Another from yesterday. A lighthouse at sunset is a bit cliché, but it was a nice night and the lighthouse was close by.

Nice! And a lighthouse sunset certainly isn't a cliché out here. I like the composition, with man-made and natural light in juxtaposition. I'm guessing there is a graduated ND filter at work here... anything else special?

Awesome shot Pat, really like the "winter" color tones.

Thanks for the comments everyone. We sure had loads of fun that day and enjoyed it the fullest. Eh...marriage...we'll talk about that later But it's nice to know that I'm only a few tickets away from having the best photographers at my party taking photos for free

Cliché or not, it's a beautiful shot. The colors are really vivid but still not too much - I like this one a lot.

Jan: Really like the creative portraits here! What lens did you use for this (I'm guessing a fisheye?)

Pat: Nice lighthouse at sunset, the colors really make it pop.

Here's one I took this evening; I liked how he seemed to be posing...kind of like he is deep in thought.

Thank you all for the kind comments.

Sorry... I forget to put down the particulars. The lighthouse was shot with a 7D, 4 sec, f/16, ISO 100, @ 24mm. And yes, there was a GND involved. In fact there were two plus a CPL. I was looking into the setting sun with either the lighthouse in the dark or a washed out sky, and I do not like pulling things out of the shadows in PP with the 7D because it ends up so noisy. So I broke down and added a second GND to tame the sky. So I ended up with a CPL, 0.9 GND, and a 0.6 GND. Unfortunately, it did effect the sharpness a little, and I had to wait for the sun to get low enough to get rid of a nasty flare above the lighthouse.

Stephen - That is a cute little fellow, and such a thoughtful looking pose.

Very cute shot of the baby, Stephen! Something sure is spiking his attention and thought process!

Here's a shot from today. It has been really warm the last couple days so finally able to enjoy more time playing outside!
