This red lighthouse is a popular stop for tourists visiting Gangneung and Anmok Harbour. It’s no different than hundreds of other lighthouses of the same design around the coast, so I don’t see the attraction. Maybe people just like being out on the breakwater to enjoy the sea air.
Red things are always difficult to take on B&W film – they come out black and yucky. I usually end up sticking a red filter on the lens, which turns them almost white. I guess you can do that easily enough with a digital camera (or in software after the event)?
Those ‘rocks’ look suspiciously man-made lol…

I think I may have used the Acros + Red Filter simulation for this photo to get more contrast in the skies. The ‘rocks’ are made of concrete and there is a name for them that I forget.

You need to place concrete on Zone VI, so basically if your meter is telling you 1/60th at f8, increase the exposure by 1 stop, so 1/30th at f8 (or variations thereof). It works.

I often use the zone system when using film, but with digital I can check highlights and shadows when I make the photo. Convenient, but maybe less satisfying when the exposure comes out correct.
