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.
with apologies to Christopher Guest.
Some chairs in the window of a fast-food restaurant, as seen through the lightly telescopic 60mm macro lens (90mm equivalent) with a reflection of the lens in the upright at the centre.
I was inspired by some pictures Laura El Tantawy showed us from In the Shadow of the Pyramids at her recent presentation at POST, to start shooting very close up. I got out my 60mm f/2.4 macro lens and started using it as a walking around lens in the street to see what I might come up with. This is an atypical way to use such a lens so I’m really just experimenting to see what I can learn about shooting this way.
As the i360 descended we caught a view of starlings gathering for their murmuration.
Another view from the i360 as the sun lowered in the sky over the English Channel.
When the aliens arrive, they’ll know where to stay – the Hilton Doubletree!
…where the rain could get in?
Surprised to find lots of cracks in the glass of the i360 in several places. I guess these panes are not easy to replace.
A view of West Pier I’ve not had before, looking at it from above, with reflections.
As the i360 began to rise, we had a view of Regency Square and other nearby streets. Unfortunately the curved glass saucer shape of the chamber made it impossible to banish all the reflections.
