This is a re-edited image of a shot I took of Howth Harbour Lighthouse at dawn, in August 2013. This was taken in Howth, Co. Dublin, Ireland.
The shot was taken with a Nikon D800 camera using a Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8 lens with Hoya ND400 filter attached.
Today I worked with the levels to bring more colour into the shot, particularly with stronger oranges, purples and blues.
