Pemaquid Point and Lighthouse - Maine

The rock formations on this point are gorgeous so I wanted to take the image from this perspective.

Nice capture the rocks create leading lines to the light house.

Interesting composition.

The rocks there are absolutely amazing

Agreed. Nicely done.

I feel like I want to climb the rocks to get to the lighthouse. And the colors are amazing. Nicely done.

That's great. It's the kind of photo I see and think, "Would I have seen that if I was there? Probably not." So obvious in retrospect, but it takes some vision.

I've shot at this location several times. It is my opinion that a vertical shot is better because it emphasizes vertical lines of the rocks as they lead to your main subject.

Nice shot, I like the landscape orientation coupled with the wide angle lens here. The convergence effect you get naturally with a wide angle lens accentuates the leading lines of the rocks as they converge and draw your eyes to the centered lighthouse. For these types of shots I also like to experiment with tipping the camera down, it accentuates the leading lines even more and makes the distant object (usually a mountain for me) taller, counteracting the shrinking effect you get with the UWA lens.

I can't tell if it's from the polarizer or a grand ND but the trees seem to be overly dark on their top half, as does the top of the sky.

Good observation! I may have been using a polarizer. I honestly can't remember. I generally don't use polarizing filters with wide angle lenses in scenes that include the sky. When I have in the past, the sky is usually much more "blotchier."

That's a really nice shot, thanks for sharing!
