Title: Men Ruz Lighthouse at Sunrise, Brittany, France
Post by: Vieri Bottazzini on February 08, 2020, 01:59:03 pm: All the northern coast of France is dotted with lighthouses. One of the most spectacular, for me, is the Phare de Mean Ruz (or Men Ruz). Its position, its setting and its construction are all extremely inspiring and photogenic, especially with rough seas and an explosive sky such as here. 1.4 seconds with my Hasselblad X1D II, Hasselblad XCD 30mm and Formatt Hitech Filters Firecrest Ultra Grad ND and ND filters.

Nice image curious if you used lens correction filter in PS or just LR? Because I’ve experienced with my seascapes a slight curve on the horizon and only when I correct in PS am I able to completely eliminate it.

No, just the lens correction. That seems to take care of any lens distortion.

Me too. That's why I'm happy to see the work of those who do get up for sunrises.

Early bird and all that, I guess :) I used to be a late night person before starting to work as a professional landscape photographer, but now that has obviously changed :D It wasn't easy at first, but one gets used to it pretty easily I guess...
