It's National Lighthouse Day, so I'm reposting my favorite of Currituck Light from last year.

No, some kid who had his back turned to the sunset the entire time and, as far as I could tell, never caught a fish either!

I'm anything but a professional. Been shooting for 10 years or so, and really got into it about 5 years ago when I retired. Had been shooting with a Fuji X-T5 until recently, but shifted to the Z8 and still getting used to it.

Thanks. Most shots taken with a Nikon Z8 and 24-70 F2.8 lense. The Miami Beach shot was taken with a Fuji X100VI.

Sunset this evening in Corolla, NC. Didn't seem like it was going to be much, but caught fire a few minutes after the sun went down.

I took this shot of the Aurora Borealis in January, outside Fairbanks, when it was -20F. As much as I don't like the heat and humidity we are having in Duck, NC these days, it beats -20F.

A beautiful ending to a day otherwise ruined by torrential rains (although my grass is very pleased). #sunset #DuckOBX #OBX

Thanks. We're luck to have a dark skies around this lighthouse (except for the few seconds every minute when the light is shining).

The Milky Way rising above the Bodie Island Lighthouse last night. Took shots to do a stack with Starry Landscape Stacker, but the new non-destructive Denoise feature in Lightroom did a better job of it. Going to have to get out there again and do another test run. #EastCoastKin #Photography.

Looked like we were going to have a pretty nice sunset, at least until the rains came about an hour before sunset. So, here we go.
