Amidst the challenge to "Move the Camera," I was drawn to the sea, living in close proximity to it. Despite the icy rain during my walk, I experimented with different shutter speeds, capturing vertical movements along the sea line. Upon reaching the harbour wall, I swiftly moved my camera upwards, aiming to ascend the lighthouse. The resulting image evoked a Turner-esque ambiance, fitting given Turner's association with Margate. Through editing, I imparted a painterly essence, toning down colors for an abstract effect. This intentional camera movement (ICM) technique yielded other captivating images of buildings during that day's shoot, offering further satisfaction in my exploration.
Taken during a day trip to Margate. I was taken aback by the vivid colours and attitudes of this fading seaside town.

This stone pier is known as the harbour arm and was built between 1812 and 1815. The lighthouse at the end of the pier was rebuilt in 1955. The Harbour Arm has a bar, cafés and galleries which are open daily during the summer months. At the end of the pier looking out to the Margate seafront is a brass sculpture of a shell lady named ‘Mrs Booth’.
Margate's first Lighthouse was built in 1828 to mark the town's newly built breakwater. The original lighthouse was a round Doric column, similar to the old west pier light at Whitby. It had a square gallery and cylindrical lantern, but this tower became a victim of the Great Storm of 1953. Strong seas pushed the old tower over, leaving it leaning at a precarious angle for several hours, prior to it collapsing, along with a large section at the end of the pier. The storm also destroyed the local pleasure pier.
In 1955, the current octagonal concrete tower was built, topped by a copper lantern housing a fixed red LED light. Unlike the original tower, this new structure was of a much simpler and less grand design. The new lighthouse, which has become one of Margate's most recognizable landmarks is accessible by walking the harbour arm, which is open to the public and free of charge.
Margate is a seaside town in Thanet, Kent, South East England, 15 miles (24.1 km) north-east of Canterbury, which includes Cliftonville, Garlinge, Palm Bay and Westbrook.

Margate railway station serves the town of Margate in Thanet, Kent, England. It is 73 miles 69 chains (118.9 km) down the line from London Victoria. Train services are provided by Southeastern.
Trains from the station generally run to Victoria via Chatham or to London St Pancras via Ramsgate, Canterbury West and Ashford International. Peak hour trains run to St Pancras via Chatham and Gravesend and to London Cannon Street.
The station was rebuilt in 1926 by the Southern Region's chief assistant architect, Edwin Maxwell Fry. The building is constructed in a monumental classical style from brown brick with a stone dressing and a hipped tiled roof. The booking hall was built in a similar manner, in a distinctive ellipse shape with pendant lighting. It was Grade II listed in 1987.
The station was featured in Only Fools and Horses, in the 1989 episode The Jolly Boys' Outing. Del Boy and Rodney discover the station is closed due to a strike, after being stuck in Margate following their coach blowing up.
The thoughts haunt me constantly, I keep pushing them away. They come back in every shape and form. So to live with the thought of failure I need to accept it and be open about it.
