WOW, this is a tough shot no less, hot lighthouse and overcast coming in! Very well balanced and just beautiful!
 
Thank you. I've shot this lighthouse a load of times on both film negative and digital and this is the best shot I've managed to get - I haven't even had to adjust the levels at all. It's bizarre that a 1940s folder with a film as tricky as Velvia has managed to outshoot my 5D MkII, with which I always seem to get blown highlights on the limestone.
