"Don't worry, no one will ever know it was us..."
This picture was a true Team Stixx collaboration. Thanks to Pix for the graffiti and added paint splashes that took forever to get out!
Picture taken at Pier Stixx, I mean, Pier 6 at New Paradyse.
This is the East Pier Extension to Whitby Harbour, with the "Red" Port Side Beacon illuminated to aid ships returning to the harbour.
It is mirrored on the West side with the "Green" starboard light at the end of that Pier.
The sky was really moody with the remains of Storm Agnes heading out over the North Sea. You can just make out the lights of a small boat returning to Whitby through the right hand railings. I thought this low perspective along the planking made for a nice shot!
Taken this morning along the Geelong waterfront. The light on the pier is not a bright one and I liked the even lighting at this hour of the morning despite this light.
Eastbourne Pier, East Sussex, England.
In April 1865 The Eastbourne Pier Company was formed with a working capital of £15,000. Work began in April 1866; Four years later Lord Edward Cavendish opened the pier although it wasn’t completed until 1872.
The pier is 300 meters long and built on stilts, which rest in cups on the seabed allowing the whole structure to move during rough weather.
The piers entrance was originally built on the lower promenade but due to the rough storms in 1877 it was swept away; it was then rebuilt at a higher level. In 1888 a 400-seater domed pavilion was built and just two years later a 1000-seater theatre, Bar, Camera Obscura and Office Suite replaced it, that same year two saloons were built in the midway.
During the Second World War decking was removed to host machine guns to provide a useful advantage point to repel enemy landings. In December 1942, an exploding mine caused considerable damage to the pier and nearby hotels.
The 1000 seat theatre was then destroyed by a fire in 1970 and was replaced with an evening entertainment venue that has since become home to Atlantis Nightclub, The Waterfront Cafe/Bar.
In 2014 the pier caught fire again, this time destroying the large arcade and saloons in the midway. After this the buildings were then dismantled and it was created into an ‘Open Deck’ area.
This particular image was originally shot and posted in colour in early March, but since then I've come to like this B&W edit a little more, which I hope you enjoy...
Thanks for viewing and have a great Sunday... :-)
I must have shot this at least a dozen times, looking for just the right blue background. The long exposure blurred the ocean and that is why the reflections look like they are on a skating rink.
Completed in 1914, the outer piers (or pier extensions) were added to the main piers to reduce the swell in the main harbour.
Fall is here, the planking on the pier has been taken off to protect it from the coming storms and ice. The sea was calm and blue today giving us a last feel of Summer.

Another day, another fine sunrise. 2013 got off to a slow start from the toggery point of view but is improving rapidly :-)
Nice though this morning's sunrise was, I always find this kind of ethereal pink wispiness really hard to deal with in post production. It always looks great on the back of the camera, but avoiding either blocking out the shadows or turning everything "hannah montana" pink is something I really struggle with.
Anyone got any good tips on how to shoot / process these kind of shots?

Scheveningen - The famous Pier in Scheveningen is an icon on the Dutch coast. The first pier of Scheveningen, named “Wandelhoofd Koningin Wilhelmina” opened on 6 May 1901. On March 26, 1943 the pavilion burned out completely.
Current pier: On 17 September 1959 the current structure, designed by Dutch architects Hugh Maaskant and Dick Apon from Rotterdam, was opened. Its unusual construction boasts two levels for the main pier, the lower deck a closed-in section, the upper open to the elements, and four terminal sections called 'islands', each originally with a separate focus. Its total length is 382 meters. Height 60 mtr.
Hythe Pier, the Hythe Pier Railway and the Hythe Ferry provide a link between the English port city of Southampton and the Hampshire village of Hythe on the west side of Southampton Water. It is used both by commuters and tourists, and forms an important link in the Solent Way and E9 European coastal paths.
The pier is over 2000ft long putting it in the top 10 longest piers in the UK, it also boasts having the world’s oldest running pier train.
