Join Tim Grey for an in-depth discussion in this video Lighthouse at sunset, part of Travel Photography: The Maine Coast.
- I'm at the Portland Head Lighthouse, just outside of…Portland, Maine and one of the things that's great about…this lighthouse is that the best shots are from the south…roughly and that means that twice a day we get very…good light on this subject, in the early morning,…and in the late afternoon.…Those are the best times to photograph anyway…and in both cases, during sunrise and sunset,…or late afternoon and early morning light,…we get very good light on the light house.…I'm here in late afternoon light and so the light is coming…in from the left hand side illuminating the left…side of the lighthouse, casting the right side in shadow,…that creates a little bit more of kind of a dramatic…feel almost because we've got a lot more light…and dark playing through the scene.…
At sunrise the light will be coming from the right…and illuminating the face of the rocks and the lighthouse…from the right hand side obviously.…And so both are very interesting,…I think the late afternoon light is more interesting,…perhaps a little bit more dramatic,…
