Dave and I went down to Point Judith this morning. The storm and it’s associated clouds had already passed through so the sunrise was a bit tricky to shoot, but it was fun seeing the surfers show up before the sun was over the horizon and paddle out. We stuck around to shoot some surfers […]

Finally made it down to Watch Hill RI this morning. I skipped yesterday morning because I woke up at 4:30 and you could CLEARLY see everything in the back yard with the bright moon and ZERO clouds in the sky. Because I missed the day where someone else in the group had called the location, […]

I also hit up Stepstone falls this morning since it’s on the way home from the lighthouse. I couldn’t believe how low the water was there today as I’ve only seen it with a lot more water flowing. It was a lot of fun to be able to explore the area by simply walking down […]

I normally don’t post too much about new camera announcements (even though I follow them pretty closely, I’m obviously a gear nut!), but this year’s photokina has 2 new compact cameras that have caught my attention enough I thought I’d mention them. The first is Fuji’s X100. It was announced before the show and EVERYONE […]

I recently picked up a lens changer 3 from thinktankphoto. Well, I guess I shouldn’t say recently, I tend to take my time evaluating a product before I consider reviewing it because I want to see how I like the product after the initial “honeymoon” has worn off. For this reason my bag reviews generally […]

Went down to Newton Ave Saturday AM with Brian. We had a nice time shooting the sunrise. It wasn’t epic, but it was MUCH better than last weekend. We went down to PJ and then Monahan’s afterwards to look for surfers but really didn’t see much.

Well it’s been a busy and fun weekend. The above shot is actually one I DID NOT TAKE. Credit for that goes to Brian Harrington who’s a friend of mine through the forum and a fellow landscape shooter. He and I shot Newton Ave Saturday morning then went down to Point Judith to check the […]

Had an AWESOME group of NSOP guys at Sachuest Saturday. We were joking there were more of us than clouds in the sky as it was BLUE BIRD… Not great for landscapes but it was still fun with the group. The guys had flown into town for a party so after the lackluster sunrise we […]

Well I skipped last weeks update. We’ve just been super busy lately and honestly I didn’t have all that many pictures to add so I figured I’d do a 2fer. We had an adventurous week though… A skunk decided to try to move into the crawl space directly under our bedroom… We ended up spending […]

I’m sure my family will read this post and wonder what on earth is NSOPgiving, and if it is anything like thanks giving, why is this in September? Well, NSOP is my photo forum that I run, and we have a yearly meet in the fall we call NSOPgiving that’s like a fun backyard party […]
