Nice shot Geoff.

Brings back memories from a very long time ago...parents used to have a static caravan on Presthaven Sands, and we often used to walk to the lighthouse...when we as kids weren't leaping off the fabulous sand dunes a short walk from the van.

regards

Karlo
The area is gorgeous, once all the doom and gloom is out the way, think I might take the wife for a long weekend. Can walk the beach and enjoy the sense of wilderness.

Well shot and worth the effort in getting there, might be worth a tweak in post to lose the converging verticals imho.

Does the horizon slope left to right very slightly ?
Thanks for the comments Chris, horizon sloped to the right by 0.027° good eyes - Corrected now - I think the darker pixels on the far edges were creating an optical illusion of a greater slope, I have toned that back a little. Any better?

I'm not sure i follow with the converging verticals? The light house is wider at the base than the top, its leaning to the right and backwards into the sea due to storm damage. I did think about correcting that however, the purists will then moan its not leaning as it does in real life, i suppose they are correct, I wouldn't fix the tower in pisa either

Last adventure past the back garden for the foreseeable future.
What was supposed to be a simple drive up from Worcester to Talacre to photograph the lighthouse at sunrise turned up to be a frustrating game of follow the diversion. Even the local bobby pulling the 4am shift could not offer any help in the matter.

We did finally make it and it was a bit of a dash to get to the beech. All in all a challenging and difficult shoot for me.

Image is amazing, but I think I would have processed this a bit differently. The Vignette is overpowering for me as is.
I agree
thank you for the feedback.

Great timing in this one, and the birds add a lot to the image. The vignette is fine by me, but I'm sure none (or less) would work equally well.
Thank you Sry.

Cracker of a shot,
Having just attempted my first similar shot, it can be very hit and miss as to whether the weather plays ball and provides the drama,
Well theres no shortage of drama in this.
Pp aside, it's a cracker.
Should be pleased with that one.
Thank you Derek, Sorry for my tardy reply, I have recently got back from a weeks adventuring on Skye so have been preoccupied in working through the images taken.

Thank you for your comment Richard, one other person has also provided similar feedback, something to keep in mind for the next time.

You can almost hear that. Wonderful image.
Thank you. It was blowy for sure. At one point, I nearly went over, camera/lens+hood acted like a sail and it took considerable effort to hold on to it and not slip over in the process. Exciting but you realised there are limits. Some folks in said conditions were making their way down to the exposed rocks at low tide! Carrying camera gear in hand!
