Clevedon Pier, built in c1869, partially collapsed in c1970, was re-opened in c1989 and is now fully restored
Melbourne's iconic Princes Pier in Port Melbourne. A little before sunset on a very windy day.
It was a day that reinforced the need for a decent tripod. Another photographer near me walked away from his gear and the tripod got blown over, smashing the graduated ND filter and lens, which took the brunt of the force. An expensive outing for that poor person.
Second visit to Steetley Pier this year. Much more dramatic sunrise this time, and much warmer than it was in January too! Had bit of a scare at one stage when the tripod toppled over landing the camera face down in the surf :eek:. Recovered quickly with no lasting damage but I spent 10 minutes drying the camera and lens off rather than watching the sunrise. Have to be more careful in future...

Happy Blue Hour Bench Monday ...
This was captured this morning before sunrise. I have not taken any here in the morning ... most of the time I end up visiting my dad in the day and this get the sunset view here. The light filling in the from the dawn sky to our rear here in the early morning fills in nicely the details on the pier and bench ... a different quality of light versus the blue hour in the late evening where the pier and benches would be in more silhouette.
Winter sunrise with the sun rising under the pier .
Thank you for taking the time to view, fav and comment, looking forward to 2017.
This is the obligatory under the pier shot :) Taken at Picnic Bay on the first day of our Magnetic Island visit. We had earlier been here but the tide was high and we had to lay on our backs to get a shot underneath the pier. To the right of the photo you can see the Townville port and city.
This is the colour version of an image I posted a few weeks ago. The colours are pretty outrageous but they are not that far away from reality. The shot was taken well after dark using a 30 second exposure at f2.8 so you will get an idea of how dark it was. The orange tone of the pier comes from the security lighting on the nearby building. The purple tone in the water is from the lights from a nearby shipping terminal bouncing from the low clouds. I did try to tone it down a bit but when it came to it I quite liked the rich overtones. Let’s just call it an abstract… ;-)
Piers appear through out Venice. All of the various boats used for transportation through out the city need a place to dock and pick up passengers. They are often a modern distraction from the beauty of the old splendor of the city. However, in the dim light of morning only the lights shine through created a festive and magical atmosphere.
