Description

New Hampshire may have only 18 miles of seacoast, but it boasts an incredible variety of natural beauty, including white sand beaches, rocky coves (with or without harbors for lobster boats), and even the hustle-bustle of Portsmouth with its three bridges that cross the Piscataqua River to Maine.
This image was made in twilight at Great Island Common, a beautiful 32-acre multiuse recreational park on the coast near Portsmouth, also known as New Castle Common because it belongs to the town of New Castle. I tend to like the water in my images to be either sharp and active (as in waves on an ocean beach), silky (as in most waterfalls), or flat and serene, as in this picture here. If nature isn't giving you the "flat," then the best thing is to wait until the sun sets, so the lack of light allows you to fix the camera settings to enable a long exposure, and there you are, "instant" flat water. That's what I did here.
