Took about twenty shots of this lighthouse at different angles and I think this one is probable the better out of the bunch.
As you can see it looks like it's going to pour rain and it did, right after I hit the remote switch. Needless to say I was stuffing camera gear in the back pack pretty darn quick.

Two images with two different exposures from one RAW, PP then flattened and sharpened.

Thanks for looking.
C&C welcomed

This is really nice fran, however the building to the right is slightly distracting, maybe a tighter crop?

Wow! This is awesome. I love the color, composition, mood. I especially like the wooden walkway leading you into the image. Great job. I would be willing to risk getting my equipment a little (just a little) wet to get this shot.

I don't have anything against Nikon cameras, just the people who use them.

That is an exceptional shot, Frank. Looks like the new lighthouse at Cape Spear, taken from the walkway/stairs that lead to the old lighthouse. Way to go, my friend.

Just to echo what others have already said, great shot Buddy

I just love the mood the falling light produces just before a rain storm, you've captured that well :)

Another stunning shot Frank. Perfect lead in on the bottom left and, man, you couldn't ask for a better sky. It has sort of a 3-D feel to it too. Really a great job! :grin:

What stands out for me is the horizon, it absolutely glows, which gives a nice warm feel to the image, even though you have that angry sky, and yes, you need to get rid of that building on the right. :)

Good work.

Concentrate on equipment and you'll take technically good photographs. Concentrate on seeing the light's magic colours and your images will stir the soul. - Jack Dykinga

WOW very dramatic.

Agree about cropping some off of the right tho.

Other than that :cool: .

+1 for cropping out that building, but an awesome shot nonetheless.

What a foreboding sky!
