While sitting at the Captree boat basin located in Wantagh, New York on the south shore of Long Island I could see on this beautiful clear day the Fire Island Lighthouse. This is the fourth shot in a series of four that I shot that day of the Fire Island Lighthouse. In this particular shot I was able to capture the signal light as it came around and was directed right at me. I timed it so I would get it when it came around, the light rotates every 9 seconds. I was able to capture an outstretched American Flag as it blew in the wind along with several boats wading in the water in front of the beach located on Fire Island. While I stood there this was my plan to try and get at the same time the lighthouse light looking at me, the American flag outstretched and the boats wading in the water in front of the lighthouse. For more information on the Fire Island Lighthouse please feel free to read the information below;
he Fire Island Light is a visible landmark on the Great South Bay, in southern Suffolk County, New York on the western end of Fire Island, a barrier island off the southern coast of Long Island. The Lighthouse is located within Fire Island National Seashore and just to the east of Robert Moses State Park. It is part of the Fire Island Light Station which contains the Light, Keepers Quarters, Lens Building containing the original First Order Fresnel Lens, and a boat house.
