First Light

[Tom Narwid]

It was a very very cold and windy spring morning at the Portland Head Light. Tripod legs and my feet were in the water with sea spray constantly hitting the 4x5 camera lens. I got out of there after the shutter clicked on this one.

Wow, this is simply beautiful. Love it.

 

[Jameel Hyder]

Love it. The light is nice and the choice of shutter captures the force of the water very well.

Love the light - very nice glow on the lighthouse.

Hey Tom,

I am sure liking this! I like that warm golden tone.

No wonder you left after you got this shot, this sure nailed it.

 

[Jon Buffington]

Very nicely done! Would you care to share the emulsion you captured this on with the 4x5?

Jon,
Fuji Provia...iso 100.

Awesome shot Tom. I love this lighthouse and capturing the breaking wave in the foreground really completes the composition.

Jon,
Fuji Provia...iso 100.

Thank you and nicely done with the provia! The dynamic range looks somewhat difficult to completely capture with slide film, thought you may have used a color negative.
