This week’s shot of the week is a throw-back, as weather and time were not exceedingly cooperative this week.
It’s not a frequent occurrence for me to do night photography, even though it is something that I enjoy, as it’s a thinking photographer’s game. This shot is from December 2014, when Nubble Light on Cape Neddick, ME, was decorated with lights for the holiday season.
From a position, low on the rocks, I noticed that I could get a nice long reflection of the light on the island, including some on the rocks that were moist from the surf. In case you wonder, the ocean was flat, as this is a side effect of very long exposures.
Hope you enjoy!
Technical Details
This image was captured with my Canon EOS 5D Mk III using an EF 17-40mm f/4L lens. Exposure settings were at f/18, 100 ISO and 2.5 minutes of open shutter (yes, a full 130 seconds).
Beautiful!
Thank you!
It’s magical! I love the lights and the colors. 🙂
Thank you very much!!
My Favorite Light!!!! Beautiful photo!!!!
Thank you kindly!!
Nubble Light is my favorite place. I have lived in a lot of place, but nothing comes close. Growing up in New Hampshire on the coast, I spent more time sitting on those rocks you are shooting from than I could ever count. When I look at this picture all I feel is…home.
It’s awesome to hear that this photo brings you the feeling of home! I couldn’t wish for anything better! Thank you!
Mesmerizing!

night shots can be so tricky, the composition of this is so lovely. Thank you for sharing
Thank you very much! Yes, they are a little tricky, so a shutter release with a timer is the perfect solution 🙂
