TABLE BLUFF LIGHTHOUSE/RANCH AS IT WAS IN 1980

Posted on March 11, 2016 by Thomas Bethune

table_bluff_ranch-lighthouse_1980

Here is the Lighthouse complex as it was in 1980. The lighthouse was still there, but not operating. At the time of the photograph I believe that the complex was operating as The Lighthouse Ranch. Eventually the lighthouse was moved to Woodley Island Marina in Eureka. Almost all evidence of the former base is gone with the exception of some of the concrete piers that are visible in the preceding post. This photograph is a scan from Ektachrome slide film.

AS WITH MY LIFE, “A WORK IN PROGRESS”

HELLO – WELCOME, Thiksey, Ladakh, 2008

I am still working on the goal of effectively “colorizing” black and white photographs. I am learning more each day, but I still find that it is very challenging for me to learn how to effectively use Photoshop. I do not consider this to be a finished image, but it does show (I hope) that I am making progress in my understanding of the how-to aspects of this process.
