As I climbed to the top of the lighthouse, I noticed a boat in the distance making its way towards us. Without a camera stand, I leaned over the rail and steadied my camera loaded with 35mm slide film. The ship soon came into view and crossed in front of the lighthouse, making for a truly unforgettable moment.
