The Sun Rising on Nubble Lighthouse………..ME
The Cape Neddick Nubble Lighthouse, York Beach, ME photographed from about two miles accross the ocean at York Beach during sunrise. We had been staying for a short time in York Beach at a motel on the strip by the beach. Cheryl woke me up at the crack of dawn saying “You’ve got to see this sunrise”! Sure enough it was worth seeing. We set up our tripod just across from our hotel on the beach’s sidewalk and took this image. Photographed with a Sony A7RII, 42.3 MP full framed mirrorless camera and a Sony 200-600 F5.6-6.3 telephoto lens at 600mm. 1/640th, f8, ISO 400, Aperture Priority

Nubble Lighthouse, York ME
Cape Neddick Nubble Lighthouse Sohier Park, York Beach York, ME 03909 PH: (207) 363-1040 June of 2021 Cheryl and I decided to drive up to York Maine for the purpose of photographing the Cape Neddick Nubble Lighthouse. Known to locals as simply “the Nubble” lighthouse. It was an absolutely beautfiul June day upon arrival replete with family’s, couples, singles and a fair amount of scuba divers on shore ready to jump in. It was moderately crowded but we managed to get, what seemed like, the last available parking slot. Once down on the rocks with the tripod set up it was just a matter of waiting patiently for visitors to…

Spring Point Ledge Lighthouse, Maine
Spring Point Ledge Lighthouse 2 Fort Rd, South Portland, ME 04106 Cheryl and I decided to spent a few days up in the Portland ME area this past September to photograph some lighthouses and take in the sights. Spring Point Ledge lighthouse is a beauty. We caught a nice day for photography and there were few people there which allowed me to get the images I wanted. If you’re into lighthouses this is one to see. Photographed with a Nikon D7100 and Nikon 80-400 mm telephoto lens, tripod mounted. 1/1250, F16, ISO 800 PHOTO TIPS: F 16 was used to get as much depth of field as possible without degrading…

Bug Light Lighthouse, So. Portland ME
Bug Light Lighthouse This lighthouse guides the ships into Portland Harbor which is right across the harbor to the left just out of view in this image. It is situated in Bug Light Park in South Portland ME. It’s a spacious park with a nice view of downtown Portland and is nestled in on the north and east side by the Atlantic Ocean. A great place to chill for a while, watch your kids play or maybe read a book. Cheryl enjoyed the serenity on the park bench while I did my thing with my Nikon.

Portland Head Light Lighthouse
Portland Head Light Lighthouse 1000 Shore Road Cape Elizabeth, ME 04107 This was the one lighthouse we wanted to nail during our stay in Portland ME. Portland Head Light Lighthouse is one of the most photographed lighthouses in the country. I think you can see why. If only I lived in the area I would photograph this lighthouse in all types of weather and lighting conditions. However, it’s a bit of trip for me to get here so I made the best of it. It’s located in Cape Elizabeth on the grounds of Fort Williams Park Cheryl and I stopped by on September 18 later in the afternoon and it…

Saybrook Breakwater Lighthouse, Old Saybrook CT
The Saybrook Breakwater Lighthouse is located at the base of the Connecticut River where it meets Long Island Sound. Constructed in 1886 it has a cast iron outter shell and a brick interior lining. At 48′ in height it’s architecture is known as “spark plug” style. The Lighthouse went to public auction and was purchase in September of 2015 for slightly less than $300,000.00. There are no good vantage points from land unless you are allowed access to the many private roads and residential communities that afford a view. As usual, I chose not to trespass into these neighborhoods and was forced to momentarily stop my car on Rt. 146…

Saybrook Point Inn, lighthouse & marina.
Saybrook Point Inn Marina 2 Bridge St, Old Saybrook, CT 06475 Located at the juncture of the Connecticut River and Long Island Sound is one of Connecticut’s finest Inn’s. I’ve personally stayed here and was very pleased. My photographs are from the beautiful marina/lighthouse located to the rear of the Inn. I took these pictures in early April so the boats haven’t docked for the season as of yet. The Inn is also the location for numerous weddings. Couples frequently use the marina as a backdrop for their formal photographs.
