When I was making this image of the Point Reyes Lighthouse, the place was swarming with tourists. However, I really wanted a photo of it as it might have looked a 100 years ago. At first, I was at a loss. I looked around a bit, and decided yelling for everyone to stand inside the lighthouse while I took a photo was a bad idea. A more socially acceptable solution was to run up the hill, duck down, and hide the pesky tourists behind the hill. I’ll admit it, I was pretty happy with myself. I think my wife was happier because I didn’t embarrass her.
Photographer’s Note: I brought this image to life by using a Pro Contrast/Tonal Contrast Recipe in Nik Color Efex Pro 4.
