Weekly Challenge: One Shot, Two Ways . . . Lighthouse
I took these photos of this lighthouse at Cape Blanco on a trip to the Oregon coast last year. I took photos from all different angles and these two were the ones I liked the best. Which is your favorite?

Wow, difficult choice. What I like about both is the clouds in the background that tell why the lighthouses have been so important along our coasts. Nice photography.

Thank you, Pat.
The one with the foreground detail. A better composition.
The second photo could benefit from a “rule of thirds” crop.
Thanks for the suggestion. I cropped the original (I didn’t replace it in the blog) and I think it looks better.
Both are good images! The second one is a beautiful turistic snapshot but the first one is more an author photograph; that´s why it’s my favorit
Thank you Jaime.
I love the first one because there’s so much to enjoy. A lighthouse, by nature, almost demands a vertical sweep.
Thank you, Mrs. C.
My favourite is the second one.
But I find it hard to choose…
Best regards from Stefan
Thank you very much, Stefan.
Both shot are gorgeous!
Thank you very much.
I like the first one; the eye is led towards the lighthouse.
Thank you very much.

Thank you. Do you have many lighthouses in your area? I’m always looking for more lighthouses to photograph.
Although we are quite near the coast, I think we would have to travel 80 miles to find a lighthouse.
Ethereal and simply gorgeous
Thank you very much. I appreciate you stopping by my blog and giving me the opportunity to visit yours.
NOT going to choose….both are individual images. Two different styles each serves its own purpose very well.
Thanks, David.
The second shot is more direct. Perhaps the lighthouse is competing too much with the foreground in the first…
A lover of lighthouses, I can’t decide. I love them both. Your photo looks like water color paintings. VERY BEAUTIFUL!
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
Our famous light house …love it
