Great pics. Reinforces my opinion that Harbour Lights did not do this one justice.

Thanks, Ruthie!
For whatever it's worth, Larry, the average professional photographer gets about 2-3 shots that he/she considers "keepers" out of a 36 exposure roll. Another old adage out there is that the difference between amateur and professional photographers is the size of their respective garbage cans!
Seems like I always have some bad ones on every rolls where, despite the fact that the viewfinder on my F5's give me 100% coverage, I always find something tucked into a corner or something that I look at and wonder why I didn't see that, and that slide becomes a garbage can fisbee... There are a myriad of other reasons for bad shots. Probably the most common problem is programmed exposure usage of all of our cameras. If you shoot manual, set up an exposure properly by metering on what you want to use to set the exposure and then recompose, you keep the meter reading and get the exposure correct. On the other hand, if you're in a programmed mode, you set up the exposure, recompose and the camera, whether you like it or not - assuming you're not holding a button for exposure lock if your camera has one of those critters - resets the exposure for you and you've been zapped! Another garbage can frisbee in the making.

Wow, guess that makes me a true pro!!! I have lots of shot glass coasters of lighthouses. (you could put an eye out throwing one of those things.) The trick is, don't let people see the rejects and they think you never miss.

Gary, no shots of the staircase? Unfortunately the balconies inside this lighthouse do not line up like the ones in St. Augustine.

Unfortunately, by the time I got done with business that day in Savannah and drove up to Hunting Island, the tower had closed for the day. If I get back down that direction again, I'll definitely have to arrange it so that I get there while the tower is open for climbing. As for the shot over the trees, that one wasn't a difficult shot to take. It shouldn't be too tough for anyone who has a camera with a telephoto lens to shoot such a shot. That one happens to have been shot at about 150 mm or so. The Nikon N90 that I travel with when I'm not doing serious photography had a Tamron 28-300mm lens on it for that trip, which is a good choice when you only want to take a single lens on a trip. (A far cry from the 9 lenses that usually live in my photo backpack along with 2 Nikon F5 bodies!) Gary
