LIGHTING THE LIGHTHOUSE
there are sometimes those odd days when know what? i just don't care about flare and burnout....this was one! the raw power of our sun, omnipotent but caressing, enfolding, burning.
Just seconds before the lighthouse lamp had given up its ghost in acknowledgement, you can just see the last tiny heatflicker at its centre.
It's not often you can get this close to north pier lighthouse Tynemouth from the north seaward rocks at low tide as it cuts you off so ferociously on the incoming. This one was worth the risk though. I was lucky to be able to get a handful of shots with rays coming behind and wrapping around the lighthouse as the sun moved gradually higher and to the right. This was taken with my little compact. No time for long exposure though :)
it was also only moments before my previous post "Where mermaids play" [http://www.flickr.com/photos/43060509@N03/6421739775/in/photostream/] -as once safe and further back I wanted to show the scene in total softness with the DSLR.
