Inside of a lighthouse taken at Martha's Vineyard. They allowed us in the lighthouse and go up top so when everyone passed I shot this. The actual lighthouse externally was nice but was very difficult to find an interesting comp with a foreground other than heavy brush.Will probably post the external view in the future and see how others feel.
Dave, I love the swirl of the staircase and the light at the top of it all. I'm not sure what's going on with the white walls - is that a product of HDR or is there just a ton of noise in the image? It would help for critique-sake if you posted a bit about how you processed this and the exif data to go with the image.
Beautiful flow to this one Dave. I like the monochromatic look to this and the way the staircase enters and exits. The small bright area that lines the top on the ceiling I might evict. Love this one!
Hi Julie and Denise, First what appears to be noise might stem from adding too much of the middle slider in Nik tonal contrast. That has a tendancy to really pop the detail and sometimes can be overdone.
Denise, totally agree on evening the brighter area around the rim of the opening. After it was posted I noticed it...
Thanks for the useful comments...
