dglickstein Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Heading to Maine late September / early October. I will be shooting around Acadia and nearby coastal areas and I am looking for recomendations of locations for landscape scenics. Thank you in advance. dG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charles_stobbs3 Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 It's all nice but the roads leading down to Bar Harbor can be crowded. A ferry to Monhegan Island or harbor cruises in Boothbay and the roads down to Stonington or Port Clyde are scenic. Also Portland has great restaurants and the mail boat trip from there to the various Casco Bay Islands is a good way to spend a couple of hours. Or get off at Peak's Island, walk or bike around for an hour or so and get another ferry back to Portland. Have a good trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Waller Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Think Lighthouses. There are quite a few that are spectacular to photograph. The most famous are the Portland Light in Portland and Nubble Light in York. also seek out Bass Light and Pemaquid Point. Just google these and you will get a wealth of info. Here is one from Pemaquid Poit. http://www.usefilm.com/Image.asp?ID=880009 And of course in Acadia, plan on getting up early to be atop Cadillac mountain at first light. Often too foggy up there to get shots, but if it isn't, you will just LOVE the scenics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffpolaski Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Haven't the tme to repeat a post of mine last week, so do a search on Acadia on this forum and you'll find plenty of advice. We're staying in Southwest first week of Oct and expect a great time. Google Acadia and check out the locations on any of several sites, including the official one. Thurston's Lobster Pound across the water from Bass Harbor. Bar Harbor is a tourist trap. I think Oct 12 (?) (saturday) is a Beer festival, in case you want to photograph wildlife.

john_bald Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Maine is a wonderful destination in the fall, that's for sure. I wonder if you'll be back this year as well? A friend of mine is leading a workshop along midcoast Maine this year. Hey, how often do you get to ride on a real working lobster boat as part of your workshop experience?!
