Scurdie Ness Lighthouse Scotland.

Went out the other night to photograph the lighthouse. This is a first for me. I think I will be back again to photograph this location again in the near future..

some fairly old canon camera stuff, canon lenses, Manfrotto "thingy", and an M5, also an M6 that has had a 720nm filter bolted onto the sensor:

They're nice shots; particularly for a first time out sort of thing. Next time, give yourself some time out to play with your settings; bring a tripod (or set a beanbag on your car or something) and use that stable platform to bring your ISO down, shutter down and/or stop your aperture down. Vary the combos and see what you like. Bringing your ISO down will give you less color noise in your night sky and look a little "cleaner"; bringing your shutter speed down may/may not give you some nice effects on the lighthouse as the lantern swings, and if you completely stop down your aperture, you should be able to get a bit of a star effect off the lantern. That last won't be as crisp or nice as the effect from a 16-35 f/4, as IIRC, the 105 only has 8 blades to 9 in the other; but, it's a fun thing to play around with.

And remember; since all 3 play together, once you've determined your "proper" exposure, you can mix 'n match all 3 toward the various effects just by doing some simple math

Wow thank you for your comment I will give this a go next time I go out to the lighthouse. As said its a first for me and any help is very appreciated. Thank you again..
