Purple Posts, a photo from Norfolk, England

Photographer's Note

One from Happisburgh in Norfolk, taken just before sunrise.

This part of the coast is constantly being hammered by the North Sea, and consequently errosion is big problem. The beach is covered in several layers of sea defences and the crashing waves make it an exciting place to photograph.

This is one of the first shots I took there, and I was having real trouble getting my eye in composition-wise, as the beach is just crammed full of stuff - so yes, I'm aware the horizon is somewhat too centered!

I still kind of like it, despite the placement of the horizon, but I'll be interested in other peoples views.

Thanks for looking.

Hi Benjamin,
yet another superb long exposure shot.
can you do me a favour and post a bad one just so we know that you do make mistakes??:)
joking aside you always set a high standard with your postings and this one is no exception, good colours and well framed, chris

Hello Benjamin,

Warm colours, great foreground. For this composition, your horizon looks fine to me. 1 small thing, the jetty is at the same level as the sea but the pov should be changed for that and you would loose this interesting foreground.

Cheers,

Alexandre

Hi Benjamin,

Great photo, I think the horizon in fine in the center, thanks to the second post from the left. The composition is wonderfull, the long time exposure gives the water that smooth sensation of movement and continuity, and the colors are really incredibles!!!.

Congrats!!!

Regards!

Leo
