The forecast kept changing all week but I lucked out with mostly clear skies this night, although there was a low haze that did hang around. Before venturing into the dark with my camera, I checked my weather app for the umpteenth time and noticed a new alert: “Coastal flood warning. Onshore winds and tides higher than normal.” They weren’t kidding! Waves were slamming against the shoreline and a tall, stony outcrop I had scouted the day before was nearly under water. It’s always an adventure pulling off these night shots.
