Portland, Maine U.S.A.
I've been so fascinated with wintertime at the ocean since I've moved to Maine. It's such an adventure to me. Off-season is the best!
Yep. I went out in 23 degree weather for this. I'm easily amused, no?
Exposure: 2 sec (2)
Aperture: f/2.8

It was extremely windy on this trip to Portland, with 40-50mph winds. There was so much spray that it was a case of continually wiping the filter, waiting for what looked like a good wave and then quickly taking a shot! The filter was covered in spray again within seconds. Was a fun and rewarding visit though. This is taken with my back to the Pulpit Rock, for protection from the wind and for safety.
Back when Delaware-Lackawanna ran three times a week to interchange with Norfolk Southern at Slateford Junction or Portland, a trio of ALCO/MLWs pass underneath the Lackawanna Cut-Off bridge over the Delaware River near Slateford Jct. At the time, C636 3642 sported a freshly-applied nose herald, which was sorely needed! You won't find regular freight activity down here these days unfortunately, but at least the Delaware-Lackawanna is still going strong.

The most photographed lighthouse in the U.S., on the coast of Cape Elizabeth, in southern Maine -- October 27, 2017
I had been to, and shot from the Pittock Mansion viewpoint before, but my buddy has not, so we set out to see what we could find. We were hoping for a lot of fog. Nope. There was a bit, but you had to be creative to use it. "Creative," when used by photographers, usually means zoom lens. Here I used my Sigma 150-600 and stitched a panorama from 3 frames. It was so cold up there, but worth it.
Let me know what you think.

I took this while wandering around the West End of Portland, Maine. I liked the very neat appearance, the colors, the fence, and the large blooming rose plant. It appears to be a triplex. HFF
Tonight’s after sunset glow over Portland Bill Lighthouse in Dorset was beautiful. I nearly left as it was so cold and the sun took a dive behind heavy clouds half hour before this. I am glad I hung around now. This was a nine minute exposure using a ten stop filter to create the milky water and movement in the clouds.
The last spot on my Dorset trip was the Isle of Portland to visit the world famous lighthouse. I'd been to Portland a lot in the past, it used to be where the Royal Navy did their sea training but I'd never really been to the lighthouse. The lighthouse was built by Trinity House in 1906 and is 41m tall. It was automated in 1996. I was planning on a sunset shoot here but due to time I had to visit whilst I was on my drive back to Plymouth.
