    Big Sur Lighthouse

    Several shots of a lighthouse tour in Big Sur, California.

    I took these a few yrs ago and just got around to scanning them. Don't remember too many of the details, other than the guide saying that the fog sometimes gets so thick that you almost can't see 20 yds in front of you. The lighthouse sits on top of a big hill that's a bit of a hike to get to..

    GB,

    I really like your first picture. I like how the beam cross the frame at angle, the subtle tones on the lights themselves, the various patterns, the sharpness. I think that this picture would take advantage of a border for web displaying to better define it agaisnt the web page but that's just a web issue.

    I am not found of the second one. Technically wise it's ok but the view on the subject is too straightforward for me.

    I like your composition in the third one. The sharpness is great as well.

    Thanks Seb! I kind of looked at these as part of a series that compliment each other. Maybe a few more angles would help though. Maybe another trip when it's really foggy!

    I like the third one. It looks a bit murky, like bad weather is about to roll in, but the light is working (I like how you captured it). The other two aren't too exciting for me though.
