Vigilance, Peggy's Point Lighthouse No.2


PHOTOGRAPHER'S JOURNAL: After everyone had shot their lighthouse reflection shots and sunset shots, and begun climbing from the rock ledge back up to the cars. I lingered alone below for a few more low-light, long exposures. With the sun below the horizon the lighthouse beam would be clear in my pictures, and there would still be enough ambient light to record the lighthouse, rocks, and sea clearly. This is the shot I submitted in answer to the assignment. The exposure was for 30 seconds at f22 and ISO 100.

Thanks, "Unseen." I will return to your site soon. I always enjoy visiting there, and I always learn something new.

Mel: Very glad you liked this one. I had a hunch this was your kind of shot.

Hi Ted! Of course, the reflection is probably more popular, but this one is surely a picture of a great pro! Awesome!!

Blogtrotter is anticipating the 4th of July fireworks; but in a different country... ;) Have a great weekend (or vacation, should you have that chance...)!
