This picture is not the one I wanted, but I'd sat in that spot for nearly 30-minutes, snappy my camera trying to get the shot.
This is Portland Lighthouse, of course, on the banks of the walking path that circle the property. If you're looking at the lighthouse, there is this tiny fraction of a second during which the lighthouse beam is shinning full on you. It's so bright, I'm sure it would create some interesting light effects on the image.
I was trying to capture that instant -- but it's nearly impossible with the delayed shutter action of my digital camera. This is the best shot of dozens of other shots in which I completely missed the rotating light altogether, or too soon before or after the beam had swept past my position on the rocks.
Apollonius of Perga is surely not pleased with my efforts, and probably could have done much better.
