Alexandra Palace Park, North London.

Brighton West Pier (or at least what is left of it) taken in early January. The tide wasn't perfect (too low), but I was able to get something usable despite the howling wind.

50 sec exposure with a ND 110 filter.

Shoreham harbour entrance, after dawn.

Portslade, Sussex.

A slight reworking of an image I posted on Google+ yesterday. Hopefully I have mastered the banding - I tried blur and little bit of noise, but wasn't getting anything satisfactory. I abandoned PS Elements 9 as its only 8 bit and was probably the source of the issue and instead I used Lightroom grads and bit of Silver Efex Pro 2 instead (both 16 bit) which worked much better.

I have tried to create a different and unique version of this much photographed subject. Classic high key versions have been taken in the past by masters of Long Exposure photography such as Michael Diblicek, Gavin Dunbar and more recently Paul Wheeler.

Portslade, Sussex.

Perched on top of a harbour wall with a daunting drop beneath, some kids fishing nearby thought I was crazy.
