My Vacation—Part 6

Before visiting Maine, one of the things that I definitely wanted to see was Acadia National Park.  Many landscape photographers maintained that it is one of the most picturesque national parks.  There are some great things in the park, but, I would not rank it as high as other might—give Yellowstone, Sequoia, Glacier, Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Zion, Canyonland, Muir Woods, etc.

Photographing Acadia was made the more difficult by what you are seeing in today’s photograph—FOG!  The coastline was socked-in with fog almost the entire two days that we were in the park.  Yet, less than a half mile inland, there was absolutely no fog.

Today’s photo was taken from the top of Cadillac Mountain, which at 1,528 feet, is the highest peak on the Atlantic coast between Canada and Brazil (just for the education of my readers).

One of my friends is original from this area.  I prepared this panorama for him.  It is a seven shot panorama combined in photoshop.

Enjoy.

Camera settings:  Nikon D4, 28-300mm f/3.5~5.6 with at 70mm, ISO 100, f/8 at 1/250^th of a seconds on a tripod.

Post Processing:  

Lightroom 4—applied Landscape preset during import, cropped the image, set white and black points.

Photoshop CS5—combined the seven images, did some minor cloning where the images were combined, cropped image, added boarder and black stroke around edge.
