Pumpkin Island

Does anyone know if you can get a decent picture of Pumkin Island in Maine without going on a boat. I have a 70-300 lens

Fran,

Here's a link to some photos I took of Pumkin Island- you be the judge.

Scroll down as the photos are about halfway down. It was taken with my Panasonic Lumix with the equivalent of a 36-432mm lens. I'd venture to say that the photo was taken at the maximum zoom (12X optical)

Do you remeber where Dennetts Warf Restuarnt was. Was it after Dyce Head you ate there. Want that Lobster Roll.

Fran,

It's in the town of Castine right on the waterfront. Here's a link to some reviews of the place- you might recognize the last one-

Thanks

Fran, don't know if you're still interested in Pumpkin Island, but following the directions in the Kochel/D'Entremont book (and I think the standard location for viewing), I got this shot with my 75-300:



And for scale, here's my truck parked in the viewing area with the light.

Perfect thanks. My trip is comming up fast. I cant wait any longer.
