Sunrise looking south from Smoky Cape Lighthouse with the Sun lighting the hills of Hat Head National Park, NSW, Australia. This is an HDR stack of 5 exposures to compress the dynamic range in brightness from the sky to the ground. All with the 14mm Rokinon lens and Canon 6D. Stacked and tone-mapped in Adobe Camera Raw.
The trio of beams from the Smoky Cape Lighthouse scanning across the sea and sky in an exposure shot as short as possible to freeze the beams. This is a single 1.6-second exposure at f/1.4 and ISO 12800, wide and fasrt to keep the beams from blurring too much.
Crux, the Southern Cross, and the Pointers caught in a beam of light from the Smoky Cape Lighthouse, NSW, Australia. I shot this in the deep blue of a late twilight. But the Milky Way is showing up. The beam is from the lighthouse behind the camera, but it is shining out to sea and seems to be lighting a small rocky island with its own small lighthouse on it. This is a single 1.6-second exposure at f/1.4 and ISO 12800 — wide and fast to prevent the sweeping beam from blurring too much.
