About The Little Red Lighthouse (Jeffrey's Hook)stands proudly beneath the George Washington Bridge on the New York shore. When the light was commissioned in 1921 she served the Hudson River mariners, always keeping a good light until the USCG deactivated it in 1947. The Lighthouse was given landmark status on May 14, 1991. The lighthouse is open to the public only a few times a year, Saturday I got the chance to go up climbing thru a very tiny space but it was worth it :)

We have had the conversation of me going all over the place to shoot, this is not far from us at all. I am trying Avi, just keep trying to get better little by little. I just enrolled in a lighting workshop as I want to learn more about studio lighting which is such a pain so we shall see how much I will learn from that. Hope you're doing well and thank you for your words of encouragement.
Hugs,
Julie.

Anson Moye   {K:3480} 4/21/2008
Spectacular, dear Julie, an image that has some of the greatest sensation of 3 dimensions that I have ever seen, with the GW Bridge that goes on forever, the neutral foreboding sky that sets a tone of danger, and the little red lighthouse, safely tucked underneath the bridge, but literally overwhelmed by its enormity. What a masterpiece of depth, size, and color. You have used every millimeter of the frame for a beautiful, integrated, coherent image. No distractions in the background, no pieces that pull the eye out of the image. And the contrasting colors here are fabulous. The only thing that National Geographic might fuss about is that the horizon is a little tilted. Four big hugs for this one my dear friend. Anson

A red lighthouse under the bridge, great capture Julie, the color is really very attractive since especially of the dark clouds at the background.. I like the inclusion of the people on the picture, it gives a scale of the size of the lighthouse.
wonderful about and very good composition..
great shot!

Thank you my friend, Julie, be well have fun …also the argument its about photography, I do appreciate your abilities and work efforts.
I’m not a prejudice!!! I love the people here but it’s very hard to be like anyone else, or act like anyone else, or photograph like anyone else, I don’t know if that make sense:)

Dear,Julie, please don’t drag it ….I know how hard you try I know also it’s hard for you to accept!!!!Now the reason left my first comment
You had drug the other constrictive critic to endless instead getting to point
Straight your image and see what you learn from….but someone else did it!! also
Then you theorize the possibilities impossible taking a shot like this etc, etc,
I’m to tired and that’s the reason said have to low my expectations because there is
No way wording and wording photographer’s works, I have encouraged photographers
Also I’m allow to have my own opinion, so sharpen your skills be creative and you will have my support!!!! Is that insulting? Or unfair? Be cool my friend and don’t jump On wordy occlusions you will be all right!!!!
Regards,
Harry

Hi Harry, I am not here claiming to be an expert if you or anyone read my profile you will see that I started taking photography seriously in January, that means I am working completely with manual settings for less than 4 months so for that short amount of time I can say I am proud of what I am doing so far. I know I have so much more to learn and I know I will. Now for you to say "The fact is I didn’t realize your photography limitation and personal creativity. I’m still trying to limit my expectations to(0)"
I find that comment offensive and quite honestly I didn't expect such comment from you, someone that I viewed as a person I could learn very much from. It is one thing to provide constructive criticism like Keith and Sid did and I certainly appreciate their feedback but it is completely different when someone tries to put you down and I feel you did that by saying what you just said to me. I am well aware of my limitations regarding photography, as I said before I am not here claiming to be anything else than what I am -a beginner!
Kind regards,
Julie.

Julie, I’m not dispute you or anyone’s entitled to believe!!!! The fact is I didn’t realize your photography limitation and personal creativity. I’m still trying to limit my expectations to (0) so this way no one will get disappointed from my critics, next time I should check the photographer’s portfolio Is the only pure identity of who they‘re…also that will help avoid all my misconceptions!!!!
Cheers,
Harry

Hi Michele,
I am so glad you like it my dear friend. It was such a windy/cloudy day, I agree with you regarding the clouds, they do add to this image. Your comments always make me smile and they mean a lot to me dear Michele. Please know that.
We are off to the Amish Country in PA this weekend for a little R&R, hopefully I will be able to take some nice pictures of the countryside. Have a wonderful weekend my dearest friend :)
Hugs,

Hi Sid, Thank you so much for taking the time to do this. I really appreciate it. The sky looks fantastic, the straighting of the horizon helps a lot (I hate doing that on PS) I like the color of the lighthouse on my picture better as I am not a fan of very saturated colors but that's just me. Again, please don't apolize I am here to learn from people like you who are much more experienced than I am. Thank you so much.
Have a great weekend.
Best,
Julie.

Hey Harry, me getting offended by Keith's constructive criticism? NEVER! Keith is a fantatstic photographer and I admire his work very much, learning from him is a huge plus for me.
What I did was try to explain how I felt when I was there afterall I was the one taking the picture. I also don't believe that a non straighten horizon takes away everything in a picture but that's my opinion and I am entiled to one and so is everyone else, including you dear Harry so I appreciate your comment.
Enjoy your weekend.
Best,
Julie.

Hi Julie,frankly speaking the angle u have choson for the photo is realy a difficult one , u know to manage the tilt and all the elements, I tried to rework on your photo using Capture NX , straightened a bit , darkened a boit ( the sky to add drama) and saturated a bit...I did it without your permission though, I hope it would be pardonable as the intention was honest ..... Sid

Hi! Julie, I totally agree with, Keith Growden comment, but seem you pull great resistance
Also you wrote

I may have had trouble keeping my horizon completely straight but honestly I don't really think you can keep both straight because of the angle of the bridge.

Which is truly unreal, any way in my opinion try to rework also its important not to get offended because doesn’t help:): now those positive comments for your picture truly undermined the world of photography and that is the reason couldn’t never be able to understand the obvious why!!!!!!!!!
Cheers,
Harry

Ok. You win lol. Yours is a lot better. Found where the lighthouse was standing and saw why you did what you did. Think i would have still straightened horizen a bit and if you have photoshop, you could have straightened Lighthouse. Sorry havnt tried that so cant explain how. :))) Have fun and dont get dizzy.:)) Keith

It is pretty much underneath. Do me a favor my dear because now I am curious if it my eyes, do a search on google for "the little red lighthouse" and click on images and let me know what you think by the images you see. Thanks :)

You may be right Julie. Hard to tell when looking at a monitor. Not like being there. Also im not sure if the lighthouse is under the bridge or along side it. :)) Awesome bridge. Maybe one day, ill get to have a look in person. :)) Hugs. Keith

Julie Salles Julie Salles   {K:22654} 4/18/2008
The sensation of vertigo when you look up at the bridge is pretty intense Keith, at least for me, perhpas why I may have had trouble keeping my horizon completely straight but honestly I don't really think you can keep both straight because of the angle of the bridge but it could be my eyes...haha, I was 'born' dizzy...haha. It was actually a warm day despite the heavy winds.
Thank you so much for your feedback as always my dear friend.
Hugs,
Julie.

Keith  Growden Keith  Growden   {K:29240} 4/18/2008
Hi Julie. You have great detail and colours here. Looks cold. I can see you had a problem in whether to keep bridge or lighthouse straight. I think maybe if you had moved around to your right more, you could have had it all straight including the horizen. I feel it would have looked better. My opinion only. :)) Keep up your great work. Hugs. Keith
