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!

    The light on the boats in the foreground with the mist in the background is just splendid. Great timing!

    the calm in the water is awesome and the placement of this frame is very well done. Do you happen to have a head on shot of the dock as well?

    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!

    The mist mystifies the whole picture!
    Really idyllic.
    Bet it looks fabulous in autumn. :)

    I saw the photo Becky took yesterday.
    I thought you were leaning on your monopod!
    Ah... it's actually a handrail! ;)

    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.
