Portland Head Light, is a historic lighthouse in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. The light station sits on a head of land at the entrance of the primary shipping channel into Portland Harbor, which is within Casco Bay in the Gulf of Maine. Completed in 1791, it is the oldest lighthouse in the state of Maine. The light station is automated, and the tower, beacon, and foghorn are maintained by the United States Coast Guard, while the former lighthouse keepers' house is a maritime museum within Fort Williams Park.

Got bored the other night, and thought I'd have a drive into town to see if I could find anything new and exciting.
As usual, I had to be home at a 'decent' hour, so I could make it to work without so much of a problem the following morning. Uneventfully, I trudged the streets, looking for the 'shot of my dreams.' Oh, you know what I'm talkin' about. You've got it visioned in your head and yet you somehow just can't put it through the viewfinder. That's how this whole night was. Not necessarily a bad thing, this predicament has taught me two things:
A) Learn to really see in your mind what you want to be in the viewfinder
B) Use different lenses, focal lengths, apertures, exposures, ISOs, etc to get what you have in mind. It won't be on the first shot. And good on you if you can ever get it exactly how you imagined at all.
