The Witches Hat • Bandon Beach, Oregon

Hi everyone and welcome to today’s post. I freely admit that I have been absent from my usual, and consistent, blog posts. Several things in my schedule have conspired to keep from my regular postings. Some of you know that as a side activity I coach pole vault at our local high school. For the past four years I have had the pleasure to coach my daughter in this difficult event and this is now her senior year. The time I have been able to spend with her is priceless and in this last year I have concentrated most of my time to get her to the state meet. I am sure most you will understand the importance of this commitment. On top of all this is the planning and details for her graduation, prom, senior trip, preparing for college in the fall, and, well the list goes on. It is just a busy time and I am wearing many hats as the summer approaches. I have also been hard at photography for quite some time and quite frankly I needed a small break and an opportunity to recharge my batteries. As they say “to much of a good thing…..”

So for this post please enjoy a twilight shot of the Witches Hat from Bandon Beach. The shot represents the many hats I am wearing right now. I do have several photography trips lined up for the early summer including a return trip to White Sands and a visit to Carlsbad Caverns. I am really excited to visit Carlsbad as I will be able to see the twilight exodus of the Brazilian Free-Tail Bats. It promises to be a unique experience.

I hope all of you are well and I appreciate your visits to the site.

Point Bonita Lighthouse – Marin Headlands, San Francisco

Fog rolls in on Point Bonita Lighthouse, Marin Headlands, San Francisco. Shot with a Nikon D300 and a Nikkor 28-70mm lens at 35mm. Image exposed at ISO 100 at f16 for 1/30th of a second.

Hi everyone and welcome to today’s post. The coastline along California is one of the most beautiful in the world. I have had the opportunity and pleasure to shoot there on several occasions. What fascinates me about this coastline is the distinct edge that occurs between land and water. Today’s image will give you some idea how severe this edge can be. This is the Point Bonita Lighthouse located in the Marin Headlands, just across the bay from San Francisco. The lighthouse sits at the end of the Headlands and guards the entrance into the bay.

On this day I went to shoot more intimate shots of the lighthouse but found it was closed for the day. Undeterred I hiked up to an overlook point that gave me a different perspective that I had not seen before. I really liked the relationship between the small lighthouse rooted in the rocks and the massive cliff. The wind was quite brisk from my vantage point so I lowered my tripod to get the camera closer to the ground to block some of the wind. I also positioned my body between the camera and the wind direction to create a wind break. And then I just waited for the light to change. The afternoon fog began to roll in and soon enveloped the lighthouse. At one point I could barely make out the point and the lighthouse. With this image I waited for the fog to clear slightly and for the lighthouse light to come into position. A tiny bit of subtle sunlight filtered by the fog just hit the cliff as I fired the shutter.

Processing of this image was kept to a minimum to maintain the atmospheric nature of the shot. After RAW processing in Lightroom the image was finished in Photoshop but setting a White and Black Point and a Luminosity Curve adjustment for the shadows and the lighthouse. I also added a mid-tone contrast mask before adding a little dodge and burn work.

Thanks for stopping by today.
