but not very much on the island in between. One of the greatest spots on the island is Beavertail Lighthouse, a popular stop for tourists, locals, photographers and the like. I remember going to Beavertail with the family when I was little to watch the storms blow in. Last year I captured...
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...

We can't control the sun but we can control when we go shooting, so for dimmer light I go on overcast and cloudy days and during dusk hours around sunrise and sunset. Along with a carefully picked time of day, I also go into the field with a couple of filters known as Neutral Density Filters, which...
Well here it is, my second attempt at a seascape at Sachuest Point. And this time I went for a sunset instead of sunrise, so I was able to navigate the terrain in bright sunlight in order to find my preferred photo spot! 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...
