On The Rocks Monochrome
St. Mary's Lighthouse, north of Whitley Bay on the North East coastline. We aren't short of iconic landmarks in the North East and here is another image from me of the much loved and much photographed lighthouse.
The small rocky tidal island is linked to the mainland by a causeway which is submerged at periods of high tide. While it no longer functions as a working lighthouse, St. Mary's is easily accessible when the tide is out.
I was really happy with the colour version of this which I uploaded last weekend, but did a black and white conversion when I was at a loose end the other day and now prefer this to the original. Shot from the rocky outcrop near the St. Mary's Causeway. Five RAW files with exposure adjusted tonemapped in Photomatix and then finished/converted to B&W in CS3
