Hope you will indulge me long enough for one last set of Maine coast images.
The first two are from dawn at Pemaquid Point. Pemaquid is a very popular spot, so during the day it can be tough to shoot around all the people. At 5:00 a.m., it is a lot less crowded, although this day there are a surprising number there who got up early. Not as relaxing as some other dawns that I've spent there.
The last two are from the Marshall Point light, although these are sunset shots. The tide cooperated by being low and providing the opportunity to shoot the wide-angle perspective in the last shot.
Hope you don't have "Maine fatigue" from my early posts.
Always appreciate all comments and suggestions, likes and dislikes, etc.
1. Pemaquid Point just before the direct light started hitting the rocks.
2. Similar view, but just a few minutes later when the sun was fully above the horizon and the golden light warmed up the lighthouse and rocks.
3. Marshall Point light, sun setting across the channel leading into Port Clyde.
4. The "other side" of the light, taking advantage of a 14mm lens view at low tide.
Very nice set, Dave. I like #4 as well. It gives the overall view of how the buildings look together. You also have nice light on the FG and a great sky. This is one of the times where the horizon line in the middle works quite well. Nicely done.
Love them all, but then you know that I'm biased toward this part of the world. Especially like the wide look of #4 at Marshall Point, and those skies are to die for. In the Pemaquid photographs I like the higher perspective of the second where it shows more of the lighthouse, but I like the earlier light and wider effect in the first. Seriously nice work
Not good with numbers am I so edited to give you full credit for the earlier than I originally noticed start
#1 really provides a great angle! #3 is what I can only describe as "classically correct" the entire composition is spot on. I'd like to think that some sunset lighting up all that white paint would make for a golden shot... pun intended
Hi Dave,
Never tire of images from this area, keep them coming. This is a nice set with the last one being my favorite. Love the perspective and sky. I have not visited Marshall Point before but will need to get there.

Thanks for your comments, David. I know that you are very familiar with these locations, so I especially appreciate your good words. Sometimes you feel like there's no way to take a new picture around these icons, but then you get there and the sky is different, the light is different, etc. A fun challenge.

Scott: Marshall Point is worth a visit. Sunset is a good time for the light, although you can get caught in the evening fog sometimes, even if it is not foggy inland. Not a big light, but it's a nice spot to work for a change of pace.
