Not sure what attracted me to this scene… perhaps the contrasting colours of the orange (or chrome yellow?) banner and the aqua see behind.

Eclipse’s End
Walking down the pier as the eclipse ended, I grabbed this westward snapshot of the setting sun and West Pier, unencumbered by the moon.

Dividing the Frame
An exercise in dividing the frame, using the specular highlights on the water to place the brighter part below the dividing line instead of above

Another image from my recce for “dividing the frame” photographs.
Flight of the Langoustine
I’ve photographed Hove Plinth before, but now from a different angle with more sea and the flight of a seagull. I was scouting the viability of this path for a “dividing the frame” group shoot.
Descent
As we descended from the Devil’s Dyke, we found ourselves on the Dyke Railway Trail, with views of the countryside and farm animals, out to the English Channel and Hove on the coast.

Dusky West Pier
Still more murmuration
Murmuration over the West Pier and an in-camera panorama from the sun going down to West Pier
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.
A Mighty Wind

Brighton Dusk
West Pier, Again
As the i360 descended we caught a view of starlings gathering for their murmuration.
Sunset, Southwest
Another view from the i360 as the sun lowered in the sky over the English Channel.
