Bodie

Whenever I have visited the Outer Banks of North Carolina, my first

stop has been the Bodie Island Lighthouse. Built in 1872, I

understand this is actually the third lighthouse built in this area of

Bodie Island. The one before this one stood on Pea Island in an area

now under water. I always create a few images of this lighthouse and

support buildings hoping for cooperative skies and for the rare

opportunity of an image without tourists in it. Comments and critique

welcome.

Hi Wayne,

  Wow.....beautiful image with wonderful details, colors & lighting.  Take care, Patsy

I like the illusion of waves in the clouds.

Thanks, Ray for stopping by and commenting.  Thanks, Patsy and congratulations.  The honors are well deserved.

Hi Wayne, I'm a big lighthouse fan and this is a beauty, and your capture of it is excellent. I like the perspective and the BG sky is perfect IMHO. Really very nice shot Wayne.

BR,

Thanks, Holger.  I greatly appreciate kind comments from someone like you who knows well how to image these structures - deciding vertical, how much sky and land to include and how to balance the "weight" of the lighthouse in the composition.  (I think I might have been gaining skills in this area from you and others on PN for some time now.)

Nice composition Wayne.The banded lighthouse stands on its own & the clouds add more interest.  John

Thanks, John.

Hi Wayne,

An image worthy of an enlargement of at least 13X19 inches .

A fine presentation my friend.

Best Regards, Mike

Thanks, Mike.  It is appreciated and encouraging when you approve of an image.
