Amazing Lighthouse Shot (OT)

For those who haven't seen it I thought you might enjoy checking this out from M&N:

That has to be one of the best M&N shots of the year. I would say it is my personal favorite if it wasn't for David Clapp's equally stunning shot here :

M&N came in with a couple sweet shots to end the year. I had seen both of those and agree that they're both awesome.

Derek & Mel,

Thanks a lot for the comments about the lighthouse image. I really appreciate it. I'm already thinking what to try for this same event next year.

Edward,

Thank you for sharing this spectacular photo with us!!! Also I appreciate hearing the story behind it. I find it very interesting and cool that they do this once a year with only a "5 minute" window! Even though we are far from the coast we can still appreciate great stuff like this.

Maybe I will have to plan a trip to California sometime during that window and attempt to capture the moment as you have. Kind of a long way to go, but it sure would be cool to see.

Wow, that lighthouse image is a stunner!!! Absolutely fantastic! Great shot Edward.

That lighthouse shot almost makes me want to make a special trip to shoot it myself. Outstanding!

Cool shot. Thanks for the link Derek.
