Red Sky Dawn

As I type this I am in Bar Harbor, Maine, shooting along the coast and scouting in preparation for my workshop that starts this Sunday. The weather has been challenging with severe downpours, cold temps and high winds. When the storms blow in or blow out, I get down on the rocky coast or hike to the summits of these amazing little mountains that ring the coast around Acadia hoping for some great light.

On this morning I was not disappointed by the light and weather. Making way over and across the granite cliffs in the pre dawn gloom, I watched a small break in the eastern sky hoping it would not cloud over before the suns grand entrance. As the sun rose and broke the horizon, the rains began to pour down once again. The light lasted but only a few minutes and I got this shot as it reached it's most dramatic point.

The 2011 workshop schedule is now online on my website for anyone interested.

Also, look for my profile interview in the July edition of Outdoor Photographer magazine.

Best of light NPN!
