Wintery, Watery West Pier

West Pier, Brighton

Walking home on a wintery afternoon we came to West Pier in a dusky light and stopped to see the starlings gather for their daily murmuration.

West Pier, Brighton, UK

We have hardly ever seen waves of any size here. On this day, at the end of May, the wind was whipping them up.

Morning Surf

Sea Isle City, New Jersey
Sea Isle City, New Jersey

Shooting on a tripod, I set the shutter speed to 1/8 second which blurs the motion of the surf.

Dawn at the Beach, 3

Sea Isle City, NJ

Dropped the shutter speed down to 1/2 second to get an even dreamier blur (tripod, remote, circular polarizing filter – I didn’t have the ND I needed).
