First Light: 5:46am - Sunrise: 6:13am


so Dave, 5ish? or earlier? Shooting twilight is kinda sketchy with the wind/waves IMHO, and I'd bet it's going to be raining so I'm not too anxious about being super early...

Accessing our usual spots might be tricky in the morning. In addition to Sachuest, Beavertail is also closed until at least 10am tomorrow. I would assume Camp Cronin & all other state owned spots will also be closed and blocked off. I wouldn't be surprised if the Town of Narragansett tries to limit access to Hazard, Newton, the seawall, etc. Should be fun driving around trying to find good vantage points anyway though.

I can't wait to see you guy's pics!

then hazard/newton it is. The good news is at 5am they probably won't have as many people out enforcing anything. The parts all have gates though which will be closed I'm sure. When you go down to PJ to watch the surf this is where you park:

last year that lot was PACKED by 7am but we could park in the grass where it says ocean rd... Cronin had it's gate closed though.

But that storm WASN'T a hurricane and wasn't really close. The next week (when you and I shot Hazard Brian) it WAS a hurricane but again, wasn't close to us... So in both cases there was limited news coverage. I'm sure there will be more issues this week with the storm being closer AND more news coverage. Should be fun.

Got this from ABC6.com

Road closures reported by area police departments:

* Narragansett - Police have not closed Ocean Road but discourage people from visiting the seawall to see the surf. Both ends of Hazard Road will be closed from 4pm Friday to 8am Saturday in anticipation of flooding.

that's such BS... Hazard.... flooding...?

sounds like we're stuck going to Newton. Maybe we can park and walk to Hazard from ocean? Not sure what the parking situation is. We'll have to see in the morning.

plus, "both ends"?

bass rock might also be good, so might black point?

3~4 am or something like that? BEFORE sunrise for sure.

I think abc6 mixed the Narr & Newport closings up, from projo:

Newport road closed to traffic until Saturday morning

NEWPORT, R.I. -- In anticipation of heavy rain from Hurricane Earl, both ends of Hazard Road in Newport will closed to traffic from 4 p.m. Friday until 8 a.m. Saturday, in anticipation of flooding across the road, city officials just announced.

hell Dave, I'd bet you could run there...

so looks like i won't be joining you guys tomorrow. got a guy coming pretty early to look at the car. selling it takes precedence, sadly.

be safe and have fun.

I knew I should've set the alarm. Nooooo, I'll wake up in time.....

I was actually pretty good this AM, sorry you guys didn't make it... I got wet up to my knee in the first 5 minutes and up to my waist after about a half hour, but I only got a filter or two wet and my tripod so I'm cool with that. The surfers were having a blast down at PJ as well but we got there early enough to find a spot in that lot. I filled a 16gb card though!

Any interest in tomorrow morning??

so who's in tomorrow morning?

Tim Dave and I are coming from my house. The Jamie and Dan are coming from Boston? Anyone else making it?

we're going to Sachuest for sure:

you can see the places we shoot there (and parking). Where do you guys want to shoot?
this is from #1 (the top spot): http://benjacobsenphoto.com/2010/sca...uest-8-7-2010/
this is from #2 (the middle spot): http://benjacobsenphoto.com/2010/sca...est-8-22-2010/
this is from #3 (the bottom spot): http://benjacobsenphoto.com/2009/scapes/sachuest-vi/

First Light: 5:54am - Sunrise: 6:20am
with sunrise at 6:20, we'll be aiming to get there between 5 and 5:20. The first light time is always wrong so ignore that...

I'll be there.

I'll be there, but gotta leave to be home by 8am, so my wife can leave, go to work, and get home, so we can make "T-Giving"

My vote is for the middle or southern end.

Nice to meet all of you this morning, sorry my attitude was for ****, it is the Navy part of me...I promise to be better at Ben's.

What'd you do? Cuss like a sailor or something?

Yeah, just pretty much the same kind of morning I had the morning I met you. Crappy light, couldn't find the group, because I guess I missed timed when I needed to be there, and in the way fishermen. So...see y'all later!

Ah, you were alright. We didn't notice your attitude over the bad language and bitching out the fishermen at all



We have cold beer waiting for your attitude adjustment seminar! . See ya soon!

I hope some of you got this mornings epic sunrise.

+1 WTF

Ben, I have a short video of it on my Facebook wall... just a small bit as I was going back down 495....

--kC

I was able to get some shots of it.

Rocks and fresh water and sunrise=Epic

anyone else shooting tomorrow? Surf should be great through Mon/Tue FYI. I'm thinking somewhere in Narragansett for sunrise then PJ for a bit, but I'll have to leave early for the boatshow...

Sunday is looking better, partly cloudy in the AM. A buddy of mine just got a 50D, so I may take him down to Hazard or Newton on Sunday AM, but given my flake factor, don't plan around me. I'll try to get him to sign up here as well.

http://www.weather.com/weather/hourb...Day=260#hhView

partly cloudy from now until 6am Saturday.
Clear from 6am saturday through 3am Sunday
partly cloudy sunday 3am to 6am
clear after that...

I'd bet we have the same chance of clouds each day?

Hazard again?
Newton?
Bass?
Black?
PJ for the sunrise too?
Camp Cronin?

How about Newton? I've never shot there.

Newton it is. It'll be interesting to see what it's like with some nice waves.

Sunrise looked good on my way in...to duty... I would have been there otherwise. And I can't tomorrow, as I will be coming off duty, and won't be out in time.

good but not great, a bit and yes. The surf should be best today actually?

I went Castle Rock in Marblehead this morning. I'll post up when I get home.

test...trying to find something to complain about for vB 4.0.7

nevermind I guess it didn't do it.

So where to this weekend and when? Who's coming?

Sachuest before my triathlon!

what are the times with your race? IE will we be able to get in and out w/o any issues and will it be too early for you?

The transition area opens at 6:15 and my wave goes off at 7:33. Sunrise is at 6:35 so it might be tight but the race is right there. Getting in & out shouldn't be too bad. On one hand it might be stupid to try for the sunset and make everything super rushed for myself. On the other hand I'll be up anyway and instead of standing around in the transition area getting nervous I could be doing something. I'm 50/50 about shooting before the race.

I'm just worried they might restrict access to those of us who aren't racing?
