Cape Brett

While sailing to the "Hole in the Rock" at the Bay of Islands we came across this lighthouse at the far end of the Whahangamumu peninsula. The contrast of the green hill and white lighthouse was striking so I took some shots of it. Chose this one to post on TL.
There is no road leading to the (light)house, so all supplies are brought via boat. Must be a quite place to live :-)

PP work: cropped, adjusted contrast and brightness. Resized and sharpened.

Used a relative high shutter speed due the "rocking" boat.

Amazing place - obviously blasted by too much wind for forest to grow here.

Very good choice of composition, placement of lighthouse and house are dramatic and eyecatching.

Wonderful sense of scale in this stunning shot Hans.
I like how you cropped this, with the line of the hill reaching up diagonally.
Such rich lush colors and excellent clarity.
Well done.

I love this scene Hans. The solitary house below the lighthouse. Yes, with no road and without a boat it is a few days walking I imagine!! I don't think anyone lives there now. Not for me!!
Well composed with teh buildings placed close to the thirds.
And a good shot taken from a moving boat - well done

hi Hans

Wonderful slope of the diagonal that you placed your POV to enhance the height of the mountain and show its lovely side of facing the sea, including a smaller view of a house and lighthouse. Composition skill is nicely shown here. I really like the tint of blue sea water with a bit of white, the greenish slope and the pale blue sky combination in your POV.

Great work.

Hi Hans,

Michel

Well saturated colours, interesting little details with the white buildings and good composition using the cliff as a natural diagonal line through the frame. Beautiful picture.
Thanks for sharing
Mark
