Bass Harbor Head Light - a photo on Flickriver

Bass Harbor Head Light

            I wanted to photograph this lighthouse for its absolute beauty and photogenic properties from my very first days of planning a trip to Acadia National Park. This iconic place often appears on pages of different magazines and is minted on the State Quarter dedicated to Maine. It is no wonder that the location is well-known among photographers. But I still had a hope to make a photograph that will not look like many others that I saw on the Internet.

I arrived well before the sunset, but the place already looked like a seagull nesting ground: photographers were everywhere, on and under rocks. The high tide made them set their tripods even closer to each other limiting the choice of composition to the minimum. I took my time looking at the scenery and visualize how this beauty should end up on my image.  A while later some photographers moved out, and I found a tiny free spot under rocks where set my camera for a very long exposure that I now enjoy so much.
