What a difference six hours can make. The first photograph, titled Noctilucent Waves, was taken on a cold March night. It is a 30 second exposure just off the boardwalk in Rehobeth Beach, MD. Anyone who saw me, and there were a few including two of the friends I was with, would see a crazy guy with a flashlight in hand running into the ocean and chasing the waves with the light. It was cold! And I made many attempts, each time the light from my flashlight would charge into the waves just ahead of me; it was the only way to get my puny light to reach the waves out as far into the ocean as I wanted.
It is titled Noctilucent Waves and I was running in and out of the waves, in the cold, and was worth it.
The other photograph I want to share with you was taken barely six hours and fifteen yards away. I and my friends got up quite early and drove a few miles away in hopes of catching the light from a rising sun on one of the world war two submarine watchtowers. Once finding a place to park, which wasn’t as easy nor as near to the beach as we hoped. After the rush through the mosquito infested pines onto the beach we see the tower. It’s nearly a half mile up the beach. We decided to go back to the hotel, fortunately the drive back to the hotel, which was going to be quicker than the hike to the tower, got us on the beach and in front of the jetty before sunrise. It was another very cold photo shoot. I think is was in the thirty-five degree range: brrrr.
If you are interested in either of these photographs to hang in your home or office please contact me for pricing.
