Behind the Photography Image: Asticou Azalea Garden in Northeast Harbor, Maine

http://juergen-roth.artistwebsites.com/art/all/all/all/acadia+national+park

On my latest photo tour to Acadia National Park I passed by Asticou Azalea Garden in Northeast Harbor, Maine on my way back home from an amazing sunrise photography shoot. The sun was still low and painting the flowering azaleas in beautiful first light and hues. Recognizing an opportunity I immediately stopped to set up and capture this beautiful garden with its spring flowers in full bloom. Calm waters made for a great reflection of the clouds in the sky. Early morning is one of my favorite times as I also don't have to worry about crowds walking into the frame; indeed I had this relaxing oasis all for myself.  

Equipped with a graduate neutral density filter I was able to balance the contrast between the darker foregrounds and the brighter sky and provide a bit more punch.

An aperture at f/22 provided a 1/2 second exposure time at ISO100. During my routine post processing workflow I removed dust spots, minimally adjusted lighting, color saturation and contrast before sharpening the final image of "Asticou Azalea Garden".

Photo Tip of the Week

Work the location: Rarely do we photographers capture our vision with one snap of the shutter. For best photography image results, experiment with different lenses, angles and perspectives, exposure settings such as the aperture to control Depth of Field, filters, lighting at different times of the day to only name a few.

New Acadia National Park Fine Art Photography

On my latest photo adventure trip to Maine Acadia National Park I was rewarded with exceptional light at sunrise and sunset. In addition I was able to find new and exiting photo locations throughout this National Park and I can't wait to go back. Hope you enjoy a virtual trip through my lens to this iconic national park in the northeast of the United States of America and this small selection of Acadia Magic!

Sunrise Photography at Maine Acadia National Park

http://juergen-roth.artistwebsites.com/art/all/all/all/acadia+national+park

On my recent trip to Acadia National Park I scouted a new area and was surprised to find an incredible overlook and area that I have never seen up close. I remember driving along the park loop road in Acadia wondering how to get to the area but never expected to actually find access. Well, I was wrong and after scouting out the photographic potential one afternoon, I went back the very next morning at sunrise to pursue some long exposure photography images. I was rewarded with spectacular views and pristine light. In one of the first images I used evergreen trees as silhouettes and size clues in front of the picturesque New England seacoast scenery. The sun was peeking through the clouds illuminating the trees and painting the coastal scene in beautiful hues and colors. A grad neutral density filter allowed to overcome the strong contrast between the dark foreground and the bright sky.

Aperture was f/22 providing a 1 second exposure time at ISO100. During post processing I leveled the horizon, removed dust spots, minimally adjusted lighting, color saturation and contrast before sharpening the final image of "Light Surge".
