    Hi nfl, couldn’t see your 1024 version on flickr either as the “all sizes” button isn’t there….

    But from this size I would say that the nice calm blue of the sea and sky around the rocks is contrasted (perhaps a tad too much) by the light which dominates the picture (and to be honest it wouldn’t be much of a lighthouse if it didn’t !).

    Would be good to see it bigger though.

    Thanks gringos.

    Pete – Aye, the lights are a bit bling alright. If the shutter speed was longer I could have put my hand over the lens when the beam passed to do a bit of burning but then my water would have turned to mush… rock and a hard place.

    Jenny – 5D MKII, the cheapo Canon 50mm lens (aka the nifty fifty), ISO800, F8, 5 seconds.

    Will try and arrange an 800px version shortly.

    Cheers

    This was resized to 800px from the 1024px version and not the original so it may not be the best quality –

    Very Nice mister NFL
    I personally don’t think the light are to bling bling. Its a light house. Bling is what they are mentioned for

    Hi John,

    I think it’s a very good photograph and makes interesting viewing.
    It’s a familiar subject but I didn’t find myself thinking I’d seen it before.

    I like the way the light is portrayed as it kinda demonstrates what the lighthouse does.

    Nice composition too.

    Cheers.

    John.

    Great shot, i like the tranquil blue of the image, i also really like the effect of the waves crashing into the water just on the bottom left.

    Thanks everyone!

    I love the range of tones you have there in the rocks and the water. Very nice exposure all round and a lovely seascape.
