Two Seconds at Grace Oliver Beach

A recent storm coincided with the full moon which meant storm surges and high waves. While the peak happened at 10pm, I decided to venture out the next day to see if any remnants of the storm would provide for good long exposure shots. I got to Grace Oliver beach pretty close to high tide and was treated to impressive waves crashing almost to the sidewalk. I used a 10-stop filter to block the light and allow for this two second exposure in the middle of the day. The long exposure turned the waves into mist and this shot was [...]

The Ocean Breathes – Castle Rock

I added a new tool to my camera bag this week and had a great time taking it out for an inaugural shoot. This was a return to Castle Rock on the Marblehead Neck. With the 10-stop neutral density filter, I was able to take this 30 second exposure and turn the ocean waves into a soft mist. It's a great feeling to produce an image that cannot be seen 'in the moment' but can be appreciated for showing a spot in a new light. Technical: Canon 50D and EF-S 17-55mm lens with 10-stop ND filter. Single exposure.

Iron Bars – Preston Beach

There is an old storm drain that opens up at Preston Beach. The pipe has corroded with time and, on the other side, stands an iron grate. Over the years, it has accumulated tiny stones of many colors that serve to accentuate the rust, mossy greens and large rocks all around. This scene changes rapidly with the tides - I happened upon it at just the right moment. Technical: Canon 50D with EF-S 10-22 lens. 6 exposure bracket.

First Light – Castle Rock

Castle Rock can be found on the Marblehead Neck and includes a nice rock to climb as well as a small beach that only appears at low tide. It is also one of the first places to receive the sun's rays every morning. Caught this sunrise on a particularly warm and clear morning. Technical: Canon 50D and EF-S 10-22. 6 bracket exposure.
