Sunrise at Boston Light

[SquarePeg]

Waking up early is always dangerous, but while I like the original crop, I feel it has too much sky and water that to me, pulled my eye upward and not so much to the two lighthouses...thus the more pano-ish crop. I did do a bit of a frequency separation to pop the contrast slightly and added just a touch more of lilac to the foreground waters. (Other than the crop, my edit could also be the difference in monitor calibration.)

Nice, I like the crop. I prefer my less contrasty, hazy version as that is more what I was trying to capture.

Nice shots.

Boston Light and Graves Light on a recent sunrise stop. Lots of haze in the ir from the wild fires up in Canada.

Nicely done. I think I like the first best it but really might depend on the display space. Of course I'm a fan of lighthouse photos anyway as there are only two kinds, good and better. Clearly two in the better class here.

Very nice. Your timing was perfect to get those colors and the calm sea. I've spent a lot of time fishing around Graves. Long lens from the Point Allerton area I assume.

Thank you.

The crop was more for social media posting. If I print it will be the full landscape. Thanks!

Thanks. Taken from Fort Revere in Hull. Not sure if that is Point Allertin area? I’m not very familiar with this spot, it was my first time there.

70-300 @300 on a crop. The closer shot is just a post edit crop of the original.
