Rhode Island Wave Morning
I am always keeping an eye on the forecast for waves. Waves are such a big part of my life since I was a kid. I sail them, foil them, paddle them, study them, and of course film, and photograph of them. There are multiple locations that are my favorites, and this week I have added a few more.
February 18th there were some nice waves to capture, not too big, but great texture with low light. This is rarely the case, but when I arrived early this time it struck me right away. I knew the sun was breaking out in a few hours, as the cold front was in sight to the North West. Being there early gave me one to three minute gift when yellow/gold streaks popped in the sky, and brought out the texture on the wave. Later when the sun was out the waves were smaller, and not that great to shoot being all backlit. Also I could not get low enough to the water to take advantage of the backlit conditions. So I stayed for a while with sun out, none of those were keepers.
There were waves close that looked nice, but again the rocks had me too high to really bring out the best of the wave. So I used my Sony A1, with Sony FE 400 f/2.8 GM lens, on Really Right Stuff tripod to capture the outer waves about 800 feet out. Luckily I was set up with a wind block, and my amazing Sony gear helped to get the sequence. In the gallery below the shots are seven wave sequence, and the blue waves.
Enjoy the nine shots, most will make it to the store. Have fun, and if you ever need a passionate photographer/videographer with experience, hit me up on the contact page.
