- ISO100, F11 (I was rushing to catch the light, should have opened it up a bit, f8 would probably have been a bit crisper), 0.6 seconds. 93mm.
Ardgour lighthouse on the West Coast of Loch Linnhe, South of Fort William, in the Scottish highlands.
I frequently get asked what I do in the way of processing, is it of interest over here if I post what I did to edit a shot?
This didn't need much, nature had done the hard work for me. I shot it with a Canon 5D Mk3 with 24-105 towards the long end (93mm), a 2 stop hard edged grad right down to the horizon, to stop the sliver of bright light over the peaks blowing out. This meant I had to life my shadows a touch in post. In lifting those shadows the lighthouse became a touch cold, so in Capture One's colour editor I desaturated it back to white again. A bit of auto levels (cheating but C1 does such a good job), then to Photoshop for dust spotting (I use the camera raw filter and its visualise dust spots), back to C1 for metadata and exporting.
