Lonely Lookout Photo

Photographer’s Note

Another shot from Nubble Light. I chose a horizontal format for this shot with attention focused on the rocky foreground. The coolness in temp helped give the granite an even cooler feeling here.

Michael, what can I say, another great shot of a really fine scene. I like the angles of the stone in the fg and I notice your low tide is much lower than what I saw. Fine capture.

Hi Michael!
I think I've seen this place here, but a totally different POV!
I really like yours, where you highlight the perfect sharpness of the rocks on the foreground, but with no leaving apart the beauty of the sea, sky and the lighthouse, way back there!
TFS - Congratulations!

Hey Michael,
A very scenic shot with excellent colors. I like the low POV that puts the focus on the rocks in the foreground without distracting the eye from the lighthouse. Excellent composition!!!
Congratulations!!!
Greetings,
Natasha

hello Michael,
impressive contrast with your photos from South West, and completely different mood. I quite like the cool colours, and you're right, the feeling is one of a gray-ish and chilly days on the coast. I like a lot how you have composed the photo with the textures of the foreground rocks as a great lead-in lines, while the red building is a great colour accent. this is very well seen and presented, my compliments.

with best regards,
Kristine

Another outstanding composition made with this photogenic lighthouse and an interesting geologic setting. Wow!

The horizon is slightly off but not not seriously off.
