u used a polarizer for the sky?

Hi Den....

I did used a polarizer for this photo. The clouds were spreading rther slowly but i did not want the sky to break up too much at the time of shot as the sun ray may cause a difficult exposure and harsh lighting. So i just used the polarizer to bring the blue sky off the white clouds.

That caught my eyes is actually the point of swirling of the cloud....about the axis..of the tip of the light house....

(the wide angle was obtained from the same wide angle attachement used to take the recent fisheye effect SEED outing photo - just a cheapo lens....3rd party)

Hi Maddog,

If you happen to be in San Diego, do check out Point Loma - Cabrillo national Monument.......You ill see the light house there and also a good view of the whole US Navy Armada.

Be there at about 8am till 10am where the fog and low clouds break and the cool breez of the pacific ocean.

You can also catch sunset there in the evening.

regards,
me
