New Brighton or Perch Rock Lighthouse

A similar image was posted on 29th June of this lighthouse. I made this photograph on the same day, and as I said in the Instagram post a few minutes ago I am more pleased now than I was then with this picture and the one I posted the other day. When I look really closely I think it may be that I have managed to control the midrange tones. Even more specifically I think that these tones have a greater contrast than in the initial processing I did in the hours and days after the visit to New Brighton. The original photographs were truly black and white in that they had the gamut of tones from black to white, but I think some of the extra punch that goes with a satisfying black and white was missing. If you want to let me know what you think of this and/or the earlier one, be my guest and write a comment or message me using one of the myriad of media available. A larger shot can be seen here
