After getting home, the lighthouse keeper sent out a note to a private group that he was going to turn it back on Monday, July 31, for the anniversary of Split Rock (initially it was just Friday as they get more pepole on a weekend). Suprisingly there was hardly anyone there but millions of mosquitos were, but what was nice was the beacon was steady for an hour; so he had it spinning an hour, then put it still for photographers and I kind of like this one. More to go through, but the beams are nice I think, and wildfire smoke I think ehanced them a bit. Thanks for any feedback; it's a dark image, but it's night. Moon would have been nice to light up the rock a bit but no complaints.

Classic. Love it!

Another beautiful image of this location. My only feedback is that IMO the reflection at lower left dominates the image. Cropping to 16x9 format with all of the crop removed from the bottom balances the image a bit better.

Awesome. When I see it though the reflection blinds me. Maybe as suggested a crop. Still - a terrific shot.

Thanks - I did crop a bit. Better?

Yes. Way mobetta IMO. This is really a unique shot.

Quite beautiful. And nice that the keeper put the light on beam for photos.

Nice shot and so great that you can get notifications from the lighthouse keeper.

It's nice of him to let some people know; there's a small facebook group and he posted it there, but the historical site wasn't doing a big promotion of it. Hope to get back when they do it again down the road.

Lovely shot and I agree with the comment about the reflection.
I wonder if instead of cropping, a gradient dimming it towards the bottom might be an option?
