Another image from the archives. There was some sweet airflow in the skies on this stormy evening.

One from way back in the archives. I still remember this sunset...one of the best I've witnessed.

Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Made a stop this evening at one of my favorite spots in Rhode Island...Castle Hill Lighthouse. With a 40% cloud cover forecast I figured there might be a chance for great cloud light. Well... a solid cloud ceiling on the Western horizon kinda spoiled the show. Nonetheless, there was some decent pastels towards the Northeast side of the sky. I don't seem to remember the rocks being so colorful here, but they're quite amazing...with shades of green and reddish purple. It's quite an exceptional place.

Another attempt at star trails. This was an idea I had for an assignment called "transportation," showing two modes: automobiles and the big blue marble we're all riding through space and time on.

approximately 220 - 30 second images shot over two hours, stacked in Photoshop and blended to reduce the harsh light of the automobiles passing by the camera.

The foreground is lit by headlights of passing vehicles. The treeline lit on the horizon is crossroad traffic.

Sit in reverie and watch the changing color of the waves that break upon the idle seashore of the mind.

Once again, the weather forecasters were wrong as we ran over to Rhode Island Saturday morning to one of our favorite spots, Beavertail State Park. So, with nothing going on in the sky to speak of, we walked around looking for potential compositions. This composition to me is great but incomplete. I can't wait to utilize this as my foreground in a great sky, it will make a fantastic vertorama. It's halfway there.
