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.

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.
