I had a chance to visit the Portland Head Light lighthouse and Fort Williams park in Portland, Maine recently. I thought it looked nice in black and white. Canon R5, RF 70-200mm f/2.8 L lens. We saw it at low tide, so I thought I'd try to capture the texture of the rocky foreground.

Good photo, and you definitely got the details in the shore.

As a Portland native though, it feels so wrong in B&W. It's not, obviously, but I'm so used to color photos and seeing it in real life that it's a bit jarring.

Hope you enjoyed your visit!

Thanks - I've never been to Maine before, so this was a fun trip. It was a bit cloudy when I was there (although not raining), and the colors weren't as vibrant as they could be, so I made a choice to develop in black and white. But, here's on in color, from the same day...
