  • Hen’s Cove Great Blue Heron

    Stumbled across this Great Blue Heron on in Hen’s Cove this morning. He hung around just long enough for me to get the 300 and the 2x converter out of the trunk and put together, I guess it pays to carry all of your equipment in your trunk. More images after the jump…

  • First Night Shooting Sailing With The Outex Waterproof Housing

    Here are a few of the photos from the first night with the Outex waterproof housing. I have been wanting to try to get shots like these for a long time and as I expected they are kind of hit or miss. For these shots I set myself up on the swim platform of the […]

  • The H12 (Herreshoff 12)

    This was my first chance to shoot the Herreshoff 12 and what a cool little boat it is. The race started down wind from between Wing’s Neck and Scraggy Neck then continued around Bassett’s Island and back out the start line. Shooting the fleet as they worked their way through the channel on a busy […]

  • Stuart Knockabout Nationals 7/20/13

    On July 20th I was fortunate to shoot the Stuart Knockabout Nationals as they sailed in 20+ knots of breeze between Wings Neck and Scraggy Neck here in Cataumet MA. With the 4+ foot swells there was a lot of bailing going on around the course but these Herreshoff designed boats didn’t seem to mind […]

    It’s been a while since I broke out the macro lens so I took the opportunity to capture this jumping spider last weekend. All of these shots are with the Canon 1D MKIII and the Canon 100 2.8 macro lens. More photos after the jump.

  • Old Sigh Race Series 7/3/2013 THE FOG

    This week’s Old Sigh race brought out only 3 boats thanks in part to the dense fog that covered Buzzards Bay. The photo above is Hardtack moments after appearing from the fog about 50 yards from the finish. Photos available for sale here.  More photos after the jump…

  • Photoshop Tilt-Shift

    I’ve always loved the tilt-shift photos by Vincent LaForet  (if you haven’t seen his work it is definitly worth it the aerials and the tilt-shift stuff are my favorites). Unfortunately I have never been able to justify spending the money on such a specialty lens. Luckily you can fake this effect fairly well with a bit […]
