Great shot! It brings back memories as I once caught a trophy winning bass just off the lighthouse, probably in the area you can see in your photo

Location
Start Point Light House, Start Point,DevonTime
3pm after a nice walk along the coastal pathLighting
It was a very over cast day but with breaks in the cloud which meant I had to keep an eye on the camera settingsEquipment
I climbed to the top of hill which was very rocky and steep, which meant no tripod! It was taken with a Nikon D3100 - my first DSLR as I am new to this whole photography thing. There was no flash and I used the standard 18-55mm Nikkor Af-s lens.Inspiration
I love walking and now take my camera everywhere I go. I took this photo after the long walk from Tor Cross ti Start Point. I took several pictures, of the light house which looked good, but the composition was rubbish! I then saw some kids climbing the rocks and had a light bulb moment! I decided to climb and get a better view, which was definatly worth the effort!Editing
I try not to do much processing to any of my pictures, this one was exactly as I took it- no adjustments what so ever!In my camera bag
When I took this picture I had my d3100 the 18-55mm lens and my 70 -200mm lens. In addition to these I wont leave home without a set of macro filters, a set of ND filters and my Tamron 10-20mm wide lens. Oh and I cant forget my monopod!Feedback
Dont be afraid to find another view point even if that means having to climb a load of rocks - as long as you are safe just go for it!
