Knowing the mind’s eye goes to light and bright first, having the Nubble Lighthouse large in the frame wasn’t critical. Using the Big Stopper, I wanted the movement it created to point to the lighthouse. And by putting the lighthouse deadcenter, I was looking to tape into a west coast landmark, Alcatraz. And the most important element to me was the coastline, I wanted it to cradle it all. So after working out the kinks in the shooting system and letting others move across the rocks, I got to where I wanted to make the shot I like the most. It was a heck of a learning experience but really like how the final image turned out.
