THOMAS’S comment

For this shot, the clouds suddenly cleared and the night sky lit up in an amazing blanket of stars. Alyn was very quick to react and we raced around getting many different shots from different angles before it clouded over again. With the lighthouse behind us, Alyn instructed me to shoot in a southwesterly direction for the Milky Way in the sky behind. Shooting at 11mm on my full-frame 1D Mk II has allowed me to get close but still capture a large slice of the star-lit sky, using the wall on the left as a leading line, and the tower to add context and interest.
