As I get better at this technique, it becomes clear that there is no need for a photo to have an empty sky, ever.

It’s a truly awesome piece of engineering; the base of the lighthouse is completely submerged except during low tide. Visiting the lighthouse on a harbor cruise was an stunning experience. Unfortunately, on the day of my visit the weather was calm but hazy, and the lighting was flat and grey.

Photoshop to the rescue!

I took a lighthouse cruise on Boston Harbor, which went past about ten lighthouses, some of which are only accessible by boat. Afterwards I met my old friend JB on Cape Cod, where he was taking his usual post-Labor-Day vacation. Of course I suggested we meet at Nobska Light in Wood’s Hole. Unfortunately, the sky was not cooperative at all. Why is it that we’ve had so many days with blue skies and puffy white clouds … except Saturday? Oh, well, Photoshop to the rescue …
