Something easy for Sunday. Had to get up yesterday at 2.30 AM to get there in time. Finally weather is nice and landscape season can be open! LOL

Mehikoorma is a small town on the banks of Lake Peipsi.
The lighthouse is situated in territory of border guard and Estonian army base.
The cylindrical reinforced concrete lighthouse is three meters in diameter and stands 15 meters high ; it has a lantern and gallery at the top. It was built in 1930s.

The first shot is done with 10-22mm with circ pol and soft Lee 0.6 ND grad second with 50mm prime and Cocin soft grad 121S.

The light on FG in the first one coming from the border guard search light :) creating quite a special mood!:)

hello Martynas

Nice exposure using standard lens and capturing the early hours mood in well composed shot. Good reflection of moonlight on the water.

It will be nice to post your photo info.

Hi Martynas,

This is a beautiful picture, congratulations! You have captured the scene in the available light superbly and the composition is very special too. A very serene atmosphere with lovely shadow detail and soft reflections.
Again congratulations!
Best wishes

Beautiful image. Nice mood and composition.

WOW !
It's brilliant Martynas - yes i thought you used a polarizer.
It came out very nicely :-)

Well done. Best regards, Daniel

Morning light, my favorite period of the day. And you illustrate that so well with that photograph. I will set my alarm clock earlier next week-end...

I just discover your galery with that photo and put you in my favorite to follow your great work.

Excelent mood and above all control of the difficult light Marty.

Lovely nocturnal shot, Martynas. Very dreamy and moody to me. Very well managed exposure with no apparent noise in resizing.
Cheers!
Freddie :)
