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".
