Portland Headlight

Thanks everybody for your comments! Here are some notes just incase you want to know...

Regarding the levels in this photograph... I took roughly 50 shots of this lighthouse, using different camera modes and settings, etc. This particular photo was taken using "night mode", which generally flattens the light, but provides deeper color saturation and nicer blues. When this shot came off the camera, it was one of the few I really liked, because of the wave in the lower left corner, and a few other reasons. But, it was underexposed!! Too dark... The only adjustment I made was to brighten the photo a bit, but did so without causing the lighthouse to "wash out" because of its bright white.

My camera has no true manual focus, although it does have settings for focal distance. This shot was set on "infinite", and I was quite surprised to find the foreground rocks sharp, but the distant subjects a bit soft... This may have been a manifestation of shooting in "night mode" rather than a problem with focus.

regards to all, and keep shooting

Excellent ... one of the few photos in the challenge that actually contain negative space --8

A little too much negative space ... is that a toe, or a thumb? A good looking pair of female feet would finish this photo --7

I like the concept. I think this type of photo, perhaps with signs that contradict each other in some manner would be very interesting. Its hard to put an emphasis on negative space and keep the photo interesting, which means the subject needs to be extraordinary all by itself. Nice shot though -8
