michaellinder 16,612 Posted October 9, 2018 Alas, current western society has little respect for lighthouses and lighthouse keepers. This image, to me, is not so much about the strobe and the structure on which it's mounted, but rather about the ocean and the sort of shoreline we don't have in southeast Florida. I'm enchanted by the b&w rendering of those natural elements. Bravo, Laurent! - - My best, michael Link to comment
frigo 4,155 Posted October 9, 2018 Michael...Thank you for the kind observation.This lighthouse has a rich history and it served many generations of fishermen in this area.Nowadays,it is more of a monument than a functional navigational aid even with its added modern strobe light which is a last resort guidance in case the GPS on the modern boats fail.Climbing to the top of the tall structure is always exciting even for one doing it regularly as it gives a priceless view on the virgin coastline but also inland on the surrounding peat moss marsh now aboding its bright red autumn dress(photo coming).It is a time of the year when the visitors depart promising to come back next year for sure leaving the island's beaches deserted except for a few hard nose bass fishermen and very few image seekers like yours truly to enjoy/snap the undisturbed nature of this still very well kept secret of a good spot.Salutations-Laurent Link to comment
Vlado 0 Posted October 13, 2018 I like that deliberation between colour and monochrome. Link to comment
frigo 4,155 Posted October 13, 2018 Vlad...It 's a combination of my preferred WA lense and my favorite saturation curve in PP.Glad you like the debate!Salutations-Laurent Link to comment
