Cottage On The SoundHDR image of the Whalehead Club, Currituck Lighthouse (with light illuminated). Images were taken Sept 5th, 2010 after Hurricane Earl thankfully decided to turn back to the east and spare the Outer Banks. 5 RAW images, Exposure compensation (-2,-1,0,+1,+2), merged using Photomatix Pro.
