Beautiful light rays illuminating this stunning piece of history.
My friend and I got up at a silly time that morning and when we arrived, bleary eyed, there were quite a few photographers already snapping away. They waited for the sun to rise but packed up before this little show began! I was there to capture it though ;)
This was goldenhour over Ilfracombe harbour, North Devon, last night. If you aren't from the UK, the town is noted for having been a Victorian holiday resort made possible by the (then new) train travel. It was blissfully peaceful for a Bank Holiday Weekend when we shot here; that was probably because of the huge storms that hit the area as forecast - lots of sheet and fork lightning, a downpour and tree branch debris littering the roads back to Exmoor!

Explored- Highest Position June 8th 2010 #6
This was taken a few minutes after my last posting as the sun dipped below the trees. For this image, I was standing in about 2 ft of warm lake water enjoying this beautiful sunset all by myself.
There is something to be said about being alone in situations like this. It is definitely a relaxing experience unless you are running around trying to get alot of different comps. For this sunset, I knew that there were just a couple of comps that I wanted. So I was able to enjoy the peace and silence of this night.

Beech trees welcome the day's first light at the appropriately named Buijinbayashi (literally translated, "Pretty Lady Grove"). While the abundance of rice terraces in the area initially attracted me, this grove showered with morning light took my breath away.
Sunset, Great Smoky Mountains National Park - Swain County, North Carolina.
A beautiful sunset appears beneath stormy clouds at Clingmans Dome.

Early autumn in a very foggy Chatsworth Park - not much time on my hands but just enough to spot this happening and grab a few hand-held shots.
I've been thinking of focusing on black and white for a while and so I decided to start messing with some of my existing photos. I'm liking the way this came out. Here's the color version for reference - flic.kr/p/2hKVaJQ. Which do you prefer?
The fog was heavy and the sun was just starting to burn through. Not something often seen in Toronto ! Actually fog not smog !
As promised, I got up early today as I had a hunch yesterday that it would pay off. And so it did! I still have to go through most of them but I'm sure that there will be many more to come and some are even better than this one.
I'm going to put my signature in these kind of photo's as I've noticed too many of my sun ray shots spread over the internet, and they're not always credited to me..
The lighthouse at Cape Schanck just after sunset. Walking in the dark was fun but managed to make it out without tripping on too many unseen obstacles.

I'm talking about the one in the middle above the dock. Does it look like a giant white worm with a big brown head and a headlamp on it? Never mind...
The beautiful dock at Storm King Ranger Station, Lake Crescent. A bit of aurora glow from Vancouver Island direction with the north ends of the milky way. THAT white worm is some low clouds/fog with a big trailer as it's head. Pretty cool captured those light rays from the head lights! I was parked right beside the dock shooting time lapse til' next morning and fell asleep before sunrise... Lucky the people who unload their boat into the water was trying to be careful as my camera was right beside the car when they unloading it. Or didn't just took my camera...
Thank you for viewing! Any comments or sharing are greatly appreciated!!
Have a great day/night!!

The rotating beacon of the Heceta Head Lighthouse, Oregon coast. Built in 1892, it is considered by many to be the most beautiful lighthouse on the western U.S. coast. It’s beam has a range of 21 nautical miles (39 km; 24 mi).
BTW, those two large “stars” near the horizon are Venus and Jupiter — a very close alignment or conjunction (July 3 @ 11:30pm). Venus is the brighter of the two (because it is much closer to the Sun and the Earth), even though it is much smaller than Jupiter.

Exposure TIP: When I posted this yesterday on Instagram, one person asked, “Composite shot to get the light beams like that, Royce, or you have some magic trick?” My answer: All eight beams are there. They rotate together. The shutter speed time determines the width of the beams - too short and the beams are very narrow (not as graphic). Too long and they all connect and blend together (3 to 4 seconds worked best for this lighthouse). F-stop and ISO determine the strength or brightness of the beams.
I did make one underexposure (1 sec, f/2.8, ISO 200) of the lighthouse in order to get some detail in the glass panels. I then copied and pasted just that area onto the final image (via Photoshop layers @ 30% opacity). Without this composite addition, there would be no detail in that very bright area of the lighthouse.
