Point Bonita Lighthouse

Photographers at Point Bonita Lighthouse

Karthik wanted to show me a lighthouse with easy access and dramatic surf.  The day we chose was dreary and heavily overcast - perfect for black and white.

Since the sky had little definition, I shot without any filters and let it go white.


I've been taking the F1 with me on every shoot.  I absolutely love the rugged simplicity of this body.  I've almost always got it paired with my new favorite lens, a Canon 24mm/f2.8 (new FD)  prime.  Today it was loaded with Legacy Pro 100, essentially rebadged Fuji Acros.

This negative was damaged.  Online the distress
lends an effect that isn't universally displeasing.
Printed, there's little charm.
