2009-11-14-(131) Brighton (England) Stormy Sea & West Pier
I was in Brighton today when the British Isles were hit by general gales (gale warnings in every area except two this morning as I recall!), this gave me the chance to try some rough sea shots including that great favourite subject; the ruins of the Brighton West Pier.
In between trying to stand upright, keeping out of the rain, keeping water and spray off the lens and finding that the light was so variable that I had to shoot on Aperture priority (something I rarely do), I can't really claim much credit for these photos, I just took a lot and some worked tolerably. It probably won't come as a great surprise to hear that there were quite a lot of photographers out on the seafront and beach.
This is a beach shot, I took several, this wave broke in a nice position which is why I selected it, also I had half an eye on the further belt of rain that seemed to be on the way, so I didn't go on for much longer.
