While away visiting my mum recently, I wanted to get some amazing shots of the lighthouse in Port Fairy after being told of its existence a couple of days prior.
The first day I went there I got to the car park right on golden hour but I had not been told about the 1.1 km walk out to where I could try to capture some amazing shots and being unfit, knew there was no chance of making it before losing the light, so went back home to where I was staying.
The next day I went much earlier. I had intended on stopping at another location on the way and getting a few shots there as well but decided against it and just went directly to the lighthouse. As I pulled up at the carpark, I noticed a storm starting to brew a ways out to sea and it appeared to be moving closer to the coast. I was hesitant at first because I didn't have any wet weather gear with me but decided to risk it because I was not sure when I would get another chance to make the shot.
I was right, the storm was coming in but it hadn't made landfall when I got to a position that I could capture something amazing.
So, as the beautiful light of the setting sun, radiated its golden hues across the land behind me and with a storm fast approaching land in front of me, I started snapping shots.
This was the best of them. What do you all think. I am calling it,
Storm at Sea during Golden Hour at Port Fairy Lighthouse.
