Porthcawl Lighthouse

[cardiff_gareth]

All taken with the Pentax K5 and my free Tamron 70-300mm LD Di lens! Shooting in TaV mode meant the ISO was at times up to ISO 6400 as light wasn't great and the glass slow but all in all I'm pretty happy with them.

A few from behind the lighthouse:

3.

And a few from in front of the Lighthouse:

5.

6.

And a few that 'should' have a lighthouse in!

13. Can anyone else see a face in this image? Open mouth and large teeth in line with the steps?

4 & 6 for me...

 

[gramps]

Explosive stuff, I like that the light shows in several of them

 

[Old Geordie]

Great set. Number six wins it for me

 

[cardiff_gareth]

Thank you all, appreciate the kind words.

I havent been to Porthcawl for years, but the last yesar's storm on the news had photos like these, goods shots.

Cracking set 4 and 6 take it for me,

I considered heading down there yesterday for a spot of photography but wrote it off as the tide was out when I intended on going. I wish I'd gone now!

 

[Jim Everiss]

Awesome set of pictures, well done.

 

[Peter B]

I'd have been happy to take any of these, but no. 6 definitely the best for me as it shows the second wave and the lighthouse is uncovered in between them. Fine work!

 

[Seahorse]

Great set, especially like 5,6 9 & 10, well done.

 

[holty]

like them all

 

[cardiff_gareth]

Thank you all! Most kind

 

[Greggster]

Amazing shots. No 4 would be my keeper

 

[noah1]

Good set Gareth No6 was the one that made me go Wow, but you have others there that are equally dramatic well done.

 

[cardiff_gareth]

Thanks both

Will go with general consensus here too, 4 & 6 are very nicely captured - all good but those really stand out (4th shot is the winner for me though) Nicely done mate.

Can also see the face in 13, nice to know I'm not the only one with an overactive imagination - reminds me of a shot I posted a short while ago that had some horrifyingly scary reflection of a face in some glass!
