It might seem I’m on a lighthouse binge, but when in Maine, what else do you do? MMW provides an assistant, Brendan, who happens to be a really good one and has been coming up with some great shoots. This morning it was the Rockland Breakwater Lighthouse.

It’s about a mile walk out on the breakwater to reach the lighthouse. It was a blustery, gray day making perfect conditions for B&W photography. Using the same technique I used on the Solon School House, all I had to do was line all the lines up and finish in the DD. I’m liking this shot.

Once at the lighthouse, I walked all around it looking at the photographic possibilities. Up on the 2nd deck I spied this bench and instantly I saw the photo of the day for me. Putting the 16Fish on, I got down low, lined up the horizon and space and made the click. Keeping this unique bench going through the dead center of the frame keeps it from bowing, but the boardwalk and sky has one heck of a curve. I’m lovin’ this shot!
