Seacoast Photographers Group (Exeter, NH) - Meetup Laconia Beach Sunrise

One of my photo groups  Seacoast Photographers Group (Exeter, NH) - Meetup met for sunrise photo shoot.  We started out at Laconia Beach, Laconia.  I decided to scope out the area the day before, adding a few day light photos.

Acadia National Park, Cadillac Mountain Sunrise

We spent a weekend with one of my photogroups, taking photos of Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor.  A beautiful area and good food (fresh lobster) I would suggest vacationing. 

Sunrise at Portland Headlight, Maine

One of my Meet Up groups met sunrise at Fort Williams Park, Cape Elizabeth, ME.


I played with my settings, a wonderful opportunity to learn. I also realized how much I love capturing the light when taking photos, one my favorite parts of photography.

Sunrise On Top Of Mt. Washington Adventure

Early morning sun on top of Mt. Washington

Hiking trail and stone trail markers

Many tourists have attended Mt. Washington's sunrise, experiencing outstanding views. Would I go back again for the sunrise, in a heartbeat but I would check the weather before I go.

Last weekend my NEPE group met for sunrise on top of Mt. Washington 3:30 am. Because of the rainy weather only 6 of our members were brave enough to attempt the event, you never know, NH weather could change in a heartbeat and we could luck out...we took a chance.

We piled into Will's van and started our journey; we were #2 in the line. About 5 minutes into the drive fog started coming in, #1 car took off (we think he might have been an employee and knew the road) and we ended up the lead car. The fog was becoming thicker and thicker, you could not see more than two feet ahead. At one point Dale went behind the wheel of the van and Will walked in front of the van leading the way. We found a pull over and stopped!!! Thankfully a Mt. Washington truck pulled into the pull over and he lead the way to the top of summit.We made it to the top and for about 5 secs you could see stars and then fog took over!!!!

My photos did not turn out, I have never taken photos in heavy fog before. On the descend, still foggy but not as bad, the sun appeared for about 5 minutes and I took advantage of the welcome sun. I consider my adventure an experience of lifetime.

Mono Lake Sunrise and Tufa

One of the highlights of my recent vacation was visiting Lee Vining, Mono Lake, CA. The view, and lighting was specula, we took sunrise and sunset images. I was one of many photographers visiting the area.

Mono Lake is at the foothills of Sierra Nevada Mountains. Alkaline Lake showcasing Tufa Towers
