Cape D'OR Lighthouse IR

Panther

Howdy All,

Been working on a some of the images from Cape D'Or Lighthouse in Nova Scotia.

Just one of the special places that we stayed at on our Nova Scotia Maritime Adventure<G>.














a B&W converted from the D200

What a great view.

Hi Craig,

Wonderful stuff. The first one is really well done but there's something about that last one that won't turn me loose. The overall scene in that one is spectacular but it's the element of the chairs that rivet my attention.

Take care,

Tom

The clouds and the chairs in the last pic are awesome. It's my favorite picture in this series.

I love that first one... the conversion is great.

Nice set Craig. I favor image one for its bright over the heavier
dark of the last. Composition setups in both are fine.

You seem to have them tiered from lightest to darkest.
Was that intentional or random? Not that it matters.

With the grass laid down such as it is in image 2, the wind
appears a constant companion on that coast line.

I like them all Craig...you did a good job on these, but #2 is my favorite. I feel like I'm standing there feeling the salty air blowing and can hear the waves breaking. Definitly a photo that stirs a "feeling"

Nice shots, Craig.
They look a bit too dark to me, though, especially #1 and #3.
Or am I looking through f3.5 eyes when I should be looking through f2.8?

Howdy Tom,

Thanks very much, it was a wild place, one night we had over 70 mph winds, and you can see the Dory Tides out by the Lighthouse, and then it was nice and peaceful.

Howdy Michael,

:D:DWasn't intentional but I like it!!!

I imagine it was those 70+ mph winds that we had.

Howdy Mary,

Thanks very much, there was something special about looking that way,
it was opposite of the Lighthouse, but the way the light was and the pines really made it an appealing view.

Those are fantastic shots Panther. Do I detect a wee bit of HDR in them if not they are out of this world and well done. I would love to know the lens and settings.

Howdy Bob,

Thanks so very much for the kind reply.

The EXIF data is attached so you can check out the settings, on the IR's, first 2 I leave the 18-70 on, and on the last one, I think it was with the Sigma 10-20.

Hello Craig,
Love #1 and #3 , but #1 takes the cake.
The IR just works beautifully on these.

WOW

In the first one crop a smidge off the bottom and the sky could be lightened a bit.

The second crop a smidge off the top and straighten.

The third one seems overall a little underexposed.

I really like the second one. The wind and the weather really stand out in that one.
Nice shots overall, a nice look to all of them.

Hi Craig,
I have seen the exif's and they are absolutely first class. I feel like framing them all.
