[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I had one more photo left from our lighthouse trip along part of the south Oregon coast. This time a vertical composition of Cape Arago Lighthouse. Here the effect of the fully closed CP filter is clearly visible and made the top of the sky a very dark blue.

I had to do some perspective corrections and this made the top of the lighthouse slightly distorted. It was either this or an even more distorted image. I guess some will not even notice it.

Hi Niek,

You have got a perfect blue sky, but not only that you have made this shot even much better, by adding this beautiful lighthouse!
I like the great contrast here with superb clarity and from a lower POV.

Very well seen!

Have a nice Sunday.

best regards,
Paras

Hi Niek,
A nice vertical presentation with this lighthouse backed by a marvelous blue sky!
Wondeful contrast with the white structure.
Enough ground for the pleasant composition.
Good lighting and superb color saturation.
A very neat presentation!
Regards,

Francis Xavier

Good Morning Niek,

Your polariser has really helped to enrich the sky colours and give a pleasing b/g to this well positioned, sharply focussed lighthouse.

Have a good day,
Bev :-)

Just stunning

And i also love the workshop version as well :)

Hi Niek

A wonderful blue sky, with excellent sharpness, & the red roof of the lighthouse sets up a fine warm cold colour contrast. Tfs!

Wooow, what a great shot!!!
Great composition here! Good use of the CP filter! (I don't know what is is, but the result on the sky is very good!)

Well done, Niek.

Hi Niek,

This one belongs on a.. calender... book... etc etc.

Stunning shot!

Alex

I like the loading of negative space in this shot - the deep gradient and saturation of the sky works so well. Frame is simple and the signature is subtle enough not to be bothersome.

Hi Niek,
I had seen your horizontal previous, I think my preference goes to this one! The vertical format is more effective giving best proportions at the lighthouse. The deep blue sky is terrific! Very good job with the polarizer.
Congratulations! Annie

Wonderful!! Your sky is just awesome Niek! Fade to black! Excellent sharpness, your distortion correction is perfect, can't see that it was even changed!

the polarizer really worked here, i liked the simplicity of the composition but very powerful.
