I was in Sag Harbor and spied this small flock of about ten ducks. They were a species I hadn’t seen around here before. I sat on the Village Wharf and waited for them to get within camera range and took a few photos. I looked up the ducks and found out they were Long Tailed Ducks which come down from Northern Canada to winter over.

There isn’t much marsh on the bay but there is a strip of grass behind a few mansions. Today the light was right to get a image.

Wave photos seem to be the new think around the local galleries. Most of the photos are straight forward rolling waves with good surfing breaks. I like a little more drama so I am posting these. Both were taken on a cold day with a strong Northwest wind which creates the drama.

Today I stopped over to Mecox Bay and caught the end of the day ice boaters. Every winter when the bay ices over these hardy sailers get there ice boats out. Some of these boats can reach speeds of 65 mph or more. Below are a couple of photos from the day.

I have been working on a concept for a new group of photos. The concept consist of photo shopping the image of a man covered in black latex into landscapes and other images these are the first two images. Not sure if I want to continue with this concept some feedback would be appreciated. Thanks.

It’s been a busy fall and holiday season not a lot of time for photography. However I did get in a trip to London, Paris and the Loire Valley. I was in London for Armistice Day and had the opportunity to see the poppy exhibit at the Tower Of London. 880,00 ceramic poppies one for each solider killed in WWI. A very impressive exhibit.
A few days ago I had some time to walk around the dunes at Flying Point Beach in Water Mill. I had Sam my Duck Tolling Retriever with me. A close eye on the dog was needed for fear he would get into trouble or swim in the frigid waters. At one time he got himself trapped in a maze of fencing designed to hold sand on the dunes. I did manage to get a few photos, and had some fun converting them to black and white. Playing with the red filter adjustment in Silver Efex 2 made ordinary photos more dramatic. Below are a few photos from the day’s walk, hope you enjoy them.
