Photographer's Note
This picture of Portland Head Light House marks the end of our one week trip to New England Area at the end of day. We rented a car and drove through Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. We have been charmed by the Vermont small towns and villages and the wonderful nature and fall colors of the New Hampshire, and the peaks of Mt Washington. We have been awed by the beauty and majesty of the Acadia National Park and the coastline of Maine. It is a little sad to finally end the trip. This was our last stop and we almost missed it. We wanted to get here before sunset, but on the way, we had to cross a bridge over the bay, but we were block for about 15 minutes. The bridge was raised to allow a large cargo freight to go through under the bridge. See picture in the CI. But we were lucky enough to get in and have a few shots before the ranger come and tell us to leave that the park was close at sunset. We drove from here back to Boston and flew back to LA the next morning and back to work the same day.
LV can be viewed in beta version.

Hi Way
The way you have composed this is beautiful, the lighthouse stands proud surround by silk, and the colors in the sky almost look like they are the light emanating from it's peak. There is a very soft appeal to this image, I think because of the effect you created on the water and the colors. Really nicely done, the lighthouse and it's striking color stands out great against the pastels.
Cheers

Hello Way,
This is a very beautiful image. I have travelled this coastline in the days of film photography so should really go back. I am drawn into this photo by the subtle colours in the sky with its hints of pinks and various blue shades. This is a perfectly constructed composition with the lighthouse and FG rocks all carefully positioned. Sharpness, exposure etc. all delightful.
Kind Regards, Ann

Hello Way,
The pink cloud is a beauty and everything else here is also very pretty.Maybe you arrived here not at the last moment but at the right moment. At least it was a trip worth the time and effort. In every way a first class photo, as always. I wish you would post more frequently.
Kind regards,

Hi Way,a lucky "last second" before the ranger tell you to live...and the spectacle is absolutely fantastic,the colors in the sky and the silk effect on the water made by the long time of exposure are truly greats! Another beautiful shot full of atmosphere in your top class gallery,i like it! Have a nice evening and thanks,Luciano

Hello Way,
you made the most of the special features of this coast, its colours at this short hour of the day and its atmosphere. There's a wonderful arrangement in the frame, all the proportions are well considered and effective. The gentle manifestations of the light through the colours are particularly attractive. Great clarity and a 3D effect make our experience of this fine scenery so vivid. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great day,
Ourania

Hi Way,
I see the explorer of unforgettable and hard to reach places found new horizons in New England!
Beautiful rocky shoreline with classic style lighthouse. I'm sure this blue hour version is better than what you could have captured before sunset. Excellent composition, but the horizon leans slightly to right.

A beautiful composition as the eye is naturally attracted to areas of high contrast which in this case, means the lighthouse. You have retained a lot of foreground detail which complements nicely leading the eye into the scene and your exposure control is second to none captured at a magical time of day colour wise and for light. An image of outstanding beauty! Very good photo work, Top notch, Congrats
My best wishes for 2015.

Hi Way
Nice to see you work again, after a shot break! Welcome back. :)
Like all your landscape work, this image is amazingly beautiful and masterfully executed. The colours and light are marvellous and the water nicely blurred by long exposure.
Well done on sneaking the photo before you were asked to leave! :)
Best wishes and Happy New Year to you!

Hello Way,
spectacular the view as the presentation of Portland Head light house this hour of the evening with the colour tints of the sky to make the image even more attractive.
The last light of the day falling on the upper sections of the constructions enhance their beauty as their details too.Well done.

Hello Way
A refined and superior seascape. It's clear that you think very carefully about your photographs, which is increasingly rare in these days of auto-everything, point-and-shoot, chuck it away if it's no good (or worse, keep it anyway, and post it on TE!) I'll bet you walked around here looking for the perfect spot, waited for the light to fade to something subtle and interesting, used a tripod, and framed precisely. Apart from the rather extravagent frame, I wonder if you needed to do anything to the image in Photoshop...
Regards
Will

Hello Way
A stunning seascape with the lighthouse well positioned on the 1/3 axis at left. I like the dash of pink magenta and the red roofs of the buildings at left contrasting against the blue sea and sky. The motion blurred water from the time exposure has given a smooth silky texture. A perfect exposure on the bright highlights. Tfs!

Hi Way,
It's a classical lighthouse in New England. We have been there. And will definitely go back to see more of this region.
Your picture brought some excitement to TE.
It's not too late to say Happy New Year!

Hi Way,
wow this is spectacular. I like very much lighthouses, especially photographed at blue hour, I think I have more than one in my collection, from the time when I was more adventurous -now with the family I always feel bad leaving them alone.
Beautiful composition with the lighthouse in the perfect 1:3 position. Nice rocks make a pleasant foreground. The sky is so pretty too with the touches of pink in the clouds. It has an extraordinary mood.
Perfect photo as usually from you.
Have a great weekend,
M

The 15 sec exposure lends a silken touch to the water.
This lighthouse has been photographed well and I have seen many a picture before, but this ranks amongst the top ones.
Tye long exposure milks the light from the sky including the faint reddish tinge.
Beautiful!

Hello Way,
Beautiful image.
I discovered 2 of your images from Trekearth located on an Air France Travelogue titled, The Traveliest. Along with yours, there were 4 other photographers from TE that had their images stolen. I contacted Air France this week and am waiting for a response from Paris regarding their theft of my copyrighted image, not only from TE but from my book that has the image copyrighted within its covers. If you want the link to the Traveliest write to me at: [email protected]
Miss seeing your images, what is the name of the other photo site we are on? I had to wipe out my computer and lost all my contacts, still finding out old ones to replace.
Thanks,
Steve Warnstaff
