Bridlington, East Yorkshire

View On Black

 

I took a trip to the east coast yesterday afternoon with the sole intention of being arty (just for you Craig:). I've noticed on Flickr that a good effect can be obtained by using a star filter on the lens. After reading up on these things I realised that by closing the aperture a similar and cheaper effect can be achieved. Well to cut a long story short I got a few shots taken into the sun of which the above is one.

While I was shooting a guy behind me remarked as he walked past that by shooting into the sun I would hurt my eye. I told him he would do the same if he didn't keep his nose out.............
