On the coast in Rye, NH, land meets sea. The little point of land that juts out into the ocean was just barely accessible at high tide, and many people were there taking advantage. You can find traces of human amidst the frame here as people wandered about and enjoyed being in the midst of the ocean. The long exposure lends an airiness and emptiness to the scene.
It doesn’t take a boat to be a fisherman. This gentleman was strolling up and down the shore in Ogunquit, Maine in an effort to catch something. It was both enjoyable and fascinating to watch, as the sun set on the east coast. Taken with a 100-300mm older zoom lens, I was trying to get out of my usual pattern of grand landscape shots. I like the vignetting on the lens from being wide open as I tried to try and freeze the fisherman’s cast.
The Atlantic Ocean is mesmerizing. I could watch it for hours. This shot taken on the coastline in Rye is the closest thing that a camera can present in a single exposure to the calmness that the ocean conveys despite its eternal motion.
The proud owners of these oceanfront homes get to enjoy this magnificent view day in and day out. We were driving around Ogunquit when we stumbled on this road, which happened to be well positioned to catch the clouds and their reflections in the ocean. The depth in the shot with the walkways and the fence drew me in immediately, so we absolutely had to pull over for a few quick exposures.
A serene winter scene from last year on the seacoast in Rye, NH to kick off your weekend. I like the otherworldly sort of feel to it and the sense of calm and emptiness. Stay warm and enjoy!
The Marginal Way in Ogunquit must be one of the most beautiful pulaces on the eastern seaboard. The rocky coastline is marked by a beautiful walking path, with direct water access and a magnificent view of the Atlantic Ocean and plenty of massive coastal homes. I’d shot here before, although in a limited area…and I found myself shooting in a new spot this time around. Immediately I recognized a landmark, as I’d seen beautifully captured before by my good friend Chris Lazzery - who has made some great images during his visits here.
The landmark was this massive lifeguard chair perched on the rock. It’s very striking when captured well…I’ve got a couple more exposures of it that I like and plan to share soon. I will definitely be back for another attempt!
Early in the spring, the trees began to regain their color and personality that they lost in the fall. Buds began appearing – and the trees here along the coast in New Castle at Great Island Common enjoy their waterfront view of the Atlantic Ocean.
