I See You

Dusky West Pier
Palace Pier Murmuration
The last time we shot from the Palace Pier and thought we’d be closer at the Doughnut (Afloat). This time we shot from the Doughnut and wondered if we wouldn’t have been better at the Palace Pier. Or, perhaps, the best view was had by the swimmers in the frigid waters.
More Murmuration
In mid-February we went back to the Doughnut Groyne, between the Palace and West Piers to see the murmuration of the starlings again. This time they were rather further away from our vantage point but we still managed to capture something.
Black Sky
The sky was deeply coloured, but by setting my exposure for the sunlight reflection on the sea, the sensor struggled with the dynamic range, leading to this black sky. In fact, it’s possible to bring up the exposure a couple of stops in software to get a deep midnight blue, but I prefer this stark contrast.

Chairs
