Sitting in the Channel

Weston-Super-Mare pleasure pier In the Bristol Channel.

The pier is privately owned, and supported by 600 iron piles and is 400 metres long. The original pavilion was completely destroyed in 2008 by fire and rebuilt at a cost of £39,000,000 and reopened in 2010.

 

Well my friends: today was my first real attempt at long exposures and although an iconic subject it is a first for me. It was absolutely freezing the wind was biting!! and of course I had forgotten, hat and gloves and gave up when I couldn't move because I was so cold and left the others I was with from "Image Seen" workshop and sort refuge in the car!!

This was taken with a Lee Polarizer, a 0.6 soft grad and a Big stopper (the latter borrowed) I had bought the others the day before the shoot but will have to save up for the big stopper!! :-)) Happy Clicking Everyone.
