John Lampkin Trip Shooting of Water

(Please click on the photo to enlarge to a higher resolution.)

These images were shot from a speedy Boston whaler near Christmas Cove, Maine after Hurricane Earl blew by. Here, a sailboat looks like it’s being swamped by crashing waves:

Actually, it passed safely by on the other side of the shoal:

EIDER is common crossword fill. Here an armada of Common Eiders rides out the waves. Looks like fun, eh?

The Pemaquid Lighthouse appears on the Maine quarter, and is possibly the most photographed lighthouse in the states. I found a WATER puddle nearby to create this reflection shot in mid-afternoon, the day before the storm:

I went back very early the next morning to get some pre-dawn shots. The lighthouse blinks once every five seconds or so which means timing the shutter click carefully. This pic is nice, but the strong winds made a clear reflection like the afternoon before impossible. Guess I’ll have to visit again next year!
