Photographing Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse

Visiting Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse

For the past 14 years I have been able to visit Jupiter Florida each March.  One of my favorite activities there is to visit the lighthouse and to photograph it from various locations.  I have posted some of these photos on this blog in the past and now I want to share some updated photos from this year.  The photo above was taken on the boardwalk across the inlet from the lighthouse.  I love watching the boats passing in front of the lighthouse.

This view of the lighthouse was taken from the park that is in front of the museum.

Here is a view of the lighthouse taken from the end of the inlet just before it enters the ocean.

This photo of the lighthouse was taken through a crystal photography ball that I set on a pier across the inlet.  I have fun shooting from various angles and using new techniques.

Decorating with Lighthouses

If you love lighthouses, like I do, you probably also like to decorate your home with lighthouses. I have a display of lighthouses replicas that I have collected on my visits to lighthouses and a lighthouse lamp. In addition I have framed photos of lighthouses throughout my house.

I work with my lighthouse photos in my Zazzle store Lighthouse Enthusiast and I am very excited about the new partnership that Zazzle has just created with a company called American Mojo . This company has some wonderful products all handmade in the USA by single Moms. The objective of the company is to help moms who are at or near the poverty level and provide them employment and relief from daycare issues that usually hinders their employment.

In Zazzle's first release with American Mojo they are offering some great pillows, placemats,napkins,and kitchen towels. To my way of thinking these items just lend themselves to lighthouse decorating. Here are a few that I have featured in my Zazzle shop.
This decorative kitchen towel features Currituck lighthouse in the OuterBanks of North Carolina.

Jupiter Lighthouse at Night

I have just returned from a trip to Florida where I was able to set up my tripod and photograph the Jupiter lighthouse at night. There is a light reflecting at the lighthouse and I love the way you can see the light from the lens and the bright red lighthouse against the evening sky. You can see more of my Jupiter photos at my
JUPITER lens.
