Here is another old photo back from the east coast. This is the Annisquam light, located about an hour north of Boston, MA. The lighthouse is a private residence and its incredibly difficult to reach as there are no correct directions and adding to that this is located in a small New England fishing village which has very narrow roads and absolutely no parking.
I took this shot the second time I visited, there is a beach to the east of the lighthouse which is a playground for local children and it has a small rock formation on the beach with interesting texture and cracks. I had this spot in mind from my visit before and wanted to use the crack in the rock as leading line to the main subject.
Thanks for visiting, hope everybody enjoys the picture.
First shot of 2013, and really the first time I've left Boston for a photo since Thanksgiving. Man. I gotta find some time to shoot! Anyway, met up...

Have you ever got confused about whose backyard to choose for photographing a lighthouse. This is very much applicable for Annisquam Harbor Light...
Well, it's 2015. Wild.
The first sunset of this year turned out to be pretty decent. Yay. Not sure how many New England shoots I'll have in me in...
Sunless sunrise from Rafe's Chasm, Gloucester, Mass. Didn't get any good light, but I came home with a few comps I quite like.

This is the Annisquam Light which is located at Gloucester, MA. The last time I was here I didn't feel like I did justice to this beautiful location and I was a bit more prepared for this shot. As expected the sunset was beautiful and there were a lot more clouds in the sky than last time also a lot more mosquitoes and ticks.
I set this shot very fast as the sunset had already begun and used 2 Cokin ND grad filters as a makeshift reverse ND grad and also bracketed exposures. Bracketing was done to be on the safer side but the combination of both the methods worked like a dream and I would say this was closest to what my eyes were seeing. I am really glad I could retain the colors of the grass and get the foreground rocks correctly exposed. Seems Like I am getting the hang of this.
Also, I want to thank all those who commented and Favorited, you have no idea how much it encourages me to go out and get some more shots. Enjoy and have a great summer.
This is Annisquam Light, Gloucester, Massachusetts. Was a beautiful day yesterday, so after crashing for a three hour nap, I went to take a drive out...
In the summer, the sun will set to the left of the lighthouse, probably about halfway between it and the edge of this frame. From where I stood here,...
