Hurst Castle Lighthouse

[slothmeister]

Hi guys, had about 2 weeks off and thought i would make the most out of the brilliant weather, so i spent two days on the isle of wight taking pictures and am really unimpressed with the results.

So the following day i went to Hurst castle near Southampton and got a few shots of the lighthouse and castle.

So cast your eyes over these and give me your criticisms, thanks.

the 1st one looks like a model!

I really like the 3rd one, nice angle although I think it could have been a wee bit better compositionally (perhaps a bit lower with the camera if possible, or further back). Still a fantastic shot though.

Love the composition and processing on the last one.

The rest are fine, but just don't grab me.

Love the first and last photos. Both the lighthouse and yacht look like small models

hi guys, thanks for the replies.

Wasn't sure about the final one, but it's grown on me. The shot with the buttercups i have from loads of different angles but still haven't had a chance to process them, so will have a look and get back to you.

What camera mate?

 

[slothmeister]

Nikon D70, getting a bit long in the tooth now and the sensor needs a damn good clean, taken with the standard 17-80mm kit lens.

Lol, nice photos...but I thought you meant Hurst castle along Highway 1 in the USA when I saw this thread.
