Went down and shot another Sakonnet Point sunrise this morning. I figured I’d get one last sunrise in for 2009 (this is something like 35 for the year!). Andy also had the day off so he and I had a good time shooting for a few hours before the snow rolled in (on the drive […]

Got out for a sunset today. Decided to try Hulls Cove in Jamestown as I’d been there for a few sunrises and knew there was potential. I also stopped by the Conanicut Marina dock in Jamestown on the way home and snagged a shot of the dock office I’d been after. All in all a […]

I’m trying to force myself to get back into flash photography again. I had to take studio photography in school and never really liked it. I’ve owned flashes various times but avoid using them whenever possible. But I LOVE the look the guys who make light work for them can get, so I’ve decided to […]

Merry Christmas Everyone! Obviously that was 2 days ago, but we were racing around town visiting people, having Santa visit our house, and having some of Nikki’s friends over throughout the last couple of days so it’s been a but hectic. We had a very nice Christmas with some great gifts amongst the adults while […]

Went out shooting again this morning. Didn’t tell anyone where I was going as I needed some solo time to think about some things. I decided to go to Taylor Point in Jamestown as it’s got a great view of the bridge and is reasonably close to home (less than 30 minutes -vs- 45+ for […]

This is more for fun than anything else, but I figured I’d share it. I setup my tripod in my backseat for the drive home from Sachuest Monday night and took a few shots. It’s easier than it looks really, it’s just set to Av and f/5.6 and it’s pea brain does the rest of […]

I decided to try to get some snowy sunset shots yesterday. Everything was against me on this shoot. I got behind a few slow cars on the way there after mistakenly thinking it’d take the same amount of time to get there at 3:30pm as it does first thing in the morning. It’s in fact […]

Went back to stepping stone falls today to shoot something interesting in the cold with all the new snow we received Sunday (~18″ with much deeper drifts). Had a great time shooting in some difficult light. The color shots at the end have descriptions under them.

Well I know this is a day late, sorry for that. I just got asked to do a bus trip on Sunday which messed up our entire weekend schedule. We ended up going to my parents for Christmas Dinner as they’re off the SLC and Telluride CO for actual Christmas. We had a great time […]

Went out to Sachuest again this morning. For whatever reason I really like it there. I think it has to do with it’s rocky beaches, but also with it’s variety as there are the big rocks with waves crashing as well as beaches and some wildlife. We had 5 guys there again this morning enjoying […]

Just got a few things in today. Moo cards are something I’d heard of before coming from flickr. They’re actually an independent company that just has the ability to use your flickr images to make cards (that’s how I did these). They’re from London but have a US “base” that just happens to be in […]

Elias got to meet Santa finally! He’s been saying “Ho Ho Ho!!!” every time he’s seen one for a few weeks now, but his daycare had “breakfast with Santa” Saturday morning. It was a fun event where we all had breakfast and they had Santa there ready to take requests. Elias wasn’t ready to sit […]

Went back to Sachuest Point again today. There are a lot of shooting options there and we “scouted” a few last weekend I wanted to get back to. We had 6 guys there today which was great with another new guy to the group (a friend who’d just never gotten up with us before) and […]

Well we had our third thanksgiving today. 2 weeks ago was with my photo friends at our house, last week was with Nikki’s family, then tonight we went over to my parents to catch up after their delivery south, so my mom figured why not cook a turkey?! Which was of course amazing and I’m […]

Went to Sachuest Point this morning for the sunrise. The weather was terrible, it rained on us enough I only took ~10 shots the entire morning. We had a great group from my forum though, 5 guys for the first time in a long time. We ended up walking to the north end w/o cameras […]
