A simple shot from my first early morning foray :)

Kit lens @ 55mm, iso 100, f8, 1/60 sec, NDG and blue tint grad (just to give the sky a little kick).

Thanks :)

It was a very enjoyable morning, for the first hour I was the only person up there. I was hoping to try some long exposure water shots as well but, the tide was in, the sea was flat and in the end so was me battery :'(

Lovely picture - first light is when the sparrows still need night vision!

nice shot, as already said, lovely composition , lighting, etc, but not sure if its first light though, but depends what time you get up.

Nice view of St.Mary's. Never thought of taking it from that angle - it looks really quiet.

Can only echo what's already been said.

I did think on reading the title it was a homage to something by Joe Cornish ('First light' being the title of one of his books) who has to be the UK's finest landscape photographer

The kit lens is a much maligned lens, and unfairly so. What you have above is a good example of what you can get out of it given the right conditions and approach
