Perch Rock Lighthouse

Gallery: Man & NaturePosted May 15, 2012827 views9 comments

Perch Rock in New Brighton is local to me, about 7 miles away. I have taken many shots of this lighthouse over the few years I've had an interest in photography. This particular one was taken back in January. This lighthouse guards the mouth of the River Mersey, Liverpool.

I've only been out with the camera once in the last two months so don't have anything new to show.

Thanks for looking, all comments are welcome.

Gary.

D700, 16-35mm. 30 secs at f/8, iso 200.

Nice mood to this capture. Just a little off top and right might improve the eye appeal. The lighthouse just needs to be a little more right than it is now~in my opinion...

Wonderful blue mood here, Gary. Lovely twilight to allow the beauty of everything come through. And the words Mersey and Liverpool bring a flood of song memories for me!

Cheers for the feedback Rick, Morris and Eva.

Rick, I agree about the crop. I had already taken a little off the right but it could do with a tad more.

Gary.

Lovely study in blue! Not somber, but quietly pensive. Congrats on the Pick.
