Thank you, Jack, I appreciate the kind words. That definitely is a Fresnel lens (I have another, much closer photo of it in my photos); fortunately they let you go up in the lighthouse and get right up into the lantern room.

I've been experimenting with editing in Darktable, and I can't tell if there's more to be had from this shot, or if this is a "garbage in, garbage out" situation (i.e. the shot doesn't have a good composition). Love some feedback and things to try.

I know, it's a bit cliche, but this lighthouse just begs to be photographed.

I'm working on my composition, but I'd appreciate any and all feedback.

Thanks for looking. I'd appreciate any feedback, specifically regarding composition, but all is

welcome.

This is a shot I took while on a hike to the Eagle Creek area in

Oregon. I was experimenting with depth of field, and would like to

know your comments.

Just a photo a shot while playing with some close-up filters. Not

very original, true, but I like the lighting and the texture on the

rose.

This was taken at The Bite of Portland (Oregon) in 1998. I spent a

lot of time taking crowd shots during the day, and at night decided

to play around with my last roll of film (400 speed even), and

captured this shot. It was one of the few that turned out well, and

I can't help but wonder what I would have come up with had I had film

more suited for the conditions. As I'm an amateur, I'd appreciate

any feedback and tips/tricks you can suggest.
