Perched on a rocky headland along the Acadian Peninsula, this compact lighthouse painted in the bold red, white, and blue of the Acadian flag makes for a striking and colourful subject against the open sky and sea. The flag colours pop best on bright overcast days when the light is soft and even, avoiding the harsh shadows that sunny midday light can create on the white sections. Shoot from below the rocky base to emphasize the lighthouse against the sky, or pull back for a wider composition that includes the surrounding shoreline and water. A standard zoom in the 24-70mm range works well here, giving you flexibility between tight detail shots of the flag colours and broader environmental portraits. The site is easy to access and open to visitors, so take time to walk around the structure and find the angle where the ocean fills your background. (Grande-Anse, New Brunswick, Canada)
