Hello all my name is Pete and I am a new grinner. this is my first post and I hope it works well. I thought I would share a couple of photos of Tropical Storm Hana. the storm hit my home of Bar Harbor Maine at knight but I shot the area as it approached and also as the storm broke the next day...
enjoy.

The view of the approach from Bar Harbor.


The next morning at Monument Cove in Acadia National Park...


Thunder Hole in its prime... Gotta get the tides just right or this location is very dissapoining.

I hope you all like my pictures you can see more at guideseyephotogallery.com feedback would be appreciated as this website thing is pretty new to me. Thanks

Hi Pete and Welcome!

I like all 3 of your photos here. I do wish there were a couple gaps in the clouds on the first 2, but #3... WOW!! Awesome shot!!

Hi Pete

I am a newbie here as well - but they don't bite and they seem to be nice people

Great pictures. ( Bit off putting the heavy Watermark tho..)

Wow, the third photo is really impressive! You nailed the right moment. And of course, welcome! Great introduction the dgrin, but I would reduce the watermarking and move it to the corner of the photo as it really does spoil the viewing pleasure.

I agree with the last comment--you might move the watermark, or at least fade it some more. it is distracting. I do like the shots, especially Thunder Hole. You are right on about the timing--I was there in August and took some shots but they look like tiny splashes compared to yours. Nice capture!

Very nice captures I have to agree the watermark somewhat ruins it for me I want to quickly pass over the shots.

Welcome!
Great shot of Thunder Hole. I went camping in Acadia last summer and totally missed the Thunder Hole timing. But then, there are so many photo great places to shoot up there, as I'm sure you know!

Keep posting!

Welcome do Dgrin, Pete. Very cool shots. Fix the obnoxious watermarking and they'll be GREAT.

Thank you all for your kind comments.:D I agree with the watermarking comments and have chaned the watermark that I use, I aso included the next shot in the series so you can know the rest of the story. You may have noticed the people in the fram of the thunder hole shot. On a primetime day at that location it is almost impossible to get a shot without people in it. Here is the rest of the story of that wave...

This is my friends 4yo daughter's favorite pics, as well as one of mine. Every time I go there on a day like that somebody has to clime out on that rock for a cold salty shower! This location is tough to get with the right conditions, many variables have to come together just right. First of all to shoot at the coast of Acadia you have to know the tides, e.g. Thunder Hole is best on an incoming tide about one-half to three-quarters up, with the swell just right out of the SE to S, and of course the right lighting. I am still trying to get just the right conditions. Thanks again and enjoy.

Welcome to dgrin! I really love the colors in #2 but #3 leaves me absolutely speechless. Ya done real well! thumb

The excitement and power in this shot is unbelievable! It doesn't look like there is any place to stand there were you wouldn't get soaked.

Looks much better with the watermark resited.

Looks like the sort of place you can re-visit to capture a wide variety of photos!

#3 superb, watermark ruins shots though.
