Brighton ~ 7

Another shot of the West Pier in Brighton, this time from the shore directly in front of it.

Shot at 6.30am for 2 minutes at f/8 with the Lee Big Stopper.

You can see how precarious the structure is. Sadly, I think it only has another year or two left before it finally collapses into the sea.

Colour version in my other album.

@annied Hi Annie, I'm good thanks, though sufering from insomnia tonight!!

[Annie D]

@seanoneill oooh yes you are too - just realised the time your way

[Sean O'Neill]

@annied 2.20am and I have a day of hard graft and meetings tomorrow!!

[Annie D]

@seanoneill oh dear - you had better knock yourself out lol

[Sean O'Neill]

@annied Think I'm just starting to flag!!

[Annie D]

@seanoneill hope you manage some sound sleep :)

[Sean O'Neill]

@annied Thank you. Once I nod off I am like Rip van Winkle!! I will need a lot of tea tomorrow morning to get the grey matter working!

[Call me Joe]

Great series- !!

[KWind]

Love the long exposure effect! A rather eerie structure!

[Taffy]

Usually I'd prefer the b&w but I just loved that blue!

[Maggie]

Fabulous in b&w also.

[Gavin.J.Cotton]

Love this. I like this more than the blue one. Monochrome always makes long exposures of water look even more buttery:)

[Pam Knowler]

Another great image. How sad to see the old pier crumbling! It's been a couple of years since I was last in Brighton but I can see it is slowly disappearing! Fav!

[David]

The previous b/w one is wonderful Sean, but this takes my breath away! Amazing! Not enough superlatives to describe it. I'm lost for words! I can't analyse it or describe why I think it is a truly great photograph. You have posted some marvellous shots over the years but this must surely be the best. FAV to the power infinity!!

[Sean O'Neill]

@yrhenwr Thankyou David. That is very kind of you. I am rather taken with it as well.

[Lee]

What a brilliant shot, my favourite of your Brighton shots. I'd print this one. Fav

[Sean O'Neill]

@gamelee Thanks Lee, I really appreciate your praise.

[Ingrid Budge]

Very cool feel about this one - almost looks solarised - love that effect

[Sheralee S]

This just answered my earlier question about staying overnight. Another fabulous shot Sean

[Rachel Withey]

Fab processing. V cool shot
