I calculated what time hight tide would be today and went back to the beach to photograph how different it looks from the really low tide of six days ago. But I didn't do it right. I would have to be standing in the water to get an exact match. I SHOULD have taken last Thursday's version of this photograph from the part of land that sticks out into the harbor, where that tree and bench are. That way both photographs viewpoint would be the same. But still, you can see the huge volume of water that it takes to fill up Hempstead Harbor to the high tide mark. As you can see, it takes a LOT of water! So here is today's photograph, and below is yesterday's photo so you can more easily compare them.
It's fascinating to observe the changes in Hempstead Harbor between high and low tides. Even though the angles of your photographs aren't an exact match, they still effectively highlight the dramatic difference in water levels. Your attention to detail and commitment to capturing these tidal changes is impressive.
