Nice job Dan!
Especially like Dawn at Cadillac.
Keep 'em coming. Can't wait to see some more from that last day/night.

[Schnauzer]

Those are very nice Dan. You have an excellent eye for composition.

I like them all. Thats a neat perspective of Jordan pond. I wish I had thought of it but I had all I could do to get down there with my injured back and leg, at least thats the excuse I'm using for now.

I'm just starting to work on mine.

Dan-
Love the reflections in that first shot. Which harbor was that?? Bass, Southwest, Northeast, or other?? Sorry I didn't get a chance to officially meet you, but I also had a very glorious time at the Shootout. The problem now is where to begin with all of the pictures!!

Stephanie

[coscorrosa]

Great stuff, Jordan Pond (excellent comp with the rock in the foreground) and the waterfall shots are my favorite. So much color out there!

Dawn At Cadillac

http://dlplumer.smugmug.com/photos/678088754_NkQ6E-XL-1.jpg


They're all gorgeous but Dawn At Cadillac is my favorite. Where was that fence line anyway? I don't remember seeing it.

[kdog]

Excellent series, Dan! :thumb

Funny, I grew up in New England, and never remember Maine looking so good. :scratch

I like Cadillac Dawn and Stephanie's Falls the best. Those, and maybe that little one-eyed photographer in the last shot. :rofl

Cheers,

Superb work Dan i really like all photos especially Cadillac.

[dkoyanagi]

Good stuff, Dan.
I like the one from Cadillac.

[Halite]

Sweet work! It's cool to see how you captured your own unique perspective on places at least 60 others of us visited. I'm not going to get my images processed to share until I finish my 2008 tax return.:huh

[dlplumer]

Love them. Great to meet you and I'm researching Puffins for you :D

That is Bass Harbor. It was drizzling that morning and this was taken before the sun rose. I look forward to seeing you more next time Steph. I did name the falls after you though.:rofl

[RuiMLopes]

What a great set of pictures! Looks like you spent a great time there! My favorites are definitively first and third. Really very nice imagery!

Great job Dan!!!! :thumb :thumb :thumb
I really like the light and sharpness of the first two pic's. I haven't even begun to sort my Acadia pictures yet. I enjoyed shooting and chatting with you during the shootout. Can't wait till the next one.

[jforbes]

Great shots, Dan :D

It was nice to shoot with you on Saturday, too.

[cj99si]

Nice series Dan! Looks like a wonderful part of the country to capture. I'll bet you have more images than you know what to do with :thumb Would have been nice to come along this year...things just didn't work out.

[Hikin' Mike]

Never been there....I guess I need to add this to me list! Great series Dan! :thumb

[redleash]

Some terrific shots, Dan. That Jordan Pond image is beautiful--you captured something different from the rest of us and it really worked well. And I love the Cadillac shot, but then I am a sucker for fence shots! :thumb

It was fun hangin' out with you at the bar, er, I mean on the shootout! :D

Hi Dan

Great to have met you. I think my favorite of this bunch is the first harbor - you must have been up early! Nice work, and hope to see you next year!

Thanks Ann. Nice meeting you as well. I am planning on being there next year, especially after seeing all of Ron Coscorosa great Yellowstone photos.:deal

[pjames]

WOW! Love them all, wonderful work.

[dlplumer]

WOW! Love them all, wonderful work.

Thanks very much pjames:D It was a lot of fun.

[Marc Muench]

Great meeting you! It is amazing, even in the dark you can find a picture:clap

I do like how you composed the image on Cadillac Mtn. I like the fence and wet rocks. By including these elements you are beginning to tell a story, great job. I would keep from making the sky darker than the FG in any backlit scenes. The rocks are on the verge of becoming a bit hot. However, not a big deal to change, now that you know how to use the gradient tool:barb

Enjoy your new 7D:D
