A few shots of the Cape Blanco Lighthouse...


First, from the outside, in the fog. Notice the cyan shift in the corners? That's what happens when you mount the WATE on the M9, but accidentally leave lens-detection set to Manual with the 90 Elmarit selected :)




A couple of cool shots of the spiral stairway, with the WATE...







Ever wonder what the light and lens look like at the top of a lighthouse?

Here's the huge freznel lens, with the surprisingly small 1000 watt light inside (WATE @ 16mm, incorrectly set to 90 elmarit)...

Mike,your work here has a truthfulness and naturalness that really draws you in and connects me with where you are.I think the M9 fits you like a glove and youve started my brain ticking over on how it could obtain one....Very enjoyable.....Neil.

I'm with the others here - these are lovely Mike. It's interesting in that we have a seaside village on the Suffolk coast called Orford - great oysters are available - it also looks rather the same.

Thanks for all the comments. The trip was a lot of fun. I'll be loading up some nice ocean sunset shots later this evening.

These are amazing shots, Mike. You make M9 sing. LR3 seems to be a big improvement over its predecessor.

Mike - Superb!

It seems the locations have revealed to you their secrets, splendor, and mystery.

Wonderful images, Mike! They certainly should give pause to folk who say that RF cameras are out of place in landscape photography. :thumbup:

Folk who say this are talking about film cameras,because what you see through a rangefinder is not what comes out on film.A digital range finder has a DSLR screen stuck on the back which makes it as suitable for landscapes as a canon 5d.:)
