I had a chance to visit the Portland Head Light lighthouse and Fort Williams park in Portland, Maine recently. I thought it looked nice in black and white. Canon R5, RF 70-200mm f/2.8 L lens. We saw it at low tide, so I thought I’d try to capture the texture of the rocky foreground.

    Good photo, and you definitely got the details in the shore.

    As a Portland native though, it feels so wrong in B&W. It’s not, obviously, but I’m so used to color photos and seeing it in real life that it’s a bit jarring.

    Hope you enjoyed your visit!
