Please try this shot again at night, with maybe a full moon "Behind You" so to use it to illuminate the light houses. You will need to probably use a shutter release cable, as i would expect a shutter time of at least 20 minutes, although i would sugest trying shutter lengths of upto an hour. That will test the color film (if there is some yellowing, do not worry, that is normal) :))

Gary,
Thank you for your explaination regarding the tilt of the horizon... i now understand exactly what you meant to do. It is a beautiful image (as so many before me have commented on) and again, I can't wait to see more.

beautiful Gary - good work!
This image is a good illustration where no matter where you choose to straighten - something is going to be tilted. I think I would have done the same as you Gary - level the pier the fisherman is on.

You have a gorgeous photo here. I love lighthouses and have made a project of eventually photographing all those in Michigan.
I have a lighthouse sunset photo posted on this site.
The St. Joseph ones are among those I haven't seen yet.
I don't think it is important whether or not the horizon - or pier - is tilted here. The closer lighthouse is vertical and that is all that matters.

This is fab. The bands of sunset colors is incredible.

Hmmm... it has all been said Gary. As for me... it is the warm graduated colouring and the composition. Great title too. A very evocative image. Welcome to Usefilm from me too. I look forward to seeing more of your work.
Cheers!
Jeff

A fantastic sunset image! Personally I do not see any problems at all with a tilted horizon. But you may find out soon enough that I have very liitle credibility when it comes to that subject. A classic image indeed! (9

A cracking shot, the fisherman made this picture complete.

hmmmm - I don't see the tilt - what i do see is a great sense of isolation and peace. I think the empty space above adds to this sense of being alone

Nice shot Gary! I love sunsets and this is a beauty. I like the crispness of the lights in the lighthouses. :)

I've seen many images of St Joseph's (and there are a LOT!), but this is the most creative yet. Good job for having the insight to wait.
I have to agree with Michaelle about the tilt. I understand what you're saying about the pier being crooked and the true horizon is not visible, but it doesn't change the fact that the main lightstation is "leaning" and giving the appearance of tilt. I've struggled with this challenge repeatedly, trying to get photos of architecture. There is a definite slavery to the viewer-perceived-horizon, whether or not it is parallel to the true horizon. In this case, the view is expecting the largest object, the near building, to be vertical.
I hope you don't mind, but I played with PS a little.

Actually, Michelle, although it looks like the horizon is off, that's actually the top of the pier that the lighthouses sit on, which is quite irregular and gives the impression that the horizon is sloping down to the left when in that portion of the image you can't see the horizon at all. The only place where the horizon is visible is to the right of the pier the fisherman is standing on. Hope that this helps.

Gary, Wonderful color here and the lights shining in the lighthouses adds that really fabulous touch! As always... the horizon is just a tad bit off.. It took me a minute to notice the fisherman because the rest of the image is so dramatic. Welcome to Usefilm and I am looking forward to more of you posts!
