Point of Ayr (lighthouse)

[Danny-K]

I didn't think id ever get conditions like this here. I had been anxiously waiting on a zoom interview all morning and it was put back till 3pm Soon as i had finished off i went. I had been tracking the low pressure on the satellites and had seen a gap opening up so i took my chances. As am i walking/jogging to the beach because i knew the light was coming and i had to stop to get my camera out ready as i know from experience that the sand would of just been in the bag soon as i opened it on the beach and at least this way i was good to go soon as i got on to the main beach. I have always shot this light house from the other side but given the incoming light i had to adapt and decided to shoot it from the leaning side. I had around an hours worth of pretty spectacular conditions, and experienced some insane winds and rain. I'm always well equipped clothing wise expect this time i forgot my waterproof pants but i didn't care because i was there to experience Agnes and document it.

Great setting and as they say ‘it’s all about the light’ and you used it well.

They are all very atmospheric, I like them.
I have to say I'm not sure about the lighthouse leaning.
I'd rather have a wonky horizon.
That really is just my personal opinion.

Straighten up the lighthouse and that would make them look great!

The lighthouse has a well known “lean “ Richard.
People often make the mistake of “levelling up” and producing a sloping horizon.
