Hello dear friends,

I am glad to be there after 2 weeks of absence!

Well, did you experiment a magnetic resonance? Layed in a long tube, strapped as a boloney? This is weird!!
So after this bad moment, I asked at my hubby to run towards the light... He has taken the road of National Forillon Park!
This was a great idea!

"Cap-des-Rosiers is the entrance to Forillon National Park. In 1759, it was from Cap-des-Rosiers that the French caught sight of General Wolfe's fleet navigating towards Quebec City. This place was also witness to many shipwrecks including that of the Carrick where 130 Irish immigrants perished. The 37-meter lighthouse was built in 1858 and is the highest in Canada. In 1971, the village was annexed to the city of Gaspe."(Ref.: Info Gaspésie). Gaspé has celebrated its 475th anniversary in 2009. Due at the compression of the photo, the logo is what you cannot see easily at the top of the lighthouse.

RAW photo converted in TIFF with Digital Photo Professional. I make three copies of the image and made a HDR version of them with Photomatix.

Thanks for your visit and comment!
Have a great weekend!

Hi Annie,
Again the light and clearness are superb. The composition is spot on with the two fences creating the lead in to the of centred lighthouse. Great contrast and colours, superb posting!

You are SO funny! I love your notes! I have had that Magnetic Resonance! YESTERDAY! I had a cardiac MRI....just a check up! Your photo is beautiful! You always have such moody skies there, the quality is wonderful, love the light against the light house!

Bonjour Annie,
Voilà une bien belle image. Les couleurs y sont très denses par l'effet de saturation du post-traitement.

Le détail que j'aime le plus, c'est la porte ouverte (à droite) qui attire l'oeil et qui invite à regarder. C'est une bonne idée de l'avoir cadrée en avant-plan.

Bravo!

Hi Annie,
The HDR treatement gave this photo a sort of old look. I like the muted colors and the stark contrast. Your presentation with the open gate inviting the viewer to the lighthouse is great.
TFS,
Niek

Bonsoir Annie,
Belle présentation et composition,
Excellent POV./DOF. et détails,
Le ciel est magnifique avec un avant-plant bien éclairé, le phare 'off center' et la barrière en avant-plant nous donne une belle profondeur de champ à la composition.. belles couleurs et contraste.
compliments
Michel

Bonjour Annie

Image qui rend les lieux fort accueillants, une perspective invitante. Le phare monte fidèlement la garde sous ce ciel contrasté. Bravo pour le choix de l'angle.

Serge

Hi Annie....excellent shot...great tones and light...nice work.

Annie
Tu as retrouvé la lumière du phare après le passage dans ce tunnel désagréable(pas trop grave d'après ce que je comprends!). Beau travail de PP qui donne du peps à l'image.
Amicalement

Hi Annie

The yellow fence & dry grass, contrast well, against the bg blue grey sky. Excellent sharpness & the lighthouse makes a superb focal point. Bon weekend!

Bonjour Annie,

Joli phare que j'ai visitié il y a quelques années. Malheureusement sans appareil digital. Jolie composition équilibrée, un beau ciel dramatique. La cloture en avant plan vient ajouter de la profondeur à l'image. Bravo

Olá Annie
