west pier by night - a photo on Flickriver

west pier by night

my first attempt at really long exposure (720sec). my mum is down for christmas and she was watching strictly come dancing marathon that i had reluctantly recorded for her. after 5 minutes of bruce forsyth i wanted to kill my self so instead downing some bleach i headed out to the beach to shot the pier by night. i learnt 3 key lessons:

1: the tide moves in a lot faster than you think, don't place your tripod to close to the water if the tide is coming in.
2: its boring as hell, you set up your shot and then wait for up to 24 minutes (with noise reduction). at one point i go so board i even phoned ♥ shhexycorin ♥ to keep me entertained.
3: there are only actually 2 lessons

next time i am going to bring a friend
