Their fascinating coastal locations and the superb romanticism that surrounds them make the lighthouses an excellent and popular subject for photographers at different ages and level of abilities. Some lighthouses are best to be photographed at any time of the day but the glow of the morning light will make them look better or the in the evening when their light is in operation. One real factor that affects lighthouse photography is the weather. Capturing the waves crashing against the lighthouse or rocks nearby makes it more dramatic. With low light in the middle of the brewing storm skies is one of the best. Lighthouses are there to warn and protect seafarers from rocks and shallow waters. By including both waters and rocks in your composition, you are telling a complete story of a lighthouse.
Here’s a Collection of Beautifully Captured Lighthouse Photos for your inspiration. You’ll surely enjoy browsing at the fascinating photos of strikingly tall structures on coastlines. Check them out!
