Portland Head Light II
no images were found
Last week I posted a shot of this same lighthouse taken from this very same same spot, but at very different settings.
I switched settings to get the longer exposure thinking I might prefer one over the other. I also wanted to make the most of the experience – get the most out of the waning light. When I compared the two finished images in Lightroom, I couldn’t pick a favorite. I liked them both equally. But something else hit me.
That simple change in settings – from f/2.8 and 2 seconds to f/16 and 60 seconds completely changed the mood of the scene.
So for this Friday, here is some lighthouse serenity.

Hi,
Its really awesome picture. Very unique and clear really I love it.
Great capture Bob! I really liked the color shot but this long exposure rocks!
The B&W conversion really makes this pop given the ultra long exposure…can’t decide which one I like more. Love your coastal stuff lately.
You know, I can’t decide either. I liked the power you felt in the previous image because of the water motion but this just has such a different feel to it which is equally as awesome. They both rock.
Fantastic…I love the sunset color a lot from the first one, but this B&W is just excellent. Well done as usual.
This is a stunning light house photo, and lovely b&w
I remember well your first image, and now we’ve got this to compliment it. Wow, Bob, that silky water there really adds a ton of drama and intrigue to the scene! I love this a whole lot, my friend!
The black and white also adds to the mood change. I like them both! Nice scene either way ya slice it!
Fabulous work, Bob.
Wow, that’s incredible!
Killer image Bob! Great tonality and the long exposure definitely the ticket, love how you’ve rendered the water.
