A couple years ago we visited Tobemory ON, a little tourist
town on the very tip of the Bruce Peninsula that is almost completely
surrounded by the ocean-like Lake Huron.
In the 19th Century this was a major shipping though fare,
and with the area frequented by fog, storms and submerged rocks; the nautical
dangers created a large number of ship wrecks in the vicinity. Because of this there are also quite a number
of light houses in the area, like this one.
Many have been converted into automated, unmanned light houses, but some
are falling into disrepair, as this one is.
Buildings in disrepair though often make good black and
white photographs. This one was shot in
colour on the D2X then turned into black and white and some contrast
added. I also used a little Dodge and
Burn on the door and sky to better balance the photo and bring out some detail.
