Point Bolivar Light is in Port Bolivar, Texas. The lighthouse was built in 1872. It was retired in 1933 when it was replaced by another lighthouse.
If you look at the marble close enough, you might actually see the mess I made in our dining room when I shot this. :)

70 miles to the east these clouds were all being funneled into the northern Cascade range creating a massive downpour that I had traveled through earlier in the day. Here though they did not rain and instead created a spectacular checkerboard of dark cloud and blue sky that the sun illuminated as it set.
One of my favorite effects is the bleach bypass...Well, this image is straight out of the camera shot with the image set to bleach bypass...
Have a nice weekend everyone!

I recently got back from a wonderful trip to New Brunswick. The main aim of the trip was to photograph fishing weirs. Despite that, I just couldn't resist photographing some lighthouses, including this lovely one on Campobello Island, so I'll start my postings from that trip with a short series of lighthouse images. It will take me a while to go through and process the weir images, so stay tuned for those!
Mulholland Point Lighthouse first went into operation in 1885. It overlooks the Lubec Narrows between New Brunswick (Canada) and Maine (United States). The land you see in the background is Maine and the boats you can see are in Lubec harbour, Maine, though the lighthouse itself is in Canada.

A long exposure amde at Peveril Point (minutes after smashing a second Lee BIg Stopper - many thanks to the wife for letting me borrow hers!!). Very stormy so the tripod was as low as it could go and bungeed to my rucksack for ballast. Wonderful light though.
After the success of our workshops in Cornwall and Dorset recently, Antony Spencer and I are running a one day workshop in that will take a small group to two of the finest bluebell woods in the UK on Monday 2nd May 2011.
Just one place remains due to a cancellation. If you would like to join us please see the workshops page of my website which is linked from my profile page below.

Couldn't sleep so i took the chance to go up to Stanage to catch the sun rise.
After checking the composition i finally stumbled on the Trig point, rather than the classic mill stones.
Found it hard to find compositions in these tank traps ....

The thing about this view at Point Lobos was the tree on the right, what an amazing sight. And one pick of it wouldn't be complete unless in a pan grabbing the small bay as well.

Candid street portrait taken in Glasgow, Scotland. Not sure if she is just gesticulating to him or if he has some food stuck around his mouth somewhere. Either way I love the many stories that this image can conjure up.
The lighthouse at this site was constructed in 1870. The brick-and-mortar tower included ornate iron balcony supports and a large keeper residence with enough space to house several families. In April 1906, a devastating earthquake struck the light station. The keeper's residence and lighthouse were damaged so severely they had to be demolished.
The United States Lighthouse Service contracted with a San Francisco based company to build a new lighthouse on the site, and specified that it had to be able to withstand any future earthquakes. The company chosen, normally built factory smokestacks, which accounts for the final design for the new Point Arena Lighthouse; featuring steel reinforcement rods encased in concrete. This was the first lighthouse built this way.
The new lighthouse began operation in 1908, nearly 18 months after the quake. It stands 115 feet (35 m) tall, and featured a 1st Order Fresnel Lens, over six feet in diameter and weighing more than six tons. The lens was made up of 666 hand-ground glass prisms all focused toward three sets of double bullseyes. It was these bullseyes that gave the Point Arena Lighthouse its unique "light signature" of two flashes every six seconds. This incredible optic, that held an appraised value of over $3.5 million, was set in solid brass framework, and was built in France. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_Arena_Light
One of the coolest places I have been. Lighting was all wrong for pictures, but the area was incredible. After a very remote drive on the Navajo Indian Reservation, we had this point to ourselves and did not see a person for almost five hours. Beautiful Views, wild horses, California condors and crazy roads!
