Wicked nice steaming foggy day around these parts yesterday- late in the afternoon I noticed that the light was getting nice and weird as the fog was thinning and the sky was popping through, so I rushed down to Seal Cove and sprinted ( well you can't really sprint in Muck boots but you know what I mean) across the low tide bottom of the inner harbor to get this scene. the tide was so low that it looked like a river here instead of a cove. Have a good one- Nate

Maine, finally starting to look like winter after a belated start. Found some great atmosphere yesterday after the snow fell and it warmed up enough to steam, and here's more scary frozen lake action where it looks like it had melted holes in the surface only to find they were puddles on at least 6 inches of clear ice (clear= fast freezing), but every few feet I had to stop and sweep some snow away to check again to see if the ice was still there. I've never fallen through and so help me, I never will, and have gone over the contingency plans in my mind just in case, and watched enough Bear Grylls to think I know what to do. Forget that stripping down and making a fire bit though! Whatever, I digress. Thanks for looking and have a nice day- N8

Deep ice landscape impressions. Going to snow tomorrow so all of this will be buried for weeks. How's your winter so far? Thanks for looking and have a nice day- Nate from Maine Usa.

Hunter Cove, also the outlet for Hunter Brook, in Acadia. This is a three shot shift-pan made with my 24mm tilt-shift. These giant icicles were sometimes 20+ feet tall, it was tempting to get a look underneath but as it was almost 40 degrees they were slowly popping chunks and dripping threateningly. Looking forward to printing some panoramas, but gotta get a new roll of paper first! Thanks for lookin and have a nice day, Nate from Maine Usa.

So many times I end up making my favorite shot at the very end of the shooting day. Started at location number one (1) and made some reasonable images, went on to location number two (2) and shot for another 2 hours scenes of ice, and it was only when I was cold and wet and packing up when I found these ice beads, so spent another 30 minutes with my tripod submerged and only the ball head sticking out of the stream to catch this one. Have a nice day everybody,and thanks for looking- Nate from Maine Usa.
