A quick visit to the point of view of Heceta Lighthouse during the day provided a good glimpse of the spot, but it was full of people and cars. Returning after sunset was the right move. Now, the entire place was available just for me.

My big lens brought the scene close enough, and after several trials and errors, I found the right settings to start capturing it. It required a long exposure while covering the lens at intervals to help the light point in one direction only.

There was some challenge to it, but in the end, I was pleased with the results as it enhances the lighthouse with what a lighthouse has to do - be a beacon with its light.
