While most of the east coast was getting pummeled with ice and snow overnight, here in my corner of New England, we saw drenching rains and high winds. That brought some high seas and pounding surf on the coast, so my friend Steven Perlmutter and I drove to Plum Island to check it out. We were not disappointed.

We spent a good hour walking the beach with long lenses trying to catch the perfect wave. I did wish I had a longer lens, but I managed to walk away with a few images I liked.

While going through the images, I thought a panorama crop might work for some of them — black and white panorama, I thought would work best. So here is the first of a short series.

Enjoy!
