Acadia National Park, Maine
The Maine coastline has always had a magical presence for me. For over a week I explored the vast coastline of the Acadia National Park to find a location that spoke to me. Once I had found that spot, every morning for a week, before the sun drenched the coastline, I had been greeted by bland, colorless skylines. However, my persistence and patience paid off. I wanted to shoot this image in twilight, to give the image a nice warm feel.
I carefully composed the shot, using a vertical angle to give the shot dimension and strength. Fifteen minutes prior to sunrise, the soft light was perfect. I worked quickly and exposed a roll of four shots. The round boulders and stunning clouds gave this image a nice warm gentle feeling. Minutes later the sun rose, and it was just another normal day. I feel like I can walk into the shot and touch the shores of the Atlantic Ocean.
