Shorncliffe Pier

[dje]

I took these shots this morning at an old pier that is currently closed for repair. This is the first time I've done an early morning shoot at this spot which is very popular with local photographers. I'd appreciate hearing your views on the relative merits of the different compositions.

I love your composition in #1 Dave...until I saw all the rest of them...they are all good. The last one (just my opinion) need a bit less foreground.

Lovely pics Dave.

This pier must be getting as famous as your barrier reef judging from the number of pictures I have been seeing of it.

Thanks Izzie, I think you are right about the last shot. Something like this perhaps ?

Thanks Bobo. Yes I've seen a lot too. I think there have been a couple on CiC in the past. Interestingly a passer-by this morning was saying to me he would love a dollar for every shot of this pier.

The pier is almost incidental to those fantastic skies! Nice!

[Bobobird]

Haha. I say something like carrying a coffee machine to all my outings and getting rich selling hot drinks to the frozen photographers.

All very nice. And for me 1, 4 and 5 are extra beautiful because of the gorgeous sky and light you captured.
