The Birdcage
Brighton Seafront - Western Bandstand
The bandstand in Brighton was recently renovated, and rightly so. The Victorian building was verging disrepair due to vandalism and weathering. Thankfully, Brighton and Hove City Council were aware of this and did a fantastic job on giving the building a new life. The lighting they have installed is fantastic, when lit up at night it is a fine example of Brighton city, a contemporary modern city with a rich Victorian history. I knew when I saw the completed building that a daytime exposure would not do this bandstand justice.
I also was adamant in getting some kind of reflection on the floor. I did a previous night shoot of the structure but the weather was very warm and dry, this didn't give me the picture I was after. I had to wait a good few weeks for the next batch of rain due to it being the middle of summer.
Luckily I finally got this weather, I rushed down to Brighton armed with my old D50 (whoever says this camera is not weatherproof has obviously never used one!) I got the exact result I was after.
