  Here's an unexpected take on Trevose Lighthouse in Cornwall that I am exceedingly happy with. The whole sunrise / sunset connundrum does little to give your audience a sense of versatility, so after another evening scuppered by the blanket of grey, I hardly expected this textural, dynamic shot to be within my grasp. Processed in Lab mode, the whole image preserves subtlety -that's what LAB is all about. By working the contrast independantly and leaving the colours well alone, the image maintains colour accuracy. Your camera is very capable of recording things accurately (but don't we like to tinker)... With a six stop ND filter to give cloud drag and add the stringy effect to the sea, the lighthouse provides that all important focal point, despite its relatively small size. Think about it next time you ponder over forum images online; look at the amount of faked up colouring that goes into skies in particular. Despite what the 'chefs' say, we are capable of enjoying other flavours than just sickly sweet. Canon 1DsIII, 24-105 f4L @ f11 for 100secs ISO100
