In this part of western Maine, daylight stretches out to 15 1/2 hours on June 21st. Here are images from the end of the day.

Kezar Lake sunset. I used a graduated ND filter in Lightroom to balance the exposure of the sky with the foreground. The Nikon D600 has an amazing dynamic range.  This was taken with the Tokina 16-28 f/2.8 with a large convex front element that does not accept my rectangular graduated ND filter.

This is a more expansive view of the beach. It was a cool evening (50's) so there was no one swimming, only a couple of young girls from a nearby cabin walking around. The sound of music from nearby Quisisana was mostly drowned out by the wind.

Next it was on to Moose Pond for later.

Apologies for the very obvious credit, I need to change a setting in Lightroom to make it more discrete.
