Arcadia National Park, Maine - DG Shootout '09

Dixie

Here are a few of the ones that I have processed so far. I'm still not home yet. I'm laying up in the Smokies hoping for the weather to break so I can get one good shot at the colors - not as nice as Maine, but still nice.

Comments and suggestions are always welcomed.

Click on each image for the EXIF data for that image (keep in mind that I keep my time on either CDT or CST so take that into consideration when checking the time the shot was taken).

Another go at Bass Harbor Head Light:



Shots taken in the wee hours of the morning at Bernard/Bass Harbor:





Waves and rocks near Thunder Hole (long times using ND filters)(some are not going to like the feathered look, but that is what I was going for - I wanted the scene to look surreal - I also did other shots at normal exposures up to 2-3 seconds as well, but these were the ones I liked):





Bubble Pond in the afternoon:



This is a rock formation which is normally behind the photographer when shooting from the rocks up at the Bass Harbor Head Light:



You can always check out my latest efforts at my New Photo Gallery.

Thank you for taking the time to look.

Always a pleasure to see you Dixie! This version of the Bass Harbor Light is perfect! The glow on the rocks in the last is also wonderful.


I haven't even started looking at mine - nothing grabbed me and said 'process me NOW!'. Hope to see you next year.

Hi Dixie,
Another nice pic series !!!!
I like the second rock scene at Thunder Hole the best.

JatZilla

Very nice pix

Loper

Very nice pictures! It was greet meeting you! Thank you for the help with my camera, getting the cable switch for me, and letting me wear your MOOSE hat!

Halite

Great meeting you! Nice pix. Love the skewed boats. The lighthouse picture is elegant, but I'd probably want to lose the fence post.

Dixie

Thanks to all for commenting. My apologies for taking so long to acknowledge them.

Halite - you're right about the fence post.

Loper - you looked great as a moose.

Great shot of Bass Harbor Light, Dixie. Also love the 2nd Thunder Hole shot.

Was fun meeting you at the shootout. Hope to see you again.

Great photos Dixie. It was great meeting you. I really like the lighthouse photo.

Snowgirl

Agree with Dan - some wonderful shots!

Had a look at your "new photos" gallery as well - your bear shots are excellent! (as are the rest, of course).

Nice meeting you.

Thank you for the kind comments. I do love those bears. Never get enough of shooting them. Thanks again.

Thanks, Dan. I loved your shootout submissions - especially the one on Cadillac Mountain looking down fence on the left and the isolated ponds on top of the mountain.
