… and a Happy New Year!

This is a quick flashback to my last shoot. While concentrating on Maine lighthouses, it would have been rude not to visit the East Quoddy (or Head Harbour) Lighthouse, across the border in Canada.

At low tide, you can reach the lighthouse, though watch out for the treacherously slippery seaweed!

All the best for 2010!

Lighthouses IVb

As predicted, I couldn’t resist adding another Pemaquid Lighthouse image… I just love this place!

Lighthouses IV

This is the incomparable Pemaquid Point Lighthouse. I could, and perhaps should, have spent the entire shoot here!

Amazing location, rock structure and sunrises combine to make this a fantastic subject.

I may have to upload Lighthouses IVa, IVb and IVc, so you can see more of this fantastic place!

Lighthouses III

Doubling Point Light was the third that I managed to catch in between the torrential rain showers. Often, after an unpromising day, a beautiful sunset rewards the patient.

This lighthouse really is as delightful as it looks. Living in the lighthouse keepers’ house must have made for wonderful sunset viewing… as long as you’re prepared for the bighting insects! Bring some bug-spray if you want to view this one!

Lighthouses II

Second port of call, so to speak… Portland Head Light.

This was the one break in the cloud that day, just after sunrise. Chilly, but definitely worth the pre-dawn start.

Lighthouses I

I’ve just returned from a manic trip up the Maine coast, a contrast to the tranquil scenes I was aiming to shoot.

Images of the other 7 lighthouses to follow as editing progresses.

Enjoy!

Leaves and Lighthouses!

Just to let you know I’m planning another Fall shoot in New England, this time mainly in… ummmm… Maine.

As well as leaves, there’ll also be lighthouses. Given good weather, I might even manage to cross the border into Canada and shoot some Nova Scotia.

Please let me know if you have any picture requirements in these areas, so I can add them to my shoot lists.

Highlights from Fall in New England

The 2 weeks I spent shooting the Fall Foliage in New England was amazing… though it’s taken a little longer than that to get the results edited!
