Misty light and ocean view of Acadia National Park, Maine 360 panorama


We hadn't been to Acadia in several years, so it was fun to travel back to Acadia again in 2001 - this time with a panoramic camera. I found a couple of locations along the well-known, rocky ocean shoreline that seemed like they would work well for some 360 panoramic images. Then it was simply up to having the right weather conditions while we were there - at the right tide level. Since tides fluctuate 8 to 12 feet, some of the places for photos only worked out at low - or mid tide levels.

I found a place near the trailhead for Gorham Mtn. where a rocky promontory jutted out into the ocean at low tide, and the water came in on 3 sides of the image. The sun rose in a gentle mist and softened the morning light. This helped give definition to the rocks - as well as the dark green kelp and seaweeds that grow in the tide zone.
