July 2025 - THE HOUSE IN LIGHTS
About the Image(s)
Description: Taken from the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens in December 2023. They do a sizable holiday lights display during the holiday season. I had my Z50 camera with a 16 - 50 kit lens. The camera was set to ISO 2500 and 1/30 second. The image was processed in Elements 2023. I boosted the vibrance and contrast a little and sharpened the image using th ehigh pass filter.

Donald, very nice tack sharp image of a well decorated lighthouse. Perfect crop. Would make a beautiful Christmas Card. Whenever we are in Booth Bay we always spend a day or two at the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens. Is Bet's Fish stand still on the way into Boothbay? Donald you live in one of my most favorite areas in the whole world. Posted: 07/04/2025 00:04:49
Tom,
Thank you for your comments! Christmas card idea is good.
To be truthful, I'm not familiar with Bet's Fish stand. I do like that sort of thing but when I'm with my wife I have to behave about food. She is not fond of fish.... Posted: 07/15/2025 14:33:42

It is a beautiful image and would make a great Christmas card. The individual lights are nicely presented as points of light. Well done!
