4th of July 2009!
by Ben
OR, vacation’s almost over? Yeah, it’s Sunday and work starts tomorrow. Vacation FLEW by waaaaaaay too fast this summer. The weather was pretty terrible most of the week (basically until Friday) so we didn’t get to do some of the fun things we’d planned. I did get out and shoot 4 sunrises on Wednesday, Thursday, […]
Newton Road IV:
by Ben
Made it 4 for 4 sunrises Saturday morning. I ended up meeting up with Dave from Flickr and he wanted to shoot Newton for his first time since high school. So off we went. It’s my fourth time down there recently but I don’t mind as there’s always plenty of new shots to try out […]

Narragansett Beach:
by Ben
Well it’s now 3 in a row for “sunrises”, but unfortunately it’s 2 in a row for not actually ever seeing the sun. I decided to try Narragansett beach on for size and it was fun. It meant I got to walk the length of the beach in order to get to where I wanted […]

Point Judith Lighthouse.
by Ben
Well, so far I’m 2 for 2 in waking up for the rest of the week. I decided today to go try Point Judith light. It’s a nice looking lighthouse right on the south western corner of the bay. It was a pretty gray moring w/o a good sunrise (I had to check my watch […]

Hazard Road III:
by Ben
We’re on vacation this week, and I came to the realization last night that I’d be more fun to go to sleep early (with Nikki) and wake up early (3:30am) and get some more sunrise shots this week. So I’m going to try to get a sunrise every morning for the rest of the week, […]

Sachuest Bird Sanctuary II
by Ben
Another of my weekly sunrise series. Andy and Eric made it down to Sachuest with me Saturday morning and we had a great time shooting another sunrise. Mother Nature played nice as well so it was well worth it. Sachuest is a very nice place for sunrises though as there’s a TON of possible spots […]

2009 RI Air Show!
by Ben
This weekend was the airshow. We live very close to quonset point, so we always make it a point to at least see the show. I’ve honestly never been, and each year I say I should, but the idea of the crowds turns me off. But I have been going closer and closer with where […]

Hey Mr Gellert, WE’RE ON VACATION!!!!!
by Ben
Most of you probably have no idea what that title’s all about, but Nikki and I are on vacation for a week… 2 days are already gone, but we’ve had some fun already. This weekend was the RI airshow which is basically in our back yard. So we had some friends over for that. Today […]
Happy Father’s Day!!!
by Ben
Happy Father’s Day to all the other Dads out there reading this! I had a wonderful day. Yes we had crappy weather all weekend, but we managed to have a lot of fun today and yesterday. Yesterday was my first bike ride for the year. The new bike path is very nice and just over […]
Newton Road III:
by Ben
Andy and I went down to Newton Road again this morning. It looked and sounded like we’d get fogged out (waking up to the fog horn at 3am isn’t reasuring) but we went and I’m glad we did. The waves were pretty epic which made for some good shooting. The only downside is it coated […]

Almost done?
by Ben
Yeah, I’m sure you’re sick and tired of hearing about this deck/patio, but think of how tired I am from working on the thing!!! This weekend my parents made some time to help again and we made some serious progress. Saturday Dad and I got all the pavers down for the patio while Nikki and […]
Sachuest Bird Sanctuary I
by Ben
Went out shooting again this morning. It’s becoming a habit and I’m loving it. Normally I’m terrible at getting up, but it seems for shooting I can do it. It’s been a lot of fun and I’m getting some shots I’m happy with. I’m also finding some great locations all over RI that’s making me […]

DIY GND
by Ben
This is an idea I’ve been playing with for a while now. I use X-pro cokin filters and they don’t have a a 10-stop ND available. Actually, no one does. So I took some plexi, got it cut down to the right size and took it to the local tint shop and had them put […]
