    Default Marshall Point Light

    This lighthouse is not photographed as often as some of the others but I love the walkway leading up to it and it has many different angles to choose from. The sky looked very promising that morning with wonderful pinks and reds........they just never made it behind the light. This is a very good example of why I love the grad ND's. I stacked a 3 stop and a 2 stop, slightly offset (for about 4 stops ND) to get the sky to look this good and bring out detail in the FG grasses. Canon Mark 3 with the 17-40mm lens at 40mm set to ISO 200 and f22 for 1/3 of a sec.
    As always comments welcomed and appreciated.

    Nice Roman, I know you PS the inside of the lighthouse. What did you do?
    I would have cropped a bit of the bottom.Start at the beginning of the pier, but then half a rock cropped would bug me. Just thoughts....

    Hi Anita,
    This was the 2nd morning out at Marshall Point............I used 5 stops of ND instead of my usual 3.............this allowed me to lighten the FG more and really darken the sky w/o darkening the light too much (as it is the brightest thing out there). The sun was also partially out hitting just the lighthouse a bit.........all I did in PS was darken everything a bit more using levels......then a bit of color balance on the blues.........and some contrast adjustment. Final step was sharpening.
    Hope this helps.
