Two from local to me. Light was ok this evening as twilight started. Not stellar, but ok. With a moderate high tide was able to give the Batis 25 f/2 a reasonable try out. What is very handy is that it helps you find the hyperfocal distance by telling you the distances of the focal plane. I kept most within 1.5m (5 and a bit feet) near and infinity. The moon creeping through the clouds I found really helpful, especially as it was shrouded into the thin clouds...

Very nice, I like them both.

Looks like a great place to shoot at. That Batis 25mm lens looks like it's very sharp all the way out to the corners. Speaking of sharp...these look maybe a bit too agressively sharpened to me for display at this size--a little too much halo it seems.

I don't know whether it is flickr processing, but have reduced the opacity of the sharpening layer. There is a fence on the ridge on the left on the top image:
