Summer's Ending In the Lakes Region of New Hampshire, Sunset on Newfound Lake

Labor Day Weekend, our last summer weekend, kids are going back to school, tourist are packing up, returning home. You can start to feel a touch of fall in the air. 

Bob and took a ride to Bristol,  Newfound Lake, NH,  Tuesday night, taking in a sunset.  I found an opening, spotting the sunset shining through a summer home's porch windows, a beautiful reflection of the sunset on the lake and started shooting through the trees from the street.   The homeowner curious,  came out to see what I was doing and invited me to come onto his property to take a few photos.  Imagine living with this nightly view.

We live in a beautiful state.

America Flag At A Camp Site at Sunset

Final Edited Photo

Before Editing

I set out to find new spots to take sunset photos, actually following the setting sun. I found an area on Collins Brook Rd, Meredith, discovered lighting on a American Flag hung on a garage in a camp site caught my eye and I knew I had to work quickly before I lost the light. 

I shot a few photos and returned home to edit. What I found was the flag mounted on an garage and behind the flag steps of camp (bungalow).  I cropped played and sent to my friend Charlie Loy for his suggestions and review.
*He did not like the square crop but if I do keep it.
*The building needed to be lighten (he did not realize I was trying to camouflage the garage.

I started again re-editing. 

*I took Charlie's advice about square photo. Change  vertical instead, encompassing the sun.
*Lighten the building but cropped leaving a panel of the garage door looking like a door of camp house. Lighten the building slightly for definition.
*Cloned out the steps behind the flag.

I was challenge again by Charlie and his comments helping me to perfect an image and raising my work standards, I am very proud of the outcome.  I need to follow his advice more often :)

A Few More Sunset Photos

My husband Bob took this image.

I found a pretty spot, Highland Lake in Andover, NH. A few weeks ago, I saw a gray Heron and I was too late to photograph a pretty sunset. I decided to give it try again this week and while there were no clouds, no gray Heron, the sunset was still beautiful. I will return to Highland Lake.

Romantic Sunset On Webster Lake

Last night I wanted to take sunset and decide to give it a try on Webster's Lake in Franklin, NH. Arriving I saw a young couple sitting on the beach taking in the sunset..."sigh" to be young again!!!

A Quest For Good Spots For Sunsets

Bob and I attended a food tasting event at Lakeport, NH, a place over looking , Winnisquam Lake. I realized this location might be a great spot to take sunset, I was not disappointed and will return often. The parking lot, a woman I was talking to mention another spot to check out. Lily Pond, Gilford, located near the airport, I check the suggested location, finding another great spot to shoot sunset.

Sunset on Lake Waukewan

One of my favorite spots for sunset is Lake Waukewan, Meredith, NH. After a delicious dinner at Camp, located in the Chase House at Mill Falls, I notice we might make sunset at Lake Waukewan. As luck would have it, I found clouds, boaters and swimmers onthe lake adding interest tomyimages. A perfect setting and end to a nice day.

Swimmers not wanting to end the day.

A photo mistake I liked and kept.

Even the boaters took in the sunset.

Perfect Sunset

Last Saturday 34 members of our photo group met at Portsmouth for a walking tour, taking pictures. I have visited Portsmouth but this was the first time I walked the area, the way to tour the city.

Visiting Portsmouth you will find a beautiful seaport, rich with history, shopping and eating places. Soon Prescott Park gardens will be in full bloom, great area for macro photography. Strawbery Banke takes you back in time, seeing restored New England homes and working artisans. Oh I love this place!!!

I happened to return to a folder and found an old picture of sunset on Mojalaki Golf Course...played with the image and this is what I came up with. As I learn new techniques, returning to older pictures is fun see how I might improve or just play with.
