Misty Monday - To Shoot

Docked Boats, Northeast Harbor, Maine  © Doug Hickok


The question Hamlet asked was, "To be or not to be."
The question a writer asks is, "to write or not to write."
The question a painter asks is, "to paint or not to paint."
And, the question a photographer asks is, "to shoot or not to shoot."
Sometimes a subject is just too photogenic to pass-up and screams for attention. Such was the case for this naturally beautiful setting on the quiet misty waters of
Northeast Harbor, Maine.

I HAD to shoot!

  11. Stunning! This is one of those amazing shots with just about everything you could hope for, in it! The mist, that great blue skies in the BG, and the mirror perfect still waters, with the boats clustered around the dock. Picture perfect!

  20. I'm glad you decided to shoot! The light on the boats is so nice, but the mist in the background sets the tone. Brings back memories of summers in my teen years.
