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.
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.
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!
In this coastal shot of an inland marsh, it has a rich and painterly feeling. The natural beauty of the cloud cover is illuminated thanks to some late day light and the muted sky colors, offset by the lush foreground.
The coastline has many gorgeous nooks and crannies. Usually I turn my attention to the short and rocky coastline for images, but I’ve been dying to get a nice shot of a marsh with a glorious sunrise or sunset behind it. The afternoon I made it out to shoot most recently only had clouds and mist to share…so I had to make due. I love the dark mood of the shot, still vibrant thanks to the lush greenery throughout the frame.
There is something soothing about going for a drive along the coastline. I went for a drive this past weekend and was greeted with misty weather, a bit raw and cooler along the stormy waves – so it was the perfect opportunity to break out the neutral density filter and calm the water down in-camera. The colors were very muted, although a hint of blue sky can be found despite the cloud activity on the horizon.
It’s been a very busy few months. Days have been full of working and planning, nights have been full of home renovations, all to get ready for our wedding day. Steph and I are overwhelmed with excitement for our big day, July 16th, where we’ll be getting married at the Wentworth by the Sea Country Club. This incredibly gorgeous and picturesque setting on the waterfront suits us perfectly.
Thanks to everyone for staying tuned here at The Daily Portsmouth – and I promise to get back to a regular schedule once things calm down, the house is finished, and we are happily married! Thanks to everyone who helped us get here, and to everyone who has made it so special.
