The Portland Maine Headlight located on Cape Elizabeth. I’m sure there are millions of photos of this lighthouse all over the internet but an HDR photo? Well maybe… it is a popular lighthouse to photograph. This is actually an older photo that I processed way back when. I didn’t like the results before, but now that my HDR skills are more advanced, I went back and reprocessed it. I think it looks pretty darn good now.

Yes, it is a beautiful shot, well processed
You’re right – it DOES look pretty darn good! We’re heading up that way in a couple of months and, naturally, I’ll add a couple more to the tens of thousands of pictures people have taken of this lovely spot! But I really like what you’ve done a lot!! Nice job!
