Another Lighthouse

I don't get to locations that have lighthouses very often, but when I do, I always try to make a photograph or two.  Here's another, the Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse on the rocky coast of Maine.

Bass Harbor Head Light

I'll share more photos of lighthouses in the future.  And for more photos, visit my web site.

Portland Head Light

Lighthouses are a favorite subject for many photographers, and I am no exception.  This one--taken in the dwindling light after sunset--is of Portland Head Light, outside of Portland, Maine. 

I was fortunate to capture not only the color of the dying day but also a bright moon centered over the lighthouse. 

Here's another view of the same lighthouse, this time taken from the opposite direction and during daylight hours.

I especially like the curving shoreline as it leads the eye into the central focus of the picture, the lighthouse itself.

To see other photos of mine--and perhaps to purchase copies that are ready for framing--visit my website.

A Walk in Nature

As I was walking (with camera and tripod, of course) down a lonely dirt road near Moosehead Lake, Maine, I spotted this grouping of ferns.  What caught my eye was the yellow fern at the center of the grouping, which created a good point of interest for a photo.  I don't recall the details of this particular shot, but I'm pleased with the richness of the colors in the final print.  Like many of my other photos, this one is available for framing from my web store.

Like many of you, I love to make discoveries such as this while I'm out walking and for that reason, I always have a camera with me.  Who knows what exciting image you'll find?

Moon Shot

On a recent trip to Moosehead Lake, near Greenville, Maine, I was able to make the following shot during the early morning hours.  The sun was not yet up, the water was still, and the moon was high over Burnt Jacket Mountain as it prepared to set.  The photo illustrates the peacefulness of the morning as the sky above the mountain began to gain color.

The first photo in the Moosehead Lake Collection

I decided to publish a collection of these photos from Moosehead Lake and make them available for sale on the web.  This is the first of those photos.  They'll be available as 8 1/2 X 11 inch prints on archival quality paper, ready to frame and hang.  The whole collection can be seen on my website, http://www.positives.biz.

To these first photos, I will be adding other collections as time permits:

• Landscapes
• Rural scenes
• Wildlife
• Infrared photos
• Art prints

If you find these images as interesting and beautiful as I do, I hope you'll let me know.  Leave a comment here, or write me at cobblermtnpress@gmail.com.
