Another lighthouse post
« on: August 05, 2015, 02:05:35 pm »

Pramote and Framah have stimulated my lighthouse genes to the degree that I have booked a weekend on Pemaquid Point.  In the meantime, I thought to complement the recent posts with another view of Pemaquid Lighthouse at dawn.

That's a much more interesting image than the usual lighthouse shots.
As for Pemaquid itself, the rocks are fantastic and worthy of good closeups, IMHO.

Nicely conveys the struggle against the sea. Good one.

Very good B&W. It's intriguing, at least to me, it does not look like a lighthouse, with the picket fence and all.

IMHO it is the most beautiful light on the Maine coast.  You have captured a unusual and beautiful image of it.  Thanks for sharing.

A great shot. An unusual composition, and all the better for it

Wow, that's a fabulous lighthouse image.  Different than I'd expected, reading the title.  Beautiful!

Several of the lights in Maine have similar picket fences.  In fact, when I first saw the OP's image, I thought it was a different light.

Here is one from Castine, Maine that shows a similar picket fence.

nma...I really like it. The view is unique and the gradation of B&W is fantastic.
I'd love to see more texture of the foreground, just a little bit more.
Great B&W!

Beautifully done! Great composition and treatment. It positively glows on my screen and should print beautifully, too.

It has a very "Fred Picker" look to it (and that's meant as a compliment).

Lovely composition and masterful bw processing. I'm not an expert on printing, but I imagine that using a metallic paper would make this photo pop off the print.

My compliments on the tonality, selective detail and superb composition. The framed presentation, with a title, is a nice touch too.

I'm a little late here, but will add my tip of the hat for this image, too. Compelling.
