Photography Tips

Boulder Beach is great for shooting with a ND filter as the waves create a soft, milky flow. Be careful though a getting to the beach some effort. You are walking on rocks and boulders and the footing is very unsteady. After scrambling down a steep incline, However slow and steady and the effort will be worth it. It can get pretty crowded so go early and stake your spot.

Wonderful spot! Just came back from a fall foliage trip to Maine. A tip: be there really early during peak times in the park, parking fills up fast and there will be a ton of other photogs, so getting a good spot requires early early birds :)
