Beacon Flight by Delfino
I always wanted to shoot this beacon, but since it is very remote from the place where i live, i had to wait for a weekend to travel there. It is situated in Burgenland, Austria at Lake Neusiedl (Podersdorf) and it is the only beacon we have in Austria. The birds use Lake Neusiedl as a waypoint on their way from the north to their winter quarters in Africa.
Canon 50d and Sigma 10-20mm at 13mm, f/ 16 iso 100, Fader MkII, three bracketed images merged in Photomatix.

Worth waiting for, I’d say. Great shot, I like the transition of light from warm to cool across the image and it has nice leading lines and reflection, too. Ticks all the boxes!
Thank you so much Odille for your kind words!
