Commercial Street Dock Under the Half Moon

Commercial Street Dock Under the Half Moon

On Wednesday, April 3rd, I awoke before the sun rose and headed out in search of good light. I ended up at Hammond Park and shared an image from there last week. After that image, I kept looking for new and different compositions and happened upon this one.

The now old (and replaced) Commercial Street dock was set at a nice diagonal and the lights on the causeway were still (mostly) lit at 6:10am when this shot was taken. There was a subtle pink/orange glow at the horizon (almost 90 degrees from the angle of the sun rise) which helped […]

The Wave and the Causeway

The Wave and the Causeway

The latest storm to hit our shores made landfall on Thursday, March 7th and the forecasters were predicting huge waves and storm surges at high tide.

By using this special lens, I was able to keep the lamp posts in the distance lined up straight while still playing with the plane of focus and keeping the guard rail out of the frame. Won’t be too much longer before the beach is packed as we cool off from the heat of Summer…

Tonight’s Sunset over the Causeway

Tonight’s Sunset over the Causeway

sunset over causeway

For the first night in what seems like forever, the conditions seemed right for a solid sunset. There were nice clouds in the sky, it wasn’t bitterly cold out and I was free to shoot (not stuck at work watching as the sky exploded in different colors). I made my way down Ocean Avenue and stopped at Devereux beach. The light looked good but I decided to quickly scout out the view from the Neck. Turned out […]
