9/26/06 - Somesville Bridge

This is apparently something that every photographer visiting Mt Desert Island, Maine (home of Acadia National Park) is required to shoot. Here's my contribution.
Not very many vantage points so it's hard to imagine more than a few different versions of this image. Every one that I've seen looks just like every other one. In fact, that's a problem that I found throughout the park; for example, how many ways are there to depict Otter Cliffs? 5? 10? How ever many, they've all been done hundreds of times.
In this bridge scene the differences will depend primarily on the season and the light more so than the perspective. I did shoot one that was a bit different - through a window in the front of the building and out the side window (visible in this shot) - but you had to be there to understand it.

This is lovely, very pretty. Could maybe use a little USM though.
