Histogram, the Key to Understanding Exposure

I have added a new article to my website. Let me know what you think. I believe it will be helpful to the novice photographer as well as the more advanced.

Images from Lighthouse and Seascapes Photo Workshop

These are a few photos taken by Tanya Gills on our Lighthouse and Seascape Photo Workshop. This workshop started out with an introductory slide show and critique Friday evening. Saturday morning we made it to Cape Hatteras Lighthouse before sunrise. Next we went to Bodie Island Lighthouse where we photographed the unusual sight of Bodie Island shrouded with scaffolding, something never seen before. After our break, it was to Jockeys Ridge State Park for some late afternoon sand dune photos. Then we stopped by the Outer Banks Pier on are way to photograph sunset at the Manteo waterfront. Sunday morning it was up to Corolla to photograph the Currituck Beach Lighthouse and the beach as the sun came up. We then had a small critique of the photos that were taken, over coffee and said our goodbyes. What a great weekend!
