Beavertail Seascape

With all this talk about the Supermoon in late June, I thought I would take the opportunity to break from the sailing photography and shoot a seascape.  I hadn't been out to shoot a seascape in over a month and it was time to go somewhere quiet and soak in the scene!  I decided to head over to Beavertail which I had been sorely neglecting, and catch the rising moon as the sun set behind me.

Somewhat calm waters that wouldn't threaten my life, and wonderfully...
