p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Point Atkinson Lighthouse


Last month I got to spend a little time in Vancouver, BC. Most of the trip was family oriented, but on the last night I got to indulge my photographic desires...we spent the evening at Lighthouse Park...I could spend a lot of time there, and will certainly go back if the opportunity presents itself. Most of my time was spent getting setup for this shot. The biggest concern was the tide coming in too much and me getting stranded on the rocks. Landscapes like this just don't exist on the east coast...I need to move to the west coast!

Thanks for looking, any comments or crits are more than welcomed. Thanks.

Wonderfully peaceful evening! We explored Lighthouse Park on a visit last year but couldn't stay until sunset - had reservations for a great salmon dinner. :-)

Travis,
At first I wasn't sure about the UWA look, then realized that allowed you to include that large-low rock. This reminds me a lot of my Bass Harbor scene with the trees, rock foreground. The pond lead-in with the shadows is a nice touch.
I like this shot alot.
Thanks for posting

I love your long, wide view - beautiful!

With respect, you will find just as stunning rocky coastline photo ops in my home state of Maine

I live about 20-minutes from this location and must say that this is one of the better shots that I have seen from Lighthouse Park / Point Atkinson.

Glad you enjoyed your stay in Vancouver!

I think I would prefer the landscape! It was such a cool spot, I can't wait to go back someday.

HI Dan. Glad you see what I liked about the wide view...I liked the rocks and tide pool leading in from the right, and the inclusion of the rocks on the left, more of an environmental portrait of the lighthouse in its setting, rather than just a photo of a lighthouse. Thanks for taking the time to look and comment.

Linda, thanks for the kind words...yes, Maine has scenes like this, and I hope to see them someday sooner than later!

Wow, that is very kind of you, I appreciate that a lot. I loved Vancouver...trying to convince my wife to seek a transfer to Vancouver!

Kind of my thoughts as well. Except my mind is now unsettled about the size relation between the lighthouse the the tree next to it However, those rock textures on the foreground are interesting enough to compensate.

Nice shot Travis. I like the comp and colors a lot. Glad you could escape for a night with your photography.
Now don't go moving. You've done the East Coast some fine justice which it deserves.
