Today’s post is another in my series on New England lighthouses. Located at the tip of the Pemaquid Peninsula, the lighthouse sits above the Atlantic Ocean as a beacon to passing ships. This is the same lighthouse whose reflection I posted a few weeks ago. This image was taken the night before as part of my scouting out the location.
I wasn’t planning to shoot any photos as it rained pretty much the whole 5-hour trip from CT and the wind was blowing pretty hard. My main goal was to pick some vantage points for the next morning’s shoot. As I looked around for a way to climb down the slippery rocks, the stormy skies began to lighten. I decided to grab my tripod from the car and finally found a relatively easy way to climb down. As I began to compose the scene, a break in the clouds on the horizon added some great contrasts to the sky. I am always surprised that some of my favorite images come when I least expect them.
I’m really enjoying these lighthouse and seascape images Len, you’re processing them beautifully! I really like how you’ve framed the lines in the rocky shoreline here to lead the viewer through the shot.
Beautiful composition and processing Len. Pemaquid is one of my favorite lighthouses.
Pemaquid Point is a great spot and now seeing this I have to go back. Wonderful composition Len.
Lighthouses make such great subjects in photos dont they? This is beautifully shot Len.
Len this could easily be hanging on any way in any house anywhere! What an incredible shot, that sky is perfect
Fantastic scene, Len! Those are some amazing clouds and textures on the rocks!
I do so love lighthouses, and this is a great capture of one. I really like the framing you picked for this!
Amazing sky! Wow.
that’s just cool, great shot Len!
Nicely done. Great textures. I really like your composition here.
Awesome shot, Len. I really like how the sky and rocks seem to flow in the same direction.
My first impression before reading any of the comments was the same as Jimi’s…how the striations in the rocks are mirrored by the wind blown clouds! Fabulous image Len!
Wow Len this is an amazing shot! I just love the detail.
Whoaw. I need a crane to pick my jaw up off the floor here, Len, WONDERFUL image my friend!!
