How to use this prompt

Lighthouse cliff shots need the contrast between the solid tower and chaotic sea. The cliff should rise high enough to make the waves look powerful. A warm beam cutting through cool storm light creates the focal point. The 3:2 frame balances the vertical lighthouse with horizontal sea and sky. Keep the lighthouse near a rule-of-thirds line, not dead center. Too much calm water undermines the drama.

Variations to try

  • Calm lighthouse at sunset — gentle sea and orange sky for a peaceful print
  • Frozen lighthouse — ice-covered cliff and snow for a winter scene
