November 2024 - Main Lighthouse Through The Window
About the Image(s)
I took this shot through a car window, while the car was moving, with an iPhone, settings unknown. Naturally there were tons of artifacts and reflections...even a reflection of myself with the phone at my eye. I removed what I could and did general editing in LR. I rather like the contrast between the stable, distant lighthouse and the closer(therefore more blurred) and moving waves.

What a lovely place. I like the movement in the water. Can see why a lighthouse is needed there. Great atmosphere with the sky. Good results for being in a moving car with the windows up. Posted: 11/08/2024 14:45:10
A really pleasing artistic impression Ron.
Only thing I might change is to get rid of the mask on the headland about an inch in. Other than that love it. Posted: 11/08/2024 15:23:16

My hat is off to you (and phone camera technology)! Gorgeous image - great colours and tones. Did you replace the sky? Would have expected to see more of the colours on the water. In any case - a beauty. For the heck of it, I ran it through Topaz Photo Ai, to see if I could pull a bit more sharpness out of it - and I think it worked - mostly on the rocks and lighthouse.

Ron, this looks like Portland Head Light, Maine. Not sure how you did this but it is an interesting capture with some descrepancies from the Portland Head Light. As a Creative I like it. Posted: 11/11/2024 04:54:35
Ron, I apologize as it looks very similar, The government built near duplicates, as the Portland Maine lighthouse appears shorter and has 1 more window. Ron, Great job of capturing well under the circumstances. Mine is a scanned slide from before 2004 with great blue sky and clouds, but I like your sunset clouds better. Posted: 11/14/2024 02:18:16
I'm surprised just how similar they are too. Govt. cookie cutter lighthouses! Posted: 11/17/2024 01:20:03
