THEME: Spooky
DESCRIPTION: First of all, this shot reminds me of a scene from Shutter Island, which is one of my favorite movies. The lighthouse itself looks very abandoned and not inviting. The rocks around it make it feel dangerous and difficult to get to. But I think the light does a lot to create the feeling of horror as well. The shadows in the lighthouse and the rocks reflects the fear of the unknown. The water looks dark and ominous. My favorite part of the lighting is the sky, which vanishes into an overexposed pure white. I am pleased that I was able to take a poorly shot image, and use that to my advantage in created a different mood. The lack of color as a whole, with the exception of a blueish tint, makes the image feel even scarier. Spoooooooky.
