Portland Head Light

It seems to be somewhat of a tradition in our family these past years to visit Portland Head Light on Labor Day, at least on Labor Days when the summer is going out in the best Maine Style: Windy, clear, with just enough clouds to add interest to the sky.

And this is a classic Portland Head shot from what is perhaps the classic spot. Nothing out of the ordinary, but, as I say, enough interest in the sky to make it a memorable portrait of the Light.

Sony DSC H50 at 31mm equivalent. F5.6 @ 1/1000 @ ISO 100. Programed auto. -.7EV Exposure compensation to help hold the white of the lighthouse within limits.

Recovery for the sky and lighthouse whites in Lightroom. Blackpoint slightly to the right. Added Clarity and Vibrance in the Presence panel. Sharpen landscape preset.
