Would Gary Gough approve?😂
West Pier, Brighton, East Sussex, England
And now for something completely different! Slight interlude in the Scottish photos for something taken at the weekend.
The forecast was nothing special but the tides seemed right for shooting something at Shoreham mid morning. I decided I'd get up early and head over to Brighton to shoot the West Pier again.....who knows how much longer it will survive? This time I wanted to capture some posts (old pier supports?) that I'd seen.
Sure enough the sky was pretty grey and nothing much going on with the sea so I thought I'd try a 'Gary Gough Fine Art' type image. I'll leave it to you all to decide if I succeeded!
Had some challenges sorting out the lens distortion effect as I had to get quite close to the posts to make sure I excluded any beach. Another Tog there said he would clone out the beach if necessary but I wanted to avoid that. It's not 100% perfect but I think the distortion is removed as far as my capabilities/the software allow.
If you want to learn about the history of West Pier then pleasse see a shot I took last year of a Supermoon over the pierhttps://www.flickr.com/photos/184798091@N07/51409111073/in/album-72157719746898331/
