The New Presque Isle Light

The New Preque Isle light, completed in 1871, is a more imposing structure when compared to the Old Presque Isle light. It is certainly larger, and more ornate. However, I don't feel the same attachment to it as I do to the Old Light, despite the fact that I've visited it as often. It's certainly a photogenic light, and according to this site, the design has been copied at a number of different sites around the area. As with the Old Light, it's best to get to the site early in the morning, both to avoid other tourists, and to get the best lighting on the lighthouse. These pictures were taken with my Nikon N75, and using Kodak 800 speed film. Some of my later pictures on the same trip were shot using Fuji Film of the same speed, and the color clarity and overall sharpness are drastically increased. This is just one instance of this happening, but I'm going to be paying attention to that much more in the future.
