Pigeon Point Fresnel Lighting, San Mateo, Ca.
My first time photographing the lighting of the fresnel lens at Pigeon Point. Tons of photographers were there, of course, and we were all treated to a killer sunset before the lighting. I struggled with taming the noise from my old E-1 in this shot. Couldn't quite defeat it. I probably should have brought my E-410, as it might have dealt with it a little better. At any rate, this is just after they lit it up, with a little glow from the twilight in the background.
