Searching for Lights.

The article relates how marine photographer Philip Plisson took a photograph of the Pointe des Poulains Light on Belle-Île in France. The shot was taken during a stormy November day. Plisson shot the crashing waves aboard a helicopter held steady by the pilot in 80-mile-an-hour winds. The effort paid off because the shot tapped a public fascination with lighthouses and it sold more than two million posters.
