Ice Breaker
08 January 2014 -- 8/365
Barrington, Rhode Island
It was 8 degrees F this morning. That's -13 C. As you can see, the salt water in Bullocks Cove is frozen. It makes you wonder just how much you have to irritate your boss to be assigned ice breaker duty. That's what the freezing guy in the speedboat is doing out beyond the second dock. He's motoring up and down the the area between the docks - I'm sure one of you boaters can tell us what that area is called - breaking the ice. And freezing his butt off. Don't forget freezing his butt off. For the record, though, those are gulls circling over his head, not vultures. It's too cold for vultures, and they don't like frozen meat.
Post processing started with a classic filter in Topaz B&W FX. I adjusted color sensitivity sliders, adaptive exposure, regions, contrast, boost black, and protect highlights. A levels adjustment was added in PSE.

The Breakers is the grandest of Newport's summer "cottages" and a symbol of the Vanderbilt family's social and financial preeminence in turn of the century America. Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt (1794-1877) established the family fortune in steamships and later in the New York Central Railroad, which was a pivotal development in the industrial growth of the nation during the late 19th century. The Commodore's grandson, Cornelius Vanderbilt II, became Chairman and President of the New York Central Railroad system in 1885, and purchased a wooden house called The Breakers in Newport during that same year. In 1893, he commissioned architect Richard Morris Hunt to design a villa to replace the earlier wood-framed house which was destroyed by fire the previous year. Hunt directed an international team of craftsmen and artisans to create a 70 room Italian Renaissance- style palazzo inspired by the 16th century palaces of Genoa and Turin. Allard and Sons of Paris assisted Hunt with furnishings and fixtures, Austro-American sculptor Karl Bitter designed relief sculpture, and Boston architect Ogden Codman decorated the family quarters.
The Vanderbilts had seven children. Their youngest daughter, Gladys, who married Count Laszlo Szechenyi of Hungary, inherited the house on her mother's death in 1934. An ardent supporter of The Preservation Society of Newport County, she opened The Breakers in 1948 to raise funds for the Society. In 1972, the Preservation Society purchased the house from her heirs. Today, the house is designated a National Historic Landmark.

Long exposure of waves breaking on the rocks on the northern end of Folly Island, 2-3 minute exposure.
The intent was to completely rip off Bob's style of work at notraces.com, except that I didn't expose long enough, and it was very peaceful - my local manmade lake has bigger surf than what was happening here when I shot it.
Side note, though, getting in the water here is prohibited (considered trespassing), because of the deadly currents... this part of the inlet used to be island, until Hurricane Hugo washed it away, so there's all kinds of crap making the water very turbulent and dangerous.
