I disembarked from the Whidbey Island ferry with my point-and-shoot camera yesterday afternoon, just in time to run over to the nearby lighthouse and catch the last rays of sunlight before the sun disappeared behind the Olympic Mountains on the other side of Puget Sound. A compelling photograph often relies (among other things) on being in the right place at the right time with the right light. More often than not, conditions conspire against us, but in this case everything came together nicely: the right time of day, the sun briefly poking through a cloud bank to illuminate the lighthouse, lovely cloud patterns in the sky above, and waiting to snap the photo at the moment when the departing ferry was between the lighthouse and the edge of the frame.
