Maine Lighthouse Tour with Kirk Williamson and Bill Fortney

by

All I can say is wow! The light, the locations and the people were absolutely fabulous! My co-leader Bill Fortney drove up from Kentucky and helped me lead a merry band of photographers along the coast of Maine from Kittery to Owls Head! Here are some of the images that I made along the way.

Bill and I along with one of our participants checked out Nubble Light early on Tuesday before the tour began. 6 stop dark cpl slowed the water at 1/5s. B&W conversion in Silver Efex Pro.
During the tour we went back to Nubble near golden hour and a puddle on the rocks gave our group this wonderful reflection of the lighthouse.
Whaleback light off the coast of Kittery taken from Great Common in New Castle New Hampshire. What a treat to have a guy on the bow trying to get the roller furler working as a wave was breaking at the lighthouse. Fuji X-T3 with 70-300 and 1.4 x TC.
Portland Head Light and Ram Island Light line up at sunrise with a seagull flying through the frame. Fuji X-T3 with 70-300.
Pemaquid Light is always special but the images look the same after awhile. I have made this shot before and I’m not sure I like the deep shadow on the right.

 

The Bailey’s Island lobster shack is iconic. You can almost never make a bad shot of it. fuji X-T3 with XF 16-80.

Interesting Maritime Americana at the Hotel Pemaquid.

 

Owls’s Head with the rain about to start. I love this tree.
The daisy’s were in bloom on a rainy day at Marshall Point Light.
A gaggle of lobster buoy’s create an interesting reflection.

 

Bill Fortney gives the lighthouse tour a thumbs up.
