This looks like an abstract, but it's a shot straight from the camera taken this weekend. All that was done to it was a slight pulling-in of the points in Levels and a crop in Photoshop. No sliders were slid. http://tonycooper.smugmug.com/Curren...0-22-42-X2.jpg I'll let you figure out what it is. I could not readily tell so I cheated and checked the Duck's and Eric's answers. I still don't know for sure. -- PeterN |

I still don't know for sure. They are correct. It was taken the other day at the Ponce Inlet Lighthouse. There is a building there that contains a number of different styles of lenses and mechanical devices used in lighthouses in the past. That is a really neat image. -- PeterN |

Fresnel lenses have been around for over 200 years, in use in US since the mid 1800's. They first used whale oil, later kerosene, then electric, though I am unaware of any Fresnel lenses in use on the West Coast now. |

There have been quite a number of fresnel lenses employed on the West Coast. However, all the fresnel lens installations on functioning lighthouses here have been replaced with automated aircraft beacons. Around here at Cambria the old Piedras Blancas lighthouse fresnel lens can be seen in one of the village parks. Also the retired Point San Luis Lighthouse fresnel system was on display at the San Luis Obispo County Historic Museum & Library until it was returned to the restored light station in 2010, where it is on display and can be viewed by visitors. http://www.lighthousefriends.com/light.asp?ID=91 -- Regards, Savageduck |

The 'Better Beamer' uses a Fresnel lens. http://www.naturescapes.net/store/be...ment-lens.html Somebody must be using them. :-) -- Regards, Eric Stevens |
