Andy and I made it out for another sunrise in the woods this morning.  It’s been 2 weeks as I took last weekend off for Sara and Jim’s wedding in CT.  We met at stepping stone in Arcadia Park in RI.  It’s a great spot for both of us as it’s basically halfway between our…

Andy Eric and I went to Ayer’s Gap this morning in Connecticut.  We had a great time hiking up the creek bed shooting as we went.  I’ve really been enjoying getting away from the ocean a bit lately as it seems easier to get good shots.  Maybe not great shots, but they’re hard on the…

Went out this morning and shot another sunrise.  The weather was crap but I really wanted to shoot so I went anyway.  It rained the entire drive down through Narragansett but stopped enough to shoot.  It was misting the entire time though so shooting into the wind was out.  It was an OK shoot, but…

Shot 2 sunrises this weekend.  I was supposed to have a group sunrise Saturday morning but slept in.  I guess my body was telling me I’d had enough.  Nikki ended up waking up at 6am and she got me up with enough time to walk down to our beach and get something out of it. …

Got out shooting another landscape this morning.  Half the group bailed because of the weather, but it turned out shootable.  Not nice, but not raining.  I actually got questioned by the police as the road to Sachuest was closed due to flooding but I (carefully) drove past the sign anyway (never drove through a puddle). …

Yeah, these are basically the same old things I usually share, just with bigger waves.  Turns out my camera may have gotten a little too wet on a wave that caught me off guard as well as it stopped working.  We’ll see how it drys out, and it’s insured, but that’s a headache I don’t…

Went out for another sunrise this morning.  Andy had scouted out a new spot for us in Newport at the end of Ledge road.  We’re still not sure if we can legally park there (it’s a residential sticker area from 8am to 6pm and a fishing sticker needed after 9pm, but technically 5am is before…

Went back to Newton for another sunrise. Yes, this is at least the fifth time, but it just doesn’t get old for some reason. It was a super low tide so I was able to make it out to the outer rocks w/o much issue. I was also playing with a new 12mm lens which…

Well this was my first sunrise since the 4 in a row on vacation.  It was great to get out there again.  The sunrise was OK, the sun itself was pretty rad, but then as soon as it was light enough the surfers started piling into the water.  That made it a bit more interesting…

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…

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…

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…

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,…
