Under North Pier in Blackpool

On Sunday I visited Blackpool with friends. I’ve been wanting to go there for a while due to chromasia’s photoblog. His images are stunning. I hoped to get some nice images while I was there. I can see why he gets great photos, the light there is excellent. So inspired by one of his images I thought I’d have a play with the location and put my own spin on it, which is this.

Camera: Canon 30D // Lens: Sigma 10-20 // Focal Length: 10.0mm // Exposure Time: 1/320 // Aperture: f/8.0 // ISO: 200 // Exposure Mode: Auto Bracketing

    I like the way the wide angle makes the pier look as if it's 'twisting' at the top left of the image - gives a really dynamic effect in combination with the off kilter angle. Great shot.

    Excellent shot Pete. I do prefer it to Mr. Nightingales. Possibly because some of your HDR image processing seems to have a cooler tone of late, which suits my eye. Jolly good show old bean.

    More seriously though, I really like this one, not least because it's quite different to my version - it has a much more 'open' and light feel to it, making mine appear almost claustrophobic. Give me a shout next time you're in the neighbourhood.
