Sussex Coast ~ 1 by seanoneill

Sussex Coast ~ 1

This morning I drove from Southampton to Brighton for a meeting. I gave myself a spare hour to visit a few places along the Sussex coastline. A useful meeting with a jewellery designer that I am working with on a major project, and then the 200 mile drive home.

I hope that any of you living in the areas affected by the storms in Britain today are safe. Take care.

This is a beach shelter at Worthing. Though the scene looks calm, it was blowing a howling gale from right to left.

This is a shot that has been on my bucket list for a while because it reminds me of some of Kenna's temple shots from Japan!! I am happy at the outcome.

You will probably have to put up with several processings of it in SFX Pro in the weeks ahead, because I rather like it.

We have started a new tradition this year. Rebecca has prepared an Advent Calendar where every day we all have to do something. Feel free to join in. Thanks to all who have done so far, you continue to make us smile.

December 4th: Clean something!

I have just cleaned the toilet and sink in our en-suite bathroom.

It has an oriental flair about it. Japanese as you say. Lovely conversion in B/W, and a most interesting sky.

I'd say it was worth spending half the day in the car to get that photo. Looking forward to seeing what else SFX and you have in store. big FAV
December 5th, 2013  
A -MAY-ZING Sean, I can see why you love it. Big FAV!
December 5th, 2013  
Just beautiful. Can't wait to see additional processing. Fav.
December 5th, 2013  
Beautiful shot :)
December 5th, 2013  
From the thumbnail I was struck by the oriental shape. Lovely capture!

Wonderful shot, looks so calm. There are some of these shelters on Blackpool sea front, one on the back burner me thinks.

Fabulous shot! Love the starkness contrasting with the busy sky.

My wife said she thought it was Japan, so mission accomplished! The symmetry and simplicity are beautiful, and the soaring clouds add atmosphere. Fav. One tiny flaw - when seen large, the top edge has a line that could be cropped out.
December 6th, 2013  
wicked cool black and white!
December 6th, 2013  
So surreal. And crisp. Fav.
December 6th, 2013  
What an absolute cracker. Love the pov, tones, sky, everything. Fav.
December 6th, 2013  
Wonderful picture -- the stormy sky, the tones of black and white, the composition, the detail. I love the Sussex Coast. Fav
December 6th, 2013  
Instant FAV! Mind boggling excellence in b&w! Love everything about it! Fabulous moody capture!
December 6th, 2013  
There's a surreal feel to it, looking like it should be in a Japanese gardens somewhere, not there at the beach! Those clouds are killer! The way they appear to be emanating from the roof is so cool. :-)
December 6th, 2013  
Wow -- saw this on trending when I took a quick look and it called out to be opened and viewed large. What a stunning image! Fav!
December 6th, 2013  
what a beautiful image - and you're right, it does have similarities to Kenna's temple shots
December 6th, 2013  
Brilliant composition and processing. I look forward to more of it.
December 6th, 2013  
Perfectly composed, fav
December 6th, 2013  
What a lovely shot - Perfect composition, I agree - and the processing is spot on. Fav
December 6th, 2013  
Excellent shot, beautiful image. I can see the Kenna connection.
December 6th, 2013  
Fantastic find and capture! This has such an Asian feel to it. Very atmospheric and emotive shot. FAV
December 6th, 2013  
What an amazing sky and a beautiful composition
December 6th, 2013  
excellent shot
December 7th, 2013  
Great capture! It reminded me of a Japanese tea house before I read your caption. And all those clouds leading towards it make me think of another time Lord's TARDIS that has just landed.
December 7th, 2013  
Very pleasing shot - I love the processing.
December 7th, 2013  
Great image (of something familar!) Sean. Excellent edit. Super sky! Fav!
December 7th, 2013  
Late on the scene - but this is fantastic! Instant fave! I love these shelters, but have never managed to get a shot like this!
And many thanks for the follow - I'm seriously flattered :-)
December 7th, 2013  
@ivan cheers Ivan, if you get a moment can you pop back and give the fav button a nudge please.
December 7th, 2013  
@seanoneill Done! I'm on the laptop, which I don't use very often, it's hiccuping beacuse it's doing a scan as well, nor does the spellcheck/auto-correct thing work on here - distracting! But confession is that I am also watching Spurs! [It's been a busy and rather difficult time, didn't get down to the caost anywhere this week.]
December 7th, 2013  
Fav. This is beautiful. Great composition and I love the sky
December 7th, 2013  
Love the symmetry and dramatic sky. The light behind the windows gives the impression something mysterious is going on. fav.
December 8th, 2013  
Great atmosphere and symmetry, belated fav........
