Clouds have returned and rain is soon expected but we had a lovely night of stars first. This was taken way up high on a promontory where there is a beautiful stone structure that serves as a viewing point. I was playing with my fish eye lens for my mentoring group's challenge, and found that (of course, why didn't I think of it?) the horizon looks crazy using it, so I fiddled with its position to find a way to use it but have the horizon straight without using the lens correction sliders in LR. This was taken from the North side of the structure looking through the door and one of the windows. I thought it made fun framing. I had planned on manually combining different exposures to get the building details but ended up preferring the silhouettes. Even though the histogram looked OK for night shooting when I took it, I ended up having to bring the exposure up a lot and got far more noise than I like. The really bright light is from a crab boat. The season's opening was delayed because of the ocean being too warm (for crab not people!), but finally has opened in time for my favorite birthday dinner.
Thanks so much for your visits, comments, suggestions, favs
@wordsmith Actually for me the crab boats make the shot...I love it when they are out in the ocean this time of year. I went up to Cape Perpetua because I wanted to capture them! To each her own. How are you?
I am not sure myself about using a fish eye lens, I have tried a couple of times on a Camon outing but never had a shot I really liked.
