Low Tide at King's Beach

I've been on the hunt for some new areas for seascape photography, particularly textural scenes or tidepools. After hearing about King's Beach over by Brenton Point in Newport, I decided to give it a try!

This was one of the first really nice warm days of spring and I was so happy to get outside and enjoy the sun and warm air! I managed to finish up all my other tasks for the day and pack up my camera bag about an hour and a...
