This photo was fun to do. I planned to use a tripod, and cursed on my two hour journey to the lighthouse at the cloudy skies.
When I got there around 4pm, I was about to have a treat from nature during the next 45 minutes.
I'd never been there to see the lights come on so it was all a surprise to me as it unfolded.
I think this was the 2nd or 3rd year that the LH had lights but I was on a mission to make it my 2010 Christmas card.
Surprisingly to me I didn't need the tripod until I was ready to leave. The 2.8 lenses brought in all the light I needed.
I was very pleased with the results, and I appreciate your feedback.
