Castle Hill Lighthouse is located on Narragansett Bay in Newport, Rhode Island at the end of the historic Ocean Drive and is an active navigation aid for the United States Coast Guard and boaters entering the East Passage between Jamestown, Rhode Island on Conanicut Island, and Newport, Rhode Island on Aquidneck Island. The lighthouse was completed in 1890 on property formerly belonging to the famous naturalist, oceanographer, and zoologist Alexander Agassiz of Harvard University.

This an old picture that I took during my east coast days. This photo was largely abandoned since I had trouble getting a decent enough output from focus stacking the four images. I wanted to try my luck again with all the advancements in photoshop in recent years and lo and behold photoshop processed a great output this time with great focus across the frame. While processing the image, I had a feeling that this shot will work better as a black & white as the colors were pretty mute from this angle but contrast was plenty with this image. So I showed my wife both the color and monochrome outputs and she voted for this one. Thanks for visiting.

Its been a while since I posted any lighthouse pictures. As a landscape photographer, one architecture element that fascinates me is lighthouses. The fact that usually they are located on a rocky and exciting coastline is just a bonus. I love everything about lighthouses, the history, architecture style, and about the fascinating characters who managed them.

I have posted today's image before on Flickr, albeit in b&w format. But this setting is so pretty, and I decided to re-upload them in full color. The lighthouse is called the Castle Hille lighthouse, and its located in the Narragansett Bay. It's one of the star attractions of the Rhode Island coastline, and I took this shot just before I moved to sunny California.
