After working the Currituck Lighthouse, I headed over to the Whalehouse. It’s a cool, old building that with the morning light and clouds just grabbed my attention. The range of light in the scene was 7.5 stops so I had to use HDR to capture the detail in the clouds which were what really made the whole scene. I also used the 24PC-E because the drama of the architecture was lost using a straight 24mm lens.

After I finished the above photo, my good frinds Scott Kelby and Jeff Snyder came around from the backside of the Whalehouse. They told me there were some real cool rocking chairs on the backside. I went and checked them out. They were cool but even though I played with them for a while, I just couldn’t make anything come to life. That’s OK, I really like the overall shot of the Whalehouse.
