Perch Rock, Nrew Brighton June 230623-7
New Brighton 230623 #2
I can never come to New Brighton without taking at least one photograph of Perch Rock lighthouse. I was here to visit Neil Everett’s exhibition, last Friday, of some of his black and white photographs of the area – printed, framed and mounted, but I’d arrived early. I parked the car near Fort Perch Rock and hurried down to the beach. It was low tide and raining – very different conditions from my usual visits. I kept my X-T5 camera as dry as I could beneath my waterproof jacket and wandered around – hoping in vain for some useful reflections. I tried different angles, different foregrounds and, when it came to processing the shots later, I couldn’t, after seeing Neil’s photographs, leave them as colour images. So, here they are, probably not too much different than shots I’ve posted before, and I’ve included one featuring the container port cranes, one of the groynes and one looking across to the Liverpool skyline.
