Castle Hill Lighthouse

In October we went to Newport for a little fun for a few days. While exploring the coast we came across Castle Hill Lighthouse. The lighthouse is on the beautiful grounds of the Castle Hill Inn. While at the lighthouse I took a few photos with a DSLR and an I-Phone. I used the new pano feature of the phone’s software to get the results shown. I put a photo of the light with the DSLR as a comparison. The phone does a pretty good job, but doesn’t have the detail and losses the highlights some. It was a gray day, but I was able to use Photoshop to make the day look brighter. Still the phone photo is a pretty good quality.

Surfcaster Montauk

Montauk Point is one of those magical places for me. I return several times a year with a camera  and photograph the lighthouse and local beaches. I never tire of the place. The Point or “The End” as locals call it, is also the surf fishing capital of the world. I rarely take photos of fisherman I would rather have a fishing rod in my hand. On this last trip with a camera a group of surfcasters were under the lighthouse and I captured this image. The light on the East end of the Long Island is special in the afternoon which makes this photo more interesting.
