Painterly Pemaquid - a photo on Flickriver

Painterly Pemaquid

            Bent, twisted and broken, the rock layers still line up like brushstrokes in the day's first light on a calm and cloudless morning by the sea at Pemaquid Point, Maine. 

My wife and I took a break a week or so ago and headed up to the beautiful Maine coast for a few days.  Lobster, microbrews and walks in the autumn woods were more our focus this trip than photography, but I still headed out before dawn a few times with the camera.  Maine's coastal regions are absolutely stunning to my eye, with the fall colors of its hardwood forests in places (though not in this scene) reaching all the way to wonderful rocky shores. 

Like everyone else, when I have a chance to get out for some photography, I can't help but wish for just the right amount and position of clouds in the sky--sort of the Goldilocks approach to clouds--but "just right" clouds were not to be on this trip.  The weather was beautiful in every way for enjoying the autumn outdoors, but it seemed the clouds disappeared entirely (or in one case socked in completely) almost every time I planned to break out the camera.  More incentive to go back! 

This is a one minute exposure using a Singh-Ray 10-stop ND filter.  And for those who may wonder, there is no special post-processing done to the rocks or the wonderful light catching on the intermittent finer ridges and larger faces of the rocks in this scene.  

Thanks for viewing!
