Fayerweather Light Late Summer

We've seen many images of this subject at sunrise and some at sunset. Here's one taken in the late Summer when the skies were still bright around 8:00 PM. I take most of my shots of the Fayerweather Lighthouse late in the day when it is lit by the sun from the west. I liked this image because the curving jetty caries you into the scene. Enjoy!

Tidal Marsh In Mystic, Connecticut

One of the things that David Pressler taught me early on in my photography training was to always look around for the small details. Well this is what happened when I created this image. I was standing near the entrance to Mystic Seaport looking at all that it had to offer and when I looked to the left, I spotted this scene which to me is very pleasing. Hope you enjoy it.

Happy Thanksgiving

This was a chance shot taken by the Fayerweather Yacht Club early Tuesday morning. I had been up on the roof deck shooting the early morning sunrise and when I came out to the street there was a flock of wild turkeys running around. I advised this guy to hide for a few days and he was kind enough to pose for me. Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Fayerweather Light Sunrise

As you may have noticed, shooting the Fayerweather Light at the entrance to Black Rock Harbor is one of my favorite subjects. I've shot it from a variety of locations, most recently St. Mary's By The Sea in Black Rock. I hope you enjoy this image as much as I did creating it.

Early Morning Moon Set

While I was shooting the sunrise, I noticed the setting moon behind me and thought that this made an awesome shot through the tree branches. Hope you enjoy it!

Sunset In Black Rock Harbor

After all of the sunrise shots I had been creating, I thought it would be fun to shoot a sunset image. This one was created at Seaside Park near the fishing pier. At this time of year, you have to be on your toes because the sky literally lights up for only a minute or so and it's easy to miss.
