SplitRock Lighthouse

[JimFox]

This is from this morning. In my search for fall colors in Minnesota I have come up along the North Shore of Lake Superior. And of course I had to come and see SplitRock Lighthouse, a subject I have admired and drooled over for years. So it was awesome to shoot it for sunset and then the following sunrise.

This image is from the rest area just before the SplitRock Lighthouse State Park. There is actually a “selfie station” there. Of course I don’t do selfies so instead I stood on the brick wall and got this view.

I can probably edit this to look better, it’s a Sony A6400 photo that was sent to my iPhone and edited there. So my edits are simple global adjustments.

All comments are welcome,

Jim

Great color show and a neat lighthouse/outcrop. I look forward to seeing your sunset/sunrise shots from here.

Great color, Jim and a beautiful lighthouse.

Nice location and the fall colors appear to be close to peak. Looking forward to your golden hour shots.

That's quite a view. And quite the teaser, too! Looking forward to more.

Nice one, esp. with the simple processing.

Great color and view, glad you caught it with these conditions.

Nice work Jim. Such a pretty area and the color looks terrific. I was out there early morning years back and almost froze to death

Ha ha, it’s been cold here! Almost freezing, so I have been bundling up.

I am glad you liked this!

Thanks Mike!

The Sony has smaller files and is easier to shoot Raw and JPG. So it’s easier for me to process on my iPhone while traveling. I have the same exact shot on my Nikon that I will process later. The Sony is in essence an enhanced iPhone camera I can use for posting here when on the road.

that's a pretty cool view of the lighthouse. can't quite figure out the whole selfie thing... people belong behind the camera, not in front of it.

Funny, that's my take on it too.

I am glad you liked the lighthouse!
