The beautiful early morning blue sky behind the lighthouse with the low sun light made for a warm traditional image.

  Branch/Siding
Wood on Wood. Some one attached a dried branch to the siding of a building as a natural artistic effect. Using a monochromatic color scheme helps to move it out of the natural world.

  Cliff House at "The Clearing"
I shot this pix with a 24 mm lens and no flash. While standing in the open doorway I turned the camera vertical on the tripod and took four overlapping views with 7 pix in each view for a total of 28 pix. These 28 pix were then combined into this one image. The room was dark and the light coming in the windows was very bright.I used Photomatic Pro software to balance the the shadows and highlights.

This was shot with a Canon G10 point & shoot camera and then tonemapped to bring out the details in the rocks. I also added a color tone to a B&W image.
