[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I've always wanted to take some shots of this lighthouse, so while on vacation this week I made the short trip down the coast to do so, hoping the fog and haze would clear up by the time I got there. Then, remembering some other photos I'd seen, I searched for the location just south of the lighthouse that seemed right...only to discover that I'd have to stand at the very edge of the cliff to get this POV! Apparently this is the spot other photographers use, since there was a slight trail leading to a visible worn area in the vegetation just big enough to stand in:) Crazy people...hehe.

PP: standard RAW adjustments, boosted contrast/saturation to compensate for hazy atmosphere, added border, sized, sharpened, jpegged.

Hi Karen,
This is a fine composition. The portrait format works well, excellent use of the rule of thirds. Colours look a tiny bit dull though (made a WS to show a different adjusted image). Anyway it is a great posting.

Hi Karen
I'm back to TL and a pleasure to find this posting. Have been there and posted from a different angle - Really like this one - shows off the size of the LH. Cliffs add to the quality of your skills. I perfer the original with the beautiful water.

Hi Karen,

Great clarity and DOF. The lighthouse makes a very beautiful background. Well done!

TFS Greetings Simone

Excellent composition, textbook perfect with good delivery of light and detail.

I recently bought a graduated filter (for around $80NZ, not too bad!) which is perfect for shots like this - it reduced the light at the top of the shot so that the rest of the photo pops out better and the sky looks deep and rich. So fun discovering new things!!

Hi Karen,

Wonderful POV and composition. Colors and sharpness spot on. Well done,

Jim

Hi Karen:
I really love seascapes and when there is a light house even better.You have caught two of my faves here in a wonderfully composed photo. It would be easy to spend every day there and photo that scene from different perspectives and light and weather conditions.... Thanks for this beauty ......have a happy new year my friend.....Roman:0)

Hello Karen.

Excellent picture, nice composition and colors.

Regards.
Jose Luis.

Nice composition (from the POV you've chosen) with the cliffs leading the eye to the lighthouse. Colours towards the back of the picture look a little muted - sea haze?
Thanks for sharing
Mark
