Sunset at Central Pier, Blackpool, Lancashire
Ahh, Blackpool. The Las Vegas of the UK. My hometown although I have not lived there since 1996 but I do live in its neighbouring town, Preston so it is only a hop, skip and a jump in the car to reach and the UK's most popular coastal resort certainly offers up some gems to photograph.
For a start, Blackpool has not one, two but THREE PIERS. They are all around 150 years old so the upkeep on them is tremendous but Central Pier is the 'fun pier' for it has fairground rides and a huge ferris wheel to ride on.
So last week I ventured down for a couple of hours and I managed to wander onto the pier as there seemed to be a fair amount of activity going on. Turns out, the TV show The Bay was filming at the bottom of the pier so it was assumed that I was part of the crew but once it became apparent that I wasn't, I was politely informed that I would have to leave, but I was fortunate enough to capture this scene before packing up. The secret is setting up and working quickly but the security guard was a lovely chap so it was all good.
