Artist's Comments

"My candle burns at both ends
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends -
It gives a lovely light."
-Edna St. Vincent Millay

Pemaquid Point Light Station, Bristol Maine.

The light at this station was originally powered by candles and a parabolic reflector. The structure to the left of the light is the bellhouse.

Tone-mapped HDR Vertical Panorama - 2 Panels, 6 exposures

I knew from the moment I started stitching this picture together that it would be something special. I'm so pleased others have come together to help me share the beauty of New England with so many in the form of a DD! My thanks goes to *wrighton363 and to ^PurpelBlur for your appreciation of my work and your decisions act on it.

My thanks also goes to you, my visitors and watchers. It is you who continues give my photography purpose. Thank you!

If we light a candle a shadow appears. The more we strive for light the bigger shadow will grow behind us.

Thanks so much Jon! I was a little worried about the skyline at first; the horizon is strangely not perpendicular to the vertical lines of the lighthouse, so when I straightened this to either the horizon or the lighthouse, the rest of the shot seemed off. I'm glad I left it as-is though, the converging angles add a bit of drama I think. Thanks yet again for the detailed crit. Love those the best. =)

Pleasure J,I think too many peeps get over critical with slanty/wonky horizons,as you can see it didn`t bother me in the slightest in this shot :thumbsup:

The sky looks great. It looks like an alien invation is about to happen. I love it. The colors and dullness of the ground adds a nice feel. Well done
