 When I was at this location at the north end of the drivable portion of the outer banks islands of North Carolina, the light wasn't lit till darkness... When I returned from attempting to photograph the color at the beach during sunset there was not enough light to make a photograph with the film camera. However, the Pentax Optio S40 4MP digital camera I had with me would render an image that I could tweak a bit to get an acceptable 'documentary' image. On this trip, by dark each day, I would be so tired that I would just want to find a parking place and crawl into the back to my comfy bed and try to catch some zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz till the alarm at about o'dark thirty (4:30-5:30). So, I drove by the lighthouse looking for a parking place and pointed the camera out the window holding it against the door frame to steady it... nope, that didn't work... although the camera has a setting to make exposures as long as 4 seconds, I had to raise the ASA to 400 and after about a half dozen tries, I got out and set the camera on a tripod to steady it enough for the 4 second exposure... then, I had to tweak a bit in photoshop to get an acceptable image. This is one of those lights that pulses instead of sweeping the horizon so there was no beam projected like what I recorded when I photographed Hatteras light.
