Winter Island

Let's start off by visiting Winter Island... Firstly, the lighthouse there makes an excellent photo subject from a multitude of spots. And secondly, because it's still winter here in New England! Which means thinner, crisper air for clear winter photos.

I love using the angles from various viewpoints to capture the same subject and seeing how that changes how I see it. The shadows and highlights and nuances that angle creates as compared to another viewpoint.
The view of the lighthouse from inside the gazebo makes a very nice frame for a photo and helps me to keep the horizon straight. (I'm still looking for a tripod for my Canon EOS 40D.)


After climbing to the top of the hill, I used some brambles to add interest to the photo. Nobody likes to take the same photo more than once, so when I'm photographing the same subject I try to make sure there's something different in each one.

When I turned around I was offered this breathtakingly beautiful sailboat in the harbor.
I sat on this bench for quite awhile enjoying the view...

Always bring your camera, take photos of everything and anything that interests you, and share them with others.
