Winter be damned! Leave a comment
After so many posts of frozen flowers, icy ponds, snowy trees and wind-swept beaches, I decided I HAD to post something sunny and warm. Here’s our beach in the summer – a far cry from the empty and icy beach it is now. Can’t wait for summer!

Hammonasset Beach in Connecticut is covered in these shells. Finding a spot where they take up the entire viewfinder wasn’t difficult. Deciding whether I like the color or b&w version better was tough.

Winter Beach Panoramas Leave a comment
It’s now so cold that the saltwater is freezing, leaving interesting ice formations on the beach at low tide.

With very little to see in winter, my attention turns to the really small things on the beach:

These geese were making a few passes over the field behind our house during sunrise, and then they disappeared beyond the horizon. Hope they found a warm place to set down.

Beach Panoramas Leave a comment
I think that cropping some pictures of large vistas focuses the eye on the essential part of the picture – too much sky and things tend to get lost. Here are some recent pictures where I tried that approach:
-
- Long Island Sound
-
- Clinton Town Beach
-
- Storm Brewing
-
- Sunset with Swans

Even in the cold, wet weather, the local beach provides some good photo opportunities – you just have to get close to your subject.

I know that the rule is to keep the sun out of the picture, and preferably behind you, but this time I thought I’d experiment doing the opposite.

Welcome Skylark 2 comments
Ok, it didn’t take long before I took our new dog, Skylark, to the beach for a photo session. She’s a 10-year old retired Guide Dog for the Blind from California, who is now getting used to Connecticut weather and the notion that it’s OK to chase bunnies and squirrels. She already took control of the backyard, which she patrols diligently. Soon this sweet and well-mannered German Shepherd will think she owns the whole neighborhood..

Taken a few days before hurricane Sandy, when the weather was still nice enough to wander to the beach without a heavy jacket.

Herons on the prowl Leave a comment
Several herons (or egrets) made the marsh near our town beach their hunting ground today. What graceful creatures – and perfect for photographers since they tend to stand very still as they wait for unsuspecting fish to appear at their feet.
this one took off as soon as I got closer than 100 feet.
Soaring towards another feeding spot:

This was shot around sunset, when the only thing still lit up by the sun’s rays were the kites of these surfers.
