I’ve been leading this workshop since 2018, and 2026 also marks the twentieth consecutive year that I’ve photographed Autumn in Acadia. There are few other photographers who know the national park in autumn as well as I do. Every morning, I’ll lead you out in the early hours to photograph the sunrise, followed by a full day of visiting several sites around the park, choosing the best locations according to what weather we’re having. We’ll also make time for some digital instruction, learning how to process your images and how to get the best from your raw files using Adobe Lightroom software.

I’ve just returned from my annual late Spring/ early Summer visit to Acadia. The main reason for the visit was to attend the Art in the Park fair in Bar Harbor over Father’s Day weekend. I’ve had a booth there since 2016 and it’s always a lot of fun to put up several of my large prints, including a 40x60-inch metal print, which is always popular…

It’s that time of the year again! Registration is now open for my Images of Acadia landscape photography workshop. An annual tradition since 2018, we’ll spend five days together, rising early each day to (hopefully!) catch a spectacular sunrise, then spend the rest of the daylight hours seeking the best light and best colors we can find. Acadia is known as one of the most colorful and beautiful locations in the country for Fall foliage, and in eighteen years of photographing in Acadia, I’ve never known it to disappoint.

A small un-named pond reflects all the colors of autumn in a quiet corner of Acadia.

Wild blueberry bushes grow on the thickly forested hills near the summit of a misty Bernard Mountain on Mount Desert Island’s “quiet side.”

Gorham Mountain is one of Acadia’s least known but best hikes. On this morning, the clouds cleared just enough to let the sun shine through a pink, blue and orange sky.

Shorthly after sundown, a full moon rises out of the ocean, as seen from Southwest Harbor on Mount Desert Island.

The Kane Path in autumn is one of the most beautiful and colorful sights in all of Acadia.
