This didn't turn out how I wanted as it was too busy at the time I wanted to shoot. I was hoping to catch some light on the left hand side of the lighthouse, not sure if I'm keen on the final image or not!

Thanks Steve, there were several people fishing but they packed up and left by 9.30.Nicely composed, I like the negative space on the right. You certainly struck lucky with the clouds and light.
Cant believe there was nobody fishing out at the end, thought they were a permanent fixture

Loving that light Neil I have had no bloody luck with sunsets lately, been out every night this week so far with BA luck!
Anyhow cameras nice and snug in its bag.
Like the composition here, nice lead to the Port side breakwater and I like that light just running down the handrail. Its a very nicely controlled exposure Great cloud and lovely colour and contrast mate.
Think you need to get a 70-200 to catch those big goffers when the storms hit, then you'll be safe and not get wet

I like the composition. Wondering if an LE to impart more drama and a smooth water texture might have improved it,.

Thinking about what you and@ST4 said and just mulling it over in my mind. I to have taken LE shots and sometimes the sky looks fine sometimes horrible, I guess it depends on the direction of travel of the cloud and the length of exposure. So taking your shot for example I wondered if blending 2 shots, one for the sky and one LE for the sea and blending them would work? Or would it just look garishly unnatural? I think you'd have to do it sympathetically.
