p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Pigeon Point Lighthouse at Sunset


Taken about a couple of miles south of the lighthouse as the sun was going down. I had to shoot handheld as the light was moving fast and I did not have time to set up the tripod. Also, a bunch of guys in four wheel drives were driving around like maniacs disturbing the tranquility of the place.

Your comments and criticism are always welcome.
Thank you,
Maji

Hey Maji,

Despite the 4x4's you managed to capture a very nice scene here, I like the look of it. Now in the web version we details are minimalized there is something in the foreground on the right side that sticks out. Is it a beach chair? At least on the web it's distracting, perhaps in print it adds a nice element?

Thank you Jim for your comments. I checked again and it is a clump of dry grass sticking out. It is catching the rays of the setting sun and is now a prominent foreground element.

Lovely light and excellent shot, Maji.
Did you manage to get a pic by zooming in on the lighthouse and eliminating the foreground land?

I'm in CA once a year & a drive up #1 from Carmel to Half Moon Bay is always done. Found this lighthouse a couple of years ago & it has become one of my favorite places. I usually shoot further down the coast from where you were at at the lighthouse itself. You have gained a great perspective for this place & the lighting is beautiful. Great capture & thanks for sharing it with us

Maji,

Beautiful light man, I love the orange bath.

How do people do 4x4 in that area? Isn't it a sharp cliff drop and not a very large area to 4x4?

Thank you Dabnik and Jason for your comments.

Jason,
I took this image about a mile or mile and half south of the lighthouse. There are some space between the highway and the edge of the cliff in this area. There were two kids in their Jeeps playing there.
