Taken from the ferrry as we approaced Burlington Vt, just as we start to contour the lighthouse to enter the channel. Time on board is 1 hour from NY state.

From our house it takes 1 hour to drive to Burlington but we go out of our way to get to the other side of the lake which is NY state and take the ferry to VT.
It takes us 2 hours to get there but a pleasant way to cool off on hot and humid summer day.

Converted to B&W and framed.

Hello Dot,
This is an attractive vista and what a good way to while away summer. The positioning of the lighthouse is ideal, choice of 1/1600 seconds while on a boat resulted in a sharp photo. Greetings from Wash D.C. Danilo

I love the glowing water here Dot! This works well in BW! Excellent reflective light. just a TAD tilted on the horizon, but I forgive it! The glow of the light is very nice!

A very nice b&w. I especially like the clouds! Nice lighting and a very pretty lighthouse. Have a great Sunday!

Very nice Dot. A great atmosphere. Well composed, with nice lighting and tones.

Slightly rotated but would be easy to fix.

Bonjour Dot
Comme j'aime ton choix de faire cette photo en noir et blanc. Cela lui donne une ambiance un peu rétro qui a beaucoup de charme! Excellente composition, la jetée formant une belle perspective! Si je peux me permettre, compte tenu du ciel nuageux, je pense qu'en diminuant un peu la luminosité et en accentuant le contraste, l'effet pourrait encore plus intéressant! Bravo et merci du partage! Annie

Hi Dot, good this, very nice....excellent composition. The contrast on this is super, got lots of detail and definition. The clouds look menacing. I like the soft glow from the lighthouse.

A very pleasing image........I spent 15 years in the navy, lighthouses have always held a charm for me... regards h

Dot Hi;
Beautiful b/w image of the lighthouse and an excellent note. It sounds like a wonderful day of a trip, you live in a very beautiful part of our world. Your compositions is very interesting with a impressive POV, the detail and sharpness is all set off by the sky. You have presented this very will with an excellent frame and title.
Congraulations, very well done.
I hope you had an excellent weekend.

Those hot and humid summer days have yet to come here. It's wet and cold.
Indeed being on the water really is wonderful and seeing a lighthouse on the way makes it even better.
Lovely moody light on the water.

One of my favorite subjects Dot. I love lighthouses. I find them romantic and beautiful. They are like solders of the water ways, guarding us thru the danger. I particularly like the B&W here with the composition perfect. A wonderful capture of all the great elements. Bravo
Amitiés sincères

Jolis contrastes et un bon cadrage

Bonjour Dot,


Très jolie scène maritime. La composition est bien équilibré, la netteté et l'exposition sont bonne. Bref une belle réussite. Il se peut que ce soit la différence de calibration entre nos moniteur, mais je la trouve douce du point de vue contrast (sur mon moniteur). J'ai essayé un workshop, est-il mieux? est-il pir? N'en demeure pas moins que l'image que tu nous présente est une belle réussite. TFS.

Alain

A lovely lighthouse and a smart composition in W&B. Perfect repartition of the space and interesting sky. A remarkable shot.
all the best,
Donato
