Sometimes images come relatively easy, but I have been working really hard for every image I make during these last two weeks in Acadia. The fog has been thick and the rain a constant threat. I climbed to the 700 ft summit of Acadia Mountain yesterday, but only managed to burn a lots of calories and work up a big appetite for breakfast – no real visibility. Determined to find better conditions, I headed over to the Seawall area, and managed to find better conditions.
Seawall Sunrise
“Seawall Sunrise” was a challenge because of the high tide conditions, and again I worked hard to find a composition that I liked amongst the millions of rocks on the shore.
The following morning, I returned to the summit of Acadia mountain once again at 5AM and although conditions were again very foggy, I did find some better light at last – here are a few of the better images.

Next we head to the Schoodic Peninsula area for sunset…

Rocky Coast
In the seven days I’ve been in Maine so far, I’ve only had two days with sun during the “golden hours”. But I still enjoy working with what is available, and yesterday morning I headed out at 4:30 AM with hopes of a great sunrise only to find one of the thickest fogs I’ve seen blanketing the coast. In situations like this, I think more in terms of shapes and forms, and this is a good chance for a black and white photograph since there is so little color. I shot with a wide angle lens very close to the foreground so as to maximize contrast that quickly gets lost in the fog, but creates great separation between the rocks and trees.
Tomorrow I head for the mountains…

I’ve been off-line for the last few days while I enjoy a two week camping trip in Acadia National Park with my family. I had hoped to have an internet connection more frequently, but because of our camp location at the north end of the Somes Sound, there is no reliable wi-fi service. In the meantime, I’ll try to post images as frequently as I can, and I’ll provide some more details on the trip and my mobile set-up when I return.
It’s been raining for the last two days, and the weather forecast looks stormy for the next week, but I’m excited about the chance to capture some dramatic moments. See you in a few days…
