Sorry for the error. I found how to post the picture wen I subnit the post. When I try to correct the nessage I send it a second time. If you can, please delete the first one. Regards

You have now a good hand of tips. Misty hearher (Collin) is one of them. Unfortunately, you may not have it when you need. Bruce tip - just after sunset - is another good one. In fact, if you want to capture the lighthouse light, Bruce touch the hart of the question: light balance between the light and the background. If take the picture to late, sky will be to dark an if you expose to get a good lighthouse light everything else will be near black. You must take the picture when there is yet some light in the sky. This will let you have a good reading of the lighthouse light against the sky and a fast enough exposure to freeze the light. The "good amount" of skylight is a job to your eye... and some try and error work. D'ont forget to bracket the exposition, this will give to you more chances to get the picture you like and un our days photoshop let you combine the best parts of diferent exposures (if you like the method). I take the picture with a Nikonos V, Ektachrome 100 ISO, and an exposure betwen 1/8 sec and 1/30 sec (I d'ont remember), slow enough to capture skylight and fast enough to freeze the lifhthouse light.

Hope to be helpful

Unfortunately I d'ont know how to post here a image as an exemple, but if you want you can find it in my potfolio here in photo.net.
