Fanad Head is one of those lighthouses I keep going back to. This was made well after sunset, probably around half ten on a summer evening, with the beam already sweeping through low cloud. The keeper's cottage still had its lights on, which gave the whole headland a sense of life against an otherwise empty sky.
I'd been waiting for the water to settle. The wind had dropped just enough to let a long exposure flatten the surface of the inlet, and the rocks in the foreground held their detail nicely against it. Across Lough Swilly, the Urris Hills had gone to silhouette. Sometimes you wait hours for a scene to simplify like that, and sometimes it just happens!
What drew me to this composition was the lighthouse doing what lighthouses do. Throwing light into darkness. It's the whole point of the place, and it makes for a remarkably dramatic photograph when the conditions line up.
