David Middleton and Bruce Morrison have created a very insightful guide to coastal Maine photographic "hot spots". I am a professional photographer based in Maine, and while I am quite familiar with most of the places mentioned in this book I was pleasantly surprised to find out about others I had overlooked or was not aware of. (I also have a few secret spots of my own that did not crop up in the book..thankfully... but that's what makes this fun - a guidebook is best put to use as a springboard for further exploration.)Photographers who live in Maine or are planning to visit coastal Maine will find much to enjoy here. You couldn't ask for a better resource. Even non-photographer types would do well to mine the gems of this book for general sightseeing and hiking tips.Middleton and Morrison put you smack dab in the middle of great photo opportunities. A bit of a warning here: after you get a copy of this book you will feel a sudden and intense urge to be out on the Maine coast with your camera.PS - Middleton's guide to Vermont photo sites is excellent as well.
This is a good guidebook. It has enough detail/description to allow one to rationally select "likely sites" without being overpowering. However, there are an number of annoying editing errors present. (For example, every time the text reads "this place is 0.05 mile beyond that place", what's really meant is "0.5 mile". This is wrong in every place it's mentioned!)
Book appears to be good, about 3/4 through it. Trip soon and will update after return. But be aware ! This book was written and published in 2004. Author/photographer writes about taking his photos with film. While it is true some old diehards still use film for the image quality, but to mention film, film, film and very little of digital speaks of the books age a little. Some of the "secret spots" may still be there or not, but will find out during the trip how current the book still is. Will follow up with further thoughts.
We followed his book to the letter and a great book with valuable infomation. Would recommend this book for anyone traveling to Maine and who likes Lighthouses. Wonderful and helpful tips.
Considering my wife and I only spent 4 days visiting the coast of Maine we used this book so much that I would need to replace it if we made another trip. The maps and the directions were excellent. In addition to information on times of day to get the best photographs, tides, etc., there were tips on dining and side attractions. We highlighted, underlined and turned down page corners to the extent that the guide got pretty ragged. Pictures in the guide were excellent and intriguing. For anyone seriously interested in photography in Maine, this is a must-have guide book.
A nice book. Nice photography. Had I known it was published in 1955 I likely would not have purchased it. I first checked the publishing date when the author mentioned "those new fangled digital cameras." I will be traveling to Maine this summer and I expect the directions to drive will have changed a lot in the past 60 years. Nowhere in the description on .com is the publishing date mentioned.
I LOVE THIS BOOK! Before going to Maine, i ordered several books from photographers. This was by far, the most informed book I received. I wouldnt leave to go anywhere without it while on vacation.The author describes about great places (and gives you directions) that arent on the normal tourist track. We tried to go to everyone of his suggestions while in that specific area. We wouldn't have seen half the special things if it wasn't for his book,
Good guide with maps and dotted locations for great pictures. Price was good. Pictures of very nice scenery and places are included. Many charts highlighted in green to show peak times, where, what is found at particular areas, etc. Small book, about 5 X 8 and not too thick. Easy to take on trips or when needing a handy reference and guide. It would give the photographer a chance to plan their lens choice, possible metering, and other positions for the best photo of known and unknown places and objects. I personally found it to be very helpful as I am not very familiar with so many of the locations they mapped in this book. I would recommend this little book.
