Ralph asked me to swing by spring street a couple of weeks ago to snag some shots of a project I’d already shot once. We’re working on a series of shoots here to show the stages of the process. Last time the old structure was still there, now the walls are up and the roof […]

Went out on another sunrise shoot Sunday. It was pretty cold so we got some nice ice in the water. We also scoped out Castle Kill afterwards and found some interesting locations there as well, but very challenging light.

Finally made it out on another sunrise shoot this morning. It feels like it’s been forever, but it’s only been two weeks. I’ve just been super busy lately and skiing more than I should so I skipped last weekend. But the forcast (and reality) for this morning was partly cloudy which is pretty much our […]

I had one vacation day left from 2009 that needed to be used by Friday, so Friday it was. I wanted to get out and shoot something productive so I decided to take my 10-stop filter (think limo tint for cameras) out to the beach for a few shots then also visited Hazard Rd in […]

Got up early this morning and went to Sachuest with Eric. It was 9 degrees out and there weren’t many clouds so it was work to get some shots to make getting up worthwhile. I’m trying to get ~45 sunrises this year, so I didn’t want to miss one this early in the season.

Went on the first landscape shoot of 2010. It was crap weather but I figured I’d go anyway as I’m trying for 45+ landsapes this year (I shot 39 in 2009) and didn’t want to miss the very first weekend. We actually had 5 guys in the group this morning as most felt the same […]

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 […]

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.

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Made it out for another NSOP sunrise this morning. This time we went to a new spot in Sakonnet RI. It’s a bit of a drive considering it’s still in the same tiny state (but I do have to drive though Mass to get there), but it is a very interesting location. For some reason […]
