For this abstracted image, I tried a new technique. In the past, I have used a 50mm lens and swung my camera around, or I have adjusted the zoom or focus while the shutter was open. But I had the idea to hold the lens still using the zoom ring, and then rotate the camera body. I tried this a few times with an all white lights Christmas display, and then a few days later I found this solitary Christmas Tree to photograph. This technique has the potential to be one of my favorite abstract processes.
Using the information on lighthouse locations from LighthouseFriends.com, I’ve created a map of each lighthouse that I’ve visited and photographed. (The numbers are listed in the order that I first visited each lighthouse, hence the wonky order; and, yes, I know that I need to make it back to a few of the lighthouses to do them justice.)
