After viewing Steven Perlmutter’s wonderful shot of Nubble Light Monday, I took a look at one of the images that I shot there this past August. This image was taken during my tour of New England lighthouses with my son as he searched for a location for his movie short. Since the light was located on an island, he didn’t consider it seriously since getting all of the equipment onto the island would be a logistical challenge. We were actually planning to skip visiting it, but he changed his mind and wanted to take a look. Once we got to the light, we fell in love with it. He wanted me to take some photos but I really didn’t want to as it was mid-day and the light and glare was terrible. He insisted, so I snapped a few hand-held 5-bracketed series that he could refer to it when we got back home.
After editing this particular image, I wasn’t happy with it and simply put it out of my mind until Monday. After looking at it a second time, I realized that it wasn’t that bad and it actually had a fairy-book story feel to it. I decided to post it today and see what everyone thinks about it.
When I first arrive I though, haven’t I seen this in the background of another shot?
Glad you took another look, there is nothing wrong with this exposure, Len. I really like the texture on those rock and the image is quite nice overall.

I like the soft glow look to the post processing, I think it really works. Good job you went back to rescue this image!

It’s very difficult not to love this lighthouse, and I really like the way you processed this image to give it a nice glow.
And thanks for the kind words about my post the other day. Very much appreciated.
I really like it Len. The composition is amazing and I love the detail and texture in the rocks.

Your words ‘fairy tale’ sums up this shot very well. The compositional arrangement of the buildings is ideal. I see absolutely nothing wrong with this and a huge amount that is very good indeed.

Although you said this shot was made in the harsh midday light you have managed to create a wonderful glow behind the buildings. I also like the details you have brought out in the foreground rocks.

Love the processing. The Nubble is one of my all time favorite lighthouses.
Great shot Len. This is an amazing place. This makes the third time that I’ve notice a picture of this lighthouse this week. It is really beautiful. I got to get up there some time to visit!
Love this lighthouse. Very cool images you have caught from this spot. Awesome my friend!
