After my first successful attemptat this water panning technique, I set my sights on other beaches to try out this new found interest. First up was Green Hill, the southern shore that plays host to so many of my winter seascapes! It was a golden afternoon with broken clouds slowing moving in from the west. I played with the water as the sun sank lower and moved over to some buried driftwood (which...
I didn't want my winter photography to become stale. As exciting as it is getting up before the sun in the dead of winter, I needed a new project to work on. After seeing photography of individuals like David Orias and Bryce Johnson, I came across a photographic technique that piqued my interest. This is called water panning, where the camera moves for a fraction of a second with the wave as it...

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.

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...
