Beachscape in Winter

In my earlier post, I talked a bit about finding a nice frozen waterfall to photograph, which was a blast. In case you thought that to be an isolated incident, let me set you straight with a couple of images from a tour of beaches on the Massachusetts Northshore and Southern New Hampshire.

Crashing Waves

These are from the end of January, 2015, on a day that was windy and raw, as you can see from the waves crashing on boulders at the beach.  Luckily, I was dressed for this with warm boots, ski pants and sufficient layers to keep me comfortable.

Most of the day was pretty much overcast, which left the light rather flat…

Flotsam

But in the afternoon, the sun started showing itself a bit more, which provided wonderful opportunity to photograph some of the more interesting pieces on the beach.

I wholeheartedly recommend going out on cold days to explore places that most people only visit when it’s warm.

    1. It’s not often that we get enough snow to make beach snow photography an option, as it tends to blow away quickly, but last year was phenomenal!
