Really fun afternoon on s/v Owl out of Camden, Maine. Cap't Lincoln was great, and the bride and groom could not have been a nicer couple. Ended up using mainly the 16-35mm f4L lens. I really like the 20-35 f2.8L, but it's a bit soft in the corners.

This is not as much of an issue for general street shooting, but it is for a job like this where people could very well be on the edges of the frame. I bought the 16-35 for precise commercial work, and it was the perfect choice here as well.

Happy Summer to all.

Same 'new perspective' as below. Prime f2.8 lens. FF camera. Shooting from the hip. Summer Fun.

Trilled by the opportunity to guest-post on DearSusan.net [https://bit.ly/2MggpO1]. Photo above unrelated.
Continue to revel in the moment. Particular camera and lens in use at the time being of no consequence whatsoever.
​Incredible.

We took the 7AM ferry out to and island off the coast of Maine over the weekend.

Monhegan has long been known as an artist enclave. Wyeths painted out here, and I think Andrew still owns a portion of Manana Is right across the way [4th photo].

​Rockwell Kent made a very successful series of paintings of the island just after the turn of the last century, after which he painted Mt Monadnock which I used to see out my bedroom window in New Hampshire.

Making our trip so early in the season was a boon. Cool breezes and few tourists made for a very relaxing day.

Got word that the local visitors bureau has selected one of my images for the cover of this year's guide. So honored to be able to contribute. This area is indeed a very popular tourist area, as is much of coastal Maine. [Funny how much of a thread that is in my life and the places I've lived, come to think of it.] Looking forward to seeing the guide in all the little stores we frequent. Not sure I'm ready for the instant fame and adulation, but I'll do my best to adjust. ;)
