Hi! J It's an image I'm very fond of myself, but I know others don't see as much J in it as I do. I may have posted it here earlier, so bear with me if you J have seen it before. Indeed you should be. The only thing I can rant about is that it is a cropped slide rather than true panorama image

Just for you Frank, a few more lighthouse photos... The first is from St. Simions island of the coast of Georgia USA http://www.mindspring.com/~palling/photography/gallery4/Wall3.html The second is a small Light of a style that's ubiquitous in the US from the Florida Keys

Hi! On my screen I see two odd patches of yellow/purple above the buildings... I have only one feeling about this image. It looks like it was shot from a very well heated room, probably with fireplace, just before commencing to listening to one' favorite music with shot of whisky in hand. It is

I think the originally posted PAW is the best lighthouse shot so far. It was a bit dark, but it conveyed a certain mood of bad weather brooding. Even with the half frozen water in the foreground. And that's when a lighthouse really shines, after all. Uh. Pun half-intended, I guess. All this talk

I like your shot, good subject matter, nice composition, smooth gradations of tone, much better than mine in that respect, either you have a much better scanner or a much better exposure, on top of everything else. Jostein wrote: I think the originally posted PAW is the best lighthouse shot so

Hello Peter, I just logged on and was greeted by your PAW for this week. I'm not sure I'd have taken a picture of that scene as it strikes me as rather plain. However, there's a reason for that ... the lighting. It seems that you missed magic hour by a bit. The peak of magic hour is really

I have to agree with most of what you say. I did arrive late which leads to most of the perceived problems. The water lacks life because most of it is frozen. Thanks for the comments I've been thinking of going back and trying again. Shel Belinkoff wrote: Hello Peter, I just logged on and

Pah! Don't listen to Shel, Peter. Any bozo can take a pretty post card picture when the light is great. However it takes a special kind of bozo to make a photo work when the light's a bit different. I have no idea why I'm in such an irreverant mood tonight, so you'll all have to bear with
