Anybody think it's too light and tilting to the left? Easily fixed, BTW.

Great shot... I have one almost exact hanging on my wall..


Thank you very much, ski; Portland Head Light is a much photographed lighthouse. It was commissioned by President Washington in 1791.

Rob, excellent photo and DDL shows off the sharp details. I am also thinking of a mirrorless body but always ask myself why. One of these days I may be able to find out why.

Thank you very much, MT; no, it isn't at all heavy. It' s small and light because it has fewer parts than a DSLR.
Attached is a photo I just took with my cell phone.


Thank you rob...I appreciate the info and picture.

Thank you for your comment.


You're welcome but I don't know exactly what your reply is trying to show. I don't think my eyes are wrong on this. Is there a leaning tower of Portland? And there simply are no blacks in your original image.

I stand corrected as it were; usually I am OCD about this sort of thing. If I question my alignment, I usually put up the grid and correct the photo. As you can see in the attachment, the bottom layer, highlighted in green is the photo before I tried to correct it, focusing on the the lighthouse keeper's building. In green is the photo alignment I posted. Obsessing with the keeper's building, I neglected the tower. I was a little offput by the pontificating attitude you took. With the Anybody think it's too light comment, you apparently didn't see the first photo https://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-638844-1.html

I lightened it at commentor's request.

Sorry. The horizon was perfectly level but it took a Skew to straighten the tower and then you lose some width to the frame that you can fill in with Content Aware. Happens to me a lot in my shots and I obsess over it and have to adjust in post but not a big thing I guess. Thanks.

By the way, I believe I feel the same way politically as you.
