12282008-Pigeon Point Panorama-2

Pigeon Point, California

Taken 10 minutes after sunset.
Strangely, the Coast Guard beacon was not turned on...
It adds so much more when we can see the light in the lighthouse as that is so central to its purpose.

4-Portrait mode shots stitched together with PTGUI Pro into a horizontal panorama

1/3s @ f/5.6 -1.75 EV 3-stop Graduated Neutral Density filter to control the bright sky full exif

Splendid photo Zane. This works better for me than the first one because it's inherently more dramatic as silhouette and contains just as much information.

Very well done. It's interesting that the beacon wasn't on. I've not seen it when it wasn't on, even on a sunny day. If you're interested, they light the huge fresnel light once each year on the Saturday closest to November 15th. I have not seen it personally, I always forget, but have seen some amazing photos of it.
