The Christmas lights are on the lighthouse, cold, windy, dark. About 4:45 in the afternoon with the very wide 14mm f/2.8. More than several more.
As ABC used to say — up close and personal

Marshall Point Lighthouse, Port Clyde, ME. Off to a week photo workshop at Maine Media College in Rockport with Peter Ralston. This snap taken on the way up to Rockport. Maybe better ones by the end of the week. Fuji X100 — the blue is amazing, no filters on it either on the camera or post processed. Better light here.

Elevation infatuation
Yet one more elevator — this time cement instead of grain. Fully read in on how they work and completely up to speed on Buffalo.
First attempt with TopazLabs Topaz B&W Effects, pretty much a rip off of Nik's Silver Efex Pro II. Similar controls but the NIK UI is more elegant and the sliders update on the fly rather than when let go — but with the Nik stuff at 6.5x the price there should be some difference. Sky was a somewhat noisy so destructured in Viveza 2 and Glamour Glowed in Color Efex Pro then masked to isolate the effects. Storage bins dodged and burned.
Likely the last of the Sea Cruise posts for a while. Canon 7D, EF 24-70 f/2.8 at 30mm, f/5.6, 1/320, ISO 100.
