Sunrise on Roker

I really like the second one. Nice colours and the lighthouse looks like it is on the third so it is compositionally more pleasing.

So much to think about and take on board. Thanks for that..It's a lot harder than I had thought. Im hoping that now I have my tripod (come xmas day) and my remore shutter release, Im hoping to see a big improvement.

It's a long learning process and not one that I'm sure that we will ever reach the end of.

There is a technique practiced by several people which is quite interesting, take a look at this thread -

both of which have some good points in my opinion, but of course, breaking the rules can also be good

I hope you don't mind but here is my take on the crop of the photo. In the first take I really liked the contrast between the tranquility and islolation of the lighthouse and presence of the workers on the beach. I also likes the mood of the sky, I really think it lost a lot of the mood when you cropped it.
