Then there was the last rays of light of the day. The light is so gorgeous there really is no bad photograph to be had. But…

But bringing in the romance of the port comes from going beyond the basic rosey warm light and finding the small little pockets of light. Where you find those little beams kissing only the tip of a bow of little of a mast, this permits the water to go darker and the quietness of the location crepe in and eventually, grab your viewer.

It’s so easy, walk, look and click. When you’re in ME in Fall at least.

Yeah…the sun kept coming and it was gorgeous. As Joe would say, “Just put yourself in front of something interesting.”

Bless the mornings! yeap, DLWS ME ’10 rolled out late at 05:45 but were in place at Wolf Neck Park (a gorgeous place!) for sunrise. There were to tacks to working the opportunities at Wolf Neck, the waterfront or the forest. You can see where I wondered, to the trees. I positioned myself in a place where I thought by sunrise would be a good location. I lucked out, the sun rose, it came through the trees and light made the image. It was a great start to a great day!

Yeap, running up the rocks and over the top I got in position just as the clouds were blowing a part. By changing my angle to the Pemaquid Lighthouse, I not only incorporated the clouds with the lighthouse, but more importantly the drama they bring to the lighthouse. But what new problem did I create for myself in making the move?

The lighthouse is no longer frontlit but sidelit. That change now makes the clouds on the left side of the frame brighter then those on the right. You can see above the loss of detail in the top left corner. How’d I get it back? Using a .09 Lee Split Grad (very hard to find, contact Jeff if you want one) angled so the dark portion was in the top left corner and the clear on the bottom right. Last big challenge? Shooting the lighthouse so it looked right made the horizon line really slant. I went with putting the horizon line correct, looks like the lighthouse is falling over. Even tried a PC-E lens, no help. Oh well, that’s how it goes sometimes. But this is not the finished image. This is just the out of the camera version. Stay Tuned.

See them up there? They have an angle, a density, a drama about them. The problem, that doesn’t come out in this photograph. How come? What needs to be done to make that happen? Stay tuned for the answer and final click.
