Skateboard by Alomie
This guy was skating on the seafront promenade in Brighton, I thought this was kinda cool, he didn’t land this jump, but he did look like he was about to break out in the night fever dance, so it’s all cool!

The Beach by Alixzandra
This is a photograph I took on Hove Beach, I then rotated 90 degrees. I wanted a perspective abstract look and composed the shot so the layer of textures were of equal depth, walkway, beech, sea & sky. Only a very slight contrast in post editing, nothing more. / Photograph taken Oct 09 Alixzandra / Featured Oct 09 All things Brighton Beautiful / Landscape…. /

Meet me by the pier by monocotylidono
Yay or Nay? I’m experimenting with some more extreme PP ideas, braking some of my own rules. Let me know if you think they work or not. Any ideas or suggestions more than welcome! I was waiting for the rest of my family to come back from Brighton Pier (dog-sitting, as dogs are not allowed on the pier!), when I spotted this couple of friends casually chatting in front of me. They couldn’t be more relaxed or less self-conscious. I guess it’s so easy to go un-noticed in such a busy crowded place :-) [Sony a350, Sigma 17-70@24mm, f:5.6, 1/160sec, ISO-100]

A shining light? by Ian Ker
Brighton’s destroyed West Pier looks to be all lit up in this monochrome negative picture, which adds to the somewhat ghostly presence of the pier on the beachfront. The speck top-left is a bird that thought it was floating through a clear blue sky but found itself in a dark dream.

Through the Pavilion Gardens by Diado
A view through the gardens of the Brighton Pavilion. This struck me as I was walking towards the Pavilion to shoot inside the gardens as a view that is typical of the Pavilion without being too clichéd. Sepia-tone conversion in Photoshop CS2. Camera: Kodak ZD710 / Focal Lenth: 17.5mm / SS: 1/400s / Aperture: f/8

Is that Churchill? by dkspecial
Not one for taking pictures of clouds as such and I know that if you stare long enough you’ll see some figure or another popping out at you but I had to post this. Taken today on Hove promenade.

Brighton Royal Pavilion by mikebov
The Prince Regent, who later became King George IV, first visited Brighton in 1783, as his physician advised him that the seawater would be beneficial for his gout. In 1786 he rented a farmhouse in the Old Steine area of Brighton. Being remote from the Royal Court in London, the Pavilion was also a discreet location for the Prince to enjoy liaisons with his long-time companion, Mrs Fitzherbert. The Prince had wished to marry her, and may have done so secretly; however this was illegal owing to her Catholic religion. Henry Holland was soon employed to enlarge the building. The Prince also purchased land surrounding the property, on which a grand riding school and stables were built in an Indian style in 1803, to designs by William Porden. Between 1815 and 1822 the designer John Nash redesigned the palace, and it is the work of Nash which can be seen today. The palace looks rather striking in the middle of Brighton, having a very Indian appearance on the outside. However, the fanciful interior design, primarily by Frederick Crace and Robert Jones, is heavily influenced by both Chinese and Indian fashion (with Mughal and Islamic architectural elements). It is a prime example of the exoticism that was an alternative to more classicising mainstream taste in the Regency style. After the death of George IV in 1830, his successor King William IV also stayed in the Pavilion on his visits to Brighton. However, Queen Victoria disliked Brighton and the lack of privacy the Pavilion afforded her on her visits there (especially once Brighton became accessible to Londoners by rail in 1841) and after her last visit to Brighton in 1845, the Government planned to sell the building and grounds. The Brighton Commissioners and the Brighton Vestry successfully petitioned the Government to sell the Pavilion to the town for £53,000 in 1850 under the Brighton Improvement (Purchase of the Royal Pavilion and Grounds) Act 1850.[1] The town used the building as assembly rooms. Many of the Pavilion’s original fixtures and fittings were removed on the order of the royal household at the time of the sale, most ending up either in Buckingham Palace or Windsor Castle. Although since the Second World War, the municipality of Brighton has spent a great deal of time, effort and money restoring the Pavilion to its state at the time of King George IV, most of the current fixtures and fittings are replicas of the originals. / (text from Wikipedia) / Panasonic G1 / 2 Images stitched using Panorama maker

About This Group
Hemmed in by the South Downs, Brighton & Hove is a diverse and vibrant coastal city. It’s an incredibly laid back and fun place to reside in, live nearby or visit. It’s full of life all year round and has been a constant source of inspiration for residents, visitors and a whole raft of artists throughout its existence. It’s widely reported that Brighton succeeds as a modern city because it was built on the principle of pleasure rather than industry.
Whilst cities such as London, Manchester and Birmingham thrive on their industrial heritage, Brighton relied upon the healing properties of the sea during Queen Victoria’s reign and has continued to thrive as a premier pleasure destination.
As per every city, Brighton doesn’t satisfy all and has its fair share of detractors. This group aims to celebrate the good, bad and fabulous that Brighton has to offer.
If you are inspired by Brighton & Hove and happy to share your images, thoughts and artwork then submit them here.
We host monthly avatar challenges as well as specific challenges focusing on all aspects of Brighton life including architecture, people, beach life, Pride, parks and gardens etc
We will promote featured members who contribute regularly to the group and set a consistently high standard. Comments on the group and future challenges will also be welcomed through the forum.
