Boca Chita After Hours

[Paul Marcellini]

Went out for a quick run across the bay for this last night. Used a 10 stop neutral density filter to get a 100s exposure at f8 iso200. Just after sunset with some directional light still present.

how'd you get there? have a boat? Been dying to get out there at the right time...

[Paul Marcellini]

buddy has a boat, we talked about doing a lighthouse tour by boat, email me if that interests you at all.

Hi Paul, Beautiful light along with a pleasing sky. Due to the long exposure the water has a nice softness to it.
The lighthouse is almost centered which I'm debating about off centering it and showing a bit more water. I would remove the clipped tree on the right...

[Garry Gibson]

Paul I agree with Dave, other than the clipped tree. I think its a wonderful image.
The colors are really pleasing to the eye.

[Nick Palmieri]

Very nice light. I would also like to see the the lighthouse a little more off center.

[Paul Marcellini]

Thanks guys, I don't mind centered things, I like to bug the rule followers when I can. But I do think this crop strengthens it.

[Elmar Venter]

Paul, this is a beautiful picture. I love everything about it - the colours, the movement in the trees and especially the smooth texture of the water.

[Roman Kurywczak]

Hey Paul,
I'm fine with either crop......sweet light and sky!

Hi Paul, sweet light and nice comp, miss South Florida after my parents sold their place in Bonita Springs.

Paul, this is very simple image yet very powerful. Loved the long exposure but very sharp lighthouse. Congrats!!
