Dawn At St. Mary Lighthouse
I think thousand images of St.Mary Lighthouse, an icon of Tynemouth, UK, have been captured all these years. My first impression of this lighthouse was in 1996 when I was here to judge the NCPF International Salon. I remembered the image was shot in colour transparency. I am back again in September this year to judge the 40th NCPF International Salon. For this visit, I decided to capture the image of this icon in digital format. The soft light in the morning touched the side of the lighthouse. I love the effect of such the lighting condition. The figures in the image aptly added a scale to the lighthouse.
To judge the 40th NCPF International Salon gave me an opportunity to stay at Whitley Bay, UK. The seafront is just within a stone’s throw from my hotel. Such a location gave me a rare chance of enjoying the sea breeze and sunrise every morning. The gorgeous colour of the tide at the beach is what I enjoy most. I really love the brilliant colour and curves formed by the waves at this lovely beach.
