My two best "silouette" shots (above) were shot this morning! What an amazing experience to beat the sun up, drive my frozen suburban two miles to the water's edge, witness a lobsterman row out in his boat to the lobster boat you see here on the left, and all of this would mislead some that the great Nor'easter storm due in today is actually cancelled! Witnessing the sunrise is magical and has given me an incredible burst of energy to take with me through the rest of the day. I must do this again real soon!
This shot is of the Pemaquid Lighthouse just about an hour from us. We went there last night in hopes to catch the sunset for a silouette shot I needed. It didn't pan out. And hour after this shot was taken the sun began to set and the thick cloud cover took over and killed the deal for me. Bummer. In any case, I got this shot while waiting for my silouette. I really liked stumbling around and looking down for a nice and interesting perspective in an otherwise overshot seen. This tidal pool worked perfectly in casting the lighthouse reflection. I used my circular polarizer here for the very first time! Wow, the color enhancement.
This is Springtime in Maine this year. Our house sits blanketed in snow this weekday morning. I hobbled out with my broken foot to our neighbor's field to capture the enormous maple tree that guards our house. Isn't it amazing how large these trees are. Likely 150 years old. One must get outside and shoot the fresh snow while snowing or soon thereafter. This shot was taken around 7am and by 9am the branches were bare of snow. Melting had taken over.
