Lens-Artists Challenge #190 – Close and Closer…

Posted on March 16, 2022 by mvobsession | Comments Off

Gay Head Lighthouse, Martha’s Vineyard from one side and walking around to the other side I looked closer and there was my daughter.

I didn’t realize that shown in the window behind the bike were my daughter and our friend until I looked closer.

Sailing home from Martha’s Vineyard if you look closer out the window of the ferry Island Home you can see West Chop lighthouse.

Not a fly on the wall but on a window of the Gay Head Lighthouse, Martha’s Vineyard.

I love glass so this has been a fun blog post to put together. I’ve tried to keep the number of photos down

This photo is inside the Gay Head lighthouse on Martha’s Vineyard, it shows the expanse of glass and the glass of the lenses on the light.

Also on Martha’s Vineyard, window at the entrance to the Tabernacle, window at top of stairs and dewy barn window early in the morning.

Shattered glass…

Original Fresnel lens from the Gay Head lighthouse in Aquinnah on Martha’s Vineyard on display at the MV Museum. It was awesome to step inside this prism.

This week’s assignment – Use strong backlighting (i.e. shooting towards the light source, but do not look directly at the sun) to create a contre-jour image where the subject becomes a silhouette, OR shoot the light through flowers or leaves creating a transparent effect.

My choices are:

Photo For The Week Challenge: Circular…

Posted on May 13, 2020 by mvobsession | Comments Off

My choice for circular is the Gay Head Lighthouse in the town of Aquinnah on Martha’s Vineyard. Five years ago the lighthouse was only 46 feet from the edge of the cliffs and was moved to a new location approximately 180 feet from the edge. On May 27, 2015 the preparation for the actual move began. The move was was completed on May 30, 2015 and the lighthouse reopened that August.
