magnetismus' photostream

shot this in dunes "Tornby Strand Klitplantage", Denmark

After sunset over northsea coast near Town Tornby.
The large dunes landscapes on the North Sea coast give me this bad weather Photo.

we see the top glashouse from Hirtshals-Lighthouse.

Hirtshals Lighthouse

The lighthouse Hirtshals is located in Northern Jutland (Denmark)

A Fresnel lens is an optical lens, which was invented by Augustin-Jean Fresnel. Originally developed for lighthouses,

enables the design principle of the construction of large lenses with short focal length without the weight and volume of conventional lenses.
The reduction in volume occurs at the Fresnel lens by a division into annular regions.
In each area, the thickness is reduced, so that the lens is replaced by a series of annular steps. Since light is broken only at the surface of the lens, the refractive angle is not on the thickness, but only on the angle between the two surfaces of a lens. Therefore retains the lens in its optical properties, although the image quality is affected by the stepped structure.

The power of the light bulb in the lighthouse Hirtshals is only 400 watts!

This shot was very difficult for me. The window glass, many window frames and the number of correction of the oblique perspective gave me a lot of work.

The interesting point is located above the imposing North Sea coastal part near Lønstrup.
again ... is this a freehand HDR with 3 exposures (-2, 0, +2 EV) processing in Photomatix and PS

I remember my vacation in summer 2011.
I have shot this photo on coast Baltic Sea in North of Denmark in little town Sæby. The harbor offers many opportunities to see beautiful boats.
This is a single RAW processed like a HDR. Use Photomatix and post-processind in PS.
