Landscape photography in frozen Wells, ME.

Winter Landscapes Maine

I had wanted to get out yesterday morning to get a shot at Wells Harbor, ME, that I had had in mind for a little while. With the snow covering the ground I was hoping that we would get a nice sunrise to compliment the foreground but yesterday it was lacking a little something in the sky. This morning wasn’t as colourful as I had hoped but decided that it was time to brave the cold and see if the shot would work.

I had photographed a wedding in MA last weekend and during the day the temperature had risen as high as 68F and it felt like a spring day. This morning leaving the house at 06:30 it decidedly did not feel like a spring day, with the thermometer in the car registering a rather fresh -1F and the breeze making it feel a little colder, I knew that I wasn’t going to be lasting too long.

This first shot was taken just behind Lords restaurant next to the harbor, with the marsh steaming in the background.

The next shot was taken on the drive back and again was an image that I have been waiting to capture. Hopefully tomorrow will bring a little more colour into the sky and this may be worth another visit.

Check back soon to view Nicole and Shane’s MA wedding day photography on a slightly warmer New England January day.
Cheers,
