Best on black. On our way back down the hill from the lighthouse, I shot the rays and was delighted to get stars too. I see it is darker than it should be on the 365 site but I can’t go lighten it on my computer because we are off early on a day trip for my birthday.
Thanks for your visits, comments, suggestions, favs
Happy Birthday, Jane! And a day trip to celebrate -- how nice. I love t his photo for its portrayal of a magical scene, and the composition is so effective. The color balance of lighthouse light and night sky work well, too. But also, it's symbolic as a birthday celebration! It was fun watching you demonstrate the LR and PS magic tricks on this image.
Happy B-Day! Nice capture and edit. I've done the same here in California for lighthouse shots and editing gets tricky especially when combining tow or even three images to get a nice foreground, the shinning light and then stars or Milky Way. Hope you had a great day trip!
ooooh, birthday! Yay! Mine is January 21st. That will be a special day, indeed. All the best to you, light, happiness, and friendship in the next year ahead. xoxo
Hope it was a great day trip!
Fabulous photo of stars. Congratulations.
