Re: PAW- Eagle Harbour Lighthouse-Wk of 3/22/04
Boris, thanks for taking the time to look and comment on this image. What might be happening here is that it was was raining and blowing very hard (rain was actually going sideways) and that might be why the sky and water have a similar bluish cast to them. My wife couldn't believe I would stand out in the weather as bad as it was. And IMHO, your wife is correct, with out the "monotone", the light would be less effective in this image.

Hi! Ken, this is very emotional picture. At least to me. I have one minor gripe. How to put it - the tone of the sky is too similar to tone of water. It feels almost as if there is a blue cast here... I rather like the lighthouse being put into the corner - it gives more space to what light shines upon... Well, my wife tells me that the monotone character of the image is the whole point - the light shines through the monotone... Well, now you have two opinions in one package...

Frank, thanks for taking the time to look and comment. It is Lake Superior, imho the most superior of all the Great Lakes. I caught the light and the wave through perserverance and a lot of Velvia. Actually it was so stormy that day that the waves were no problem at all, just shoot when the light was visible - btw the other side of the lantern had a red light in it which I also caught, but it looks unnatural like I added it i Photoshop.

Bill, thanks for taking the time to look & comment. I have not a clue as to what the exposure was but a 30th is a good guess given it was on Velvia and the dreariness of the day.

Mark, thanks for taking the time to look & comment. It was raining so hard my wife thought I was crazy standing out there with the camera gear. Without the softness it would be a more ordinary image of another lighthouse.

Oh, nice. Why is it that I only have to see the text 'lighthouse' and I already like the shot even before opening the link? Perhaps I like lighthouses.

RE: PAW- Eagle Harbour Lighthouse-Wk of 3/22/04
Ken, I've not a clue as to the body of water. I'm guessing Great Lakes somewhere (hey, that narrows it down, eh?), only due to your proximity to same. Other than that, I dunno. Love both the photo and the lighthouse. It looks so charming and domestic. Lighthouse with the emphasis on "house". Terrific that you caught that wave just at the right moment; really give the impression of tempest I think. How the hell did you co-ordinate the light and the waves?Wow!! Comp is perfect, as is pretty much everything else. Except (a very small except) it seems a bit hazy. I think it's my monitor. Or, maybe it was a hazy, rainy day, and you shot with a long lens which exacerbated the (minor) problem. I really like this, just like everything else you post. thanks, frank "The optimist thinks this is the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears it is true." -J.
