Glorious Acadia - Fall Workshop

Got back late last night after a wonderful 3 1/2 days in the Bar Harbor region.  A great group of photographers and tremendous learning experience for all.The first (Friday) evening was tricky atop Cadillac Mountain with strong gusts and a cloud/fog cover that was constantly obscuring the views.  This was not wispy fog but pea soup. The forecast was not the best for the next two days but we sure did luck out with near perfect days and rain only after sunset.The following are in camera captures:   How can one go to Acadia and not shoot Monument Beach at sunrise. Sunday evening we drove over to the Blue Hills region for cocktails and wine with some very close friends.  The boat house is one of my favorites. This following image was textured with two textures and then I used the Oil Painting filter in PS6 not only to give it more texture but to add dimension and depth.
