I read somewhere that Maine has
more lighthouses than anywhere else in the United States. Have no idea as to whether that is true
or not, but, I do know that you will find many, many lighthouses up and down the
Maine coastline.
Many of them are small ones like
this one. Notice the size of the
door in comparison with the size of the lighthouse.
In this photo, I like how the three
rock outcrops mirrored each other and formed a nice repetitive lines to lead
the eye to the lighthouse. To lesser degree, I think the bank on the far side also helps carryout this idea.
Enjoy.
Camera settings: Nikon D4, 28-300mm f/3.5~5.6 with polarizing filter
attached at 56mm, ISO 100, f/16 at 1/125th of a seconds on a tripod.
Post Processing:
Lightroom 4—applied Landscape preset
during import, set white and black points, increased contrast and tweaked the
blues and aquas saturation and luminance.
This is a gorgeous picture and does justice to the beautiful scenery in Maine. My husband and I visited relatives there last summer after returning from our beach front vacation rental in Sonoma County. It was amazing to go from one extreme, to the next. Still just as beautiful as California though. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteThe colors are wonderful. The simple design composition just adds to the overall effectiveness of the photo. You captured an outstanding vision of Maine.
