More Lighthouses… All from New Jersey…

Filed under: Photography, architecture, landscape, pic-a-week — Capn Scott @ 7:18 pm

I got a chance to get out shooting with the camera club.  What kind of a seafarer would I be if I wasn’t interested in lighthouses?  So, off to the New Jersey shore we go…

This is the lighthouse at Sandy Hook.

It’s on an old military base.

The sky couldn’t have been any prettier.

Behind the lightkeepers house…

An antique Cadillac passed by and I couldn’t resist.  And, turning it to black and white was just a given…

There were some areas 0f beach there that were stunning as well…

This is a double lighthouse called Navesink.

Very rustic and interesting architecture…

Got a chance to shoot the fresnel lens…

Barneget Lighthouse…

Shooting the lighthouse next to the Barneget Inlet.  Fitting…  a boat named “Lucky Thirteen” next to Atlantic City…  I’m sure that there is a story behind the name…

Nice contrasting colors…

A very well kept structure…

There were some rose gardens surrounding the lighthouse, and this bee was nice enough to pose for me.  If I would have cranked up the ISO and shutter speed, I could have frozen the wings…  Just not fast enough…

All in all, a nice day for shooting pics.  Again, a great time with the photography meetup group…
