Beach anyone?
Anyone want to hang out at the beach? I’ll save you a seat.
Tempest
I made it out to Folly Beach over the weekend and managed to get there before sunrise. I took my bike so that I could ride down to the North end of the island which is a state park and looks over to Morris Island Light House. I had visions of capturing the rising […]
Turtle Tracks
While exploring the beach at Botany Bay Nature Preserve I came across several sea turtle tracks where the mothers had come up the beach looking for a place to lay eggs. In two places, I was dejected to find that the turtle had run into an obstacle and turned around. Here you […]
Pointed
These rocks are intended to keep the sand intact, while the continual tide erodes and removes it moving it onto sandbars or further down the beach. The houses right behind this are in constant jeopardy of falling into the sea. As far as I know there are ridiculous rules about putting sandbags and other […]
Reflection
The beach at Botany Bay Heritage Preserve has several dead trees still standing and washed by the tide. This particular one cast a beautiful reflection in the wet sand. It’s an amazingly peaceful and calming spot. Alone with the birds, I strolled back and forth observing pure nature in reflection.
Here Comes the Sun
I went out to the beach this morning after waking up really early and was greeted with a very low tide. Water was streaming out in little rivers from the constant tidal pools or tidal lakes as there are at this spot. While the dolphins were swimming around chasing fish for breakfast, I composed […]
Night Fishing
This couple had driven for an hour and a half to come and see the sunset over Charleston and try their hand at loosing bait. When I ran into them they were down big time and unfortunately had not had any payouts. A few nibbles here and there to keep their interest […]
Gulfweed
Sargassum seaweed washed ashore during low tide catching the rising sun just right. Just after taking this photo, I met another photographer from Dallas who was out shooting the beach and pier in the morning sun. She had just got selected to travel to Alaska with a National Geographic team to photograph the Northern […]
Patience
A Great Blue Heron stands resolutely as the sun rises, carefully watching for his next meal.
In A Row
Sullivan’s Island sunrise during heavy haze.
These rocks were lined up pretty nicely and I tried to capture them headed out to sea and pointing in the general direction of the sun. The low level ozone generated very hazy conditions and produces amazing red and orange colors, that you can see here.
