Romania The genovese lighthouse
The exact location (+/- 10 meters) is attached. It is an artificial island that can be accessed by car, and the place where you can take shots with the lighthouse is on a small beach. Once you get there, it is not difficult to get an idea of how you want the images to look.
Photography Tips
Telephoto !
A minimum focal length of 200mm is required for detailed images with the lighthouse in the frame. Just as an example, the image with the Moon behind the lighthouse was taken with 600mm ( 400mm x 1.5 crop factor ). I could have cropped the image if I was shooting in full frame, but I wanted to frame it perfectly, so I put the camera in DX mode. Also as an example, the other image was taken at 310mm ( full frame ). I think that with these examples, you can get an idea of which lens to use.
I also used a tripod, but I think it is possible without, if you have a steady hand and good lens stabilization.

Travel Information
You can drive your car to the point on the map where I left the parking pin. The beach is a few meters from where you parked. Drive carefully after you arrive on the island because the road is not good. At some point you will enter a dirt road where you will need to do a little slalom through the potholes.
