It has been a while since I was out with the camera. These photographs are from a wonderfully calm evening spent at Marshall Point Lighthouse in late August. That’s almost six weeks since I tripped the shutter : (
The New England fall foliage season is in full swing around these parts, but it doesn’t look promising for me to be able to get out to make any photographs. This will be a busy week with work and with soccer season winding down, but you never know, maybe I’ll be able to steal away for a few hours later in the week.
In the meantime, here are a few black and white renditions of what is a particularly striking lighthouse on the Maine coast. This is the lighthouse that Forrest Gump ran to and ran to and ran to in the movie as he traversed back and forth across the country. It is a unique structure, one that just begs to be photographed.

Okay for a guy who doesn’t like black and white very much, these are quite awesome.
Thanks Stephen… much appreciated.

Thanks Benoit.
These are amazing pics! Great choice for black and white!
Thanks. Yeah… any time you get that silvery blue twilight sky it can look amazing in black and white.
Really nice in B&W David. 🙂
Richert… thanks for the kind words.
These photos works well in black and white. My favorites are the second and third where the flow of water is captured in the foreground.
Thanks for the comment Truels… I too like the “movement” captured in the water in the photographs you mentioned.
I think the angles that you took each of the above pictures are really unique. I particularly like the first and the last shots.
Thanks Jack. I must have spent a couple of hours wandering around this wonderful scene checking out the possibilities… appreciate the feedback.
Wonderful images, David. The stone in foreground of that last one is stunning.
I hope you manage to get out shooting soon!
Thanks Karen… as soon as I saw that rocky foreground in the last photograph I knew it was going to end up as a black and white. Fingers crossed I’ll get out this weekend.
I too like the angle on the last one! And I hope you do get out this week-end. Weather forecast for Saturday is looking good.
Weekend half over and still not out 😦
Beautiful, one of my favorite lighthouses!
Mine too Carol… it’s so unique.
Beautiful David, so beautiful…
Thank you!
One of my favorite lighthouses is Marshall Point and you have captured it ….thank you sharing your gift with the rest of us. It is inspiring and makes me what to go shoot some pictures. Kat
Thanks Kat. Marshall Point is one of my favorite lighthouses too.
