Brighton ~ 1 by seanoneill

Brighton ~ 1

I have just had a very enjoyable 3 days in Brighton on a long exposure workshop with Doug Chinnery of Light and Land. My lovely wife treated me for my birthday and christmas presents last year. I've even missed Cheltenham for it!

More photos and commentary on the workshop and locations to follow but I wanted to get a shot up before I disappear under the weight of work I have returned to!!

This shot of Brighton Pier was taken with a 10 stop Lee Big Stopper, slowing the exposure at midday down to 60 seconds at f/22.

I'm rather chuffed with this. I have also been converted to Lightroom, though I confess this was processed in PSCC! I may well have a go at it in LR5 as well, though I am snowed under until next Monday, so not sure when it will be.

Great moving sky ,while your buildings are sharp .your tutor must be impressed

@jack4john He hasn't seen it yet John. With 8 of us on the course and the emphasis being on getting out with our cameras, we've all dashed home to start processing. I hope to send some to him for critique, and hope to improve this shot too when I process in Lightroom.

Lovely image - great use of long exposure.

Wonderful long exposure! Fav!

The long exposure has really added so much drama to the sky and sea. Fantastic!

Chuffed is right - it's an amazing shot. Fav. Sounds like an excellent workshop even if you had to miss the races :)
March 12th, 2015  
Excellent, like the choice of b+w

Great dramatic shot Sean. You missed Cheltenham. Like most locals I spend the whole of this week trying to miss it!!. Unless I'm actually going of course. At least I don't have to fit school runs round the race traffic any more

Stunning shot Sean! Fav! You would only have got soaked at Cheltenham!

Fabulous! I like the detail of the pier with the blurred sky and water. Well done.
March 13th, 2015  
Yeah, this does the trick, really great. Though (as a US guy) I did have to look up "chuffed"!
March 13th, 2015  
One for the gallery I think, the clarity of the structure against the drama created in the sea and sky is very effective.
March 14th, 2015  
Love this one, Sean! A big fav.
March 15th, 2015  
Stunning! Looks forward to seeing more. I so enjoyed my night at the GCR first time in months been somewhere outside home and the village to photo anything. Didn't even matter not many useable due to not having a tripod for night time shooting just enjoyed being out!

Another stunner. LR6 is supposed to launch soon so keep an eye out. I'm in love with this shot and the next.
March 15th, 2015  
Fabulous dramatic sky. WOW for the whole composition and another fav.

What a great present. Great view of the pier and the sweep of cloud and sea with the long exposure make such a difference to the view.
