Charlotte-Genesee Lighthouse at Night

Charlotte-Genesee Lighthouse at Night
Made by snowgen
This is the Charlotte-Genesee lighthouse, at the mouth of the Genesee River near the shore of Lake Ontario, in Rochester, NY. The light was activated in 1822, making it the second oldest lighthouse on the Great Lakes. The current structure was built in 1863. The light was originally on the lake's shoreline, but over time a half-mile strip of land built-up between the beach and the lighthouse. The result was a Supreme Court case when Massachusetts claimed ownership of the land. The lighthouse was deactivated in the early 1880's and is now a museum. The site also marks the site of a British raid during the War of 1812. This is the shot I've been hoping to take for a while. I finally was able to pull it off. This picture received a little post-processing (I generally don't do any other than rotation), but the color of the sky is real. It's is a combined effect of the long (30 second) exposure time and the reflection of the neon and other lights from the shore reflecting off the cloudy sky. The only tweaks were a gaussian blur to remove the graininess and air-brushing some power lines out.
