The Lighthouse at the End of the World Photo

Photographer’s Note

This could be the lighthouse of Jules Verne's novel.... I took this picture in Chicago from Navy Pier. I dedicate this picture to my TE friend Darek darek1978... the master of lighthouse pictures!
I hope you like it.

Have a great weekend!

hi Sergio,
exactly one week ago I was standing right where you were when you took this shot :) I like a lot the minimalistic scene and "end of the world" feeling. I might have tried a different composition with horizon less centered though, especially since it looks as if you had intensive sky, more space could have been left for it.

best,
Kristine

The lighthouse seems have nice archtecture, but looks badly conserved. It is possible go there? I think a close view (maybe using a tele lens) could gave a better view of it.
I like the sky color and the little waves on the sea.
Regards
Andre

Bonjour Sergio.
Tu as choisi de placer le phare en plein milieu comme pour montrer que c'est bien le sujet de la photo. Belle lumière et belles couleurs.
Bon week end !

Hello Sergio,
I like this simply composition with the lighthouse in the middle of the scene.
There's a pleasant light and magnificent colors in this image.
Well done dear friend, I hope you have great week end too.
Friendly regards.
Giorgio

The concentration is on the real middle of the photo. This is also spectacular festival of blue, Sergio. Clever idea. Many thanks for sharing and of your recent visit.

Hi Sergio,
Thank you very much for dedication. I like lighthouses a lot I must admit. This lighthouse is absoutely wonderful. The lighting and colours are outstanding with nice sharpness and detail. The blue sky provides a great backdrop for the scene. Splendid work my friend!
Thanks for sharing,
Best regards,
DArek

Hola Sergio,
simple but beautiful the view of this lighthouse in the middle of the nowhere.I like the warm afternoon light that falls and bring out the details of it.Well done.

Have a nice weekend,Danos

Well, Sergio, I'll give you the "end of the world" part. You've succeeded in showing remoteness of place. I like the lighting and the colors, too. The one thing that stands out on the other side of the ledger, though, is how dead center the lighthouse is, both vertically and horizontally. I think you could make it much more interesting if a) you took the light off center and b) if image and camera permit, make it a little bigger and more powerful in the scene. It has beauty. It lacks presence.

B for effort, though.

Hola Sergio!

La magia de la sencillez! Has probado que algunas veces se puede romper las reglas (con la composicion "central") con resultados magnificos! Muy buen manejo de la luz, muy bellos colores! Felicidades!

Un saludo,
Hercules

josepmarin (33785) 2009-05-24 11:30

Hola Sergio,
el faro un poco descentrado en el encuadre y el contraste entre los tonos azules del lago y del cielo funcionan perfectamente para esta composición atractiva y elegante, a la par que sencilla y con fuerte grafismo.
Bonito trabajo, y bonita dedicatoria.
Un abrazo,
Josep

Hi Sergio,
While we are rowing and shipping below the sky and on the sea, light house seem as our only hope and vision attraction, I like this scene in peaceful and silent feels, distinct photo, nice color, thanks for sharing.

Hola Sergio:

Yo pienso que el centrado del faro funciona, dado la prolongación de lado izquiero que lo lleva a él. El punto de vista es extraordinario, con una gran profundidad de campo, aunque el horizonte no está exactamente equlibrado, pero es solo un detalle.

Bonito trabajo, John

Hola Sergio.
Pocos elementos pero una composicion bellisima, el faro capta toda la atencion en su colocacion central, preciosas tonalidades del atardecer en las nubes y el propio faro.
Saludos.
Luis.

Ciao Sergio!
Mi piace molto la composizione! Il quadro è perfetto, bella la linea dell'orizzonte che divide in due gli spazi e che in parte viene sormontata dal molo in pietra. Bello il cielo e la luce che colpisce il faro!
Saluti, Nino.
