This location faces Frenchman Bay and the open Atlantic, and as you can see from the shape of the jagged shoreline, the ocean has definitely left its mark over time. High tide on this particular icy day was scheduled to coincide with sunset, so I was hopeful I might see (and photograph) some big waves in good light. Neither the big waves nor the good light really materialized, but I didn’t mind. I always enjoy time spent in Acadia National Park, and on this occasion, an exposure of 39 seconds helped smooth out both the ocean and the sky to create for me what is a very soothing image.
Stunning landscape… great perspective and capture 🙂
Thanks. It’s a neat place to spend some time.
Yeah, I can imagine that.. So tranquil…
Schoodic is always the quieter part of Acadia National Park, but on a day like this in the winter, it can be totally deserted.
Oww… So, is this from summer ?
No… sorry if I confused you. See that line of ice just above the water line? This was made two days ago, and it’s definitely winter around here!
Oh, sorry, I was confused when you said deserted… My mistake…
Love the colours in this one…
Thanks… the longer exposure really made the colors pop.
Exquisite. I love the way the line of ice draws one’s eye along the curve of rock. And that deep color of the bay…
Thanks. Yeah… I was hoping for more snow in the scene, but I loved that line of ice along the tide line.
Magnificent photo! And thanks for the tip about the 39 seconds and all… I should try longer exposures more often! Absolutely breath taking!
Thanks. It’s fun to experiment once in a while, and I like how the longer exposure impacts the scene.
Awesome landscape as always David!
Thanks Sonya… much appreciated.
This is wonderful! And I think the smooth ocean makes it somehow magical. I love the colours!
Thanks. I love the combination of the cool green water and the warm rocks… that line of ice is pretty neat too.
very 🙂
Thanks… can still hear the waves and the wind 🙂
Just found this blog of yours. Looking forward to viewing more beautiful landscape shots 🙂
