April 14, HDR Thriller (force)

Castle Hill Lighthouse, originally uploaded by Dragonmetal. Click on pic, see it in Flickr.

I love lighthouses, but, then again, who doesn't? However, this one is a bit different. The warm glow of the red light on the walls inside the cupola is fantastic, especially when set against the coldness of the overall subject. U gotta visit the Flickr page too...the effort put into posting the history of this lighthouse deserves the Thriller status in and of itself. Here it is in large size.

Yowza. Look at that overcooked halo on the right and the mud in the sky. This is the type of thing that gives HDR a bad name.
