Steve Gallow - A Year in Photos

With this blog I have begun a journey to improve my photography skills. My goal is to take photos everyday, and post my favorite photo from that day on this blog. So far, I have learned a lot, and try to share my experiences. Many of you have made comments on the blog, via email, or when you see me in person. I really appreciate all of them. I learn a lot from each of you. I hope that you will join me in my journey, and help me along the way. I have so much to learn.

Week 49, Day 340, April 4, 2010, Goat Island Lighthouse

A trip to Maine wouldn't be complete without at least one photo of a lighthouse. The Goat Island Lighthouse is still in used to guide boats.

It's been great weather, and very warm for this time of year.

Lessons Learned:

A Telephoto lens is a must at a beach settings. The distances are deceptive, and things are much further away then they seem.

Photo details: Exposure time 1/200 sec, Aperture f/8.0, ISO 100, Focal Length 200 mm, Lens Canon 70-200mm f2.8L USM, handheld.
