I'm currently working on doing an entire lighthouse series in this style that I'm calling The Long Watch. There are several others in my Fstoppers portfolio if you are interested. I haven't been able to take any new shots of the NC lighthouses but I have plenty of older photos that I am revisiting to edit in this kind of style.
These are a highly endangered species, and the rescue center has this young male tiger, which they hope will breed with their already existing female Malayan tiger.
A new arrival at the rescue center. She was very friendly and very flirty, rolling about on her back and meowing, then staring at you as if she might be hungry. A magnificently beautiful animal
A small group of red kites were flying above my head, so I pointed my lens up, took a few shots, and hoped for the best. I got two decent shots out of it.
Down on the waterfront this morning, tide was out, Heron were sitting along the water fishing. There was a boat coming across the water from Bremerton heading into Port Orchard.

Hi Kyle! I don't know if it's just the perspective of your extreme wide angle lens, but this image looks unsettling to me, as the lighthouse looks far away, while it looks as if it's falling backwards as we are looking up at its top at a very steep angle.
Were the clouds in the original? The whole thing looks to me a bit cartoonish, or cut-&-paste - which of course is a perfectly legitmate artistic vision, but would seem to be a departure from, say, your recent dreamlike surreal images, or indeed your work generally as I recall. I don't feel as if I can enter this curious space.
Hey Chris. I originally fixed the perspective but the lighthouse looked weird to me so I ended up just leaving it. The clouds were not in the original. I wanted to do something different with this one. All the others have been some sort of long exposure.
I still think it looks kind of dreamlike. Maybe not as surreal. It's just different from the other ones I have done. I think that's what I like about it.
