Two Brighton Deck chairs sit with great vantage spot of a incoming storm front. I love the moody feel to this shot. I must thank Matthew Bonnington for his help in bringing the most out of this shot, his help with some new processing techniques really add impact to this shot.
This was one of the last shots taken yesterday at New Brighton on the Wirral. The lighting was great, I could not go wrong, and did not want to go home. / Taken with my D300 10-20 Sigma lens, on my Manfretto Tripod 7 Shot HDR processed in Dynamic Photo and sharpened in NX2 and saved as a jpeg.
I took this on a recent trip to Brighton, and got up early so I could catch some cool light, and the dynamics of what was a very rough sea… well… comparitively. Brighton Pier is one of the classic 19th century piers in the UK, amusements on the end, kiss me quick hats for sale and so on… Black and white has given the picture an edge over the colour version….

BEST VIEWED LARGE! This image was taken at the Brighton Azalea Gardens in Montgomery County Maryland in May of 2008. Between the trees you can see Triadelphia Lake, beneath which lay the remains of the Town of Triadelphia. A little history of Triadelphia, copied from the Sandy Spring Museum’s website follows: Born of the Patuxent River and then destroyed by it, the mill town Triadelphia knew years of glory as a leading Maryland industrial center. Triadelphia (“three brothers”) was founded in 1809 by brothers-in-law Thomas Moore, Isaac Briggs, and Caleb Bentley, who married Brooke sisters. Its water wheels powered a cotton spinning mill with six carding engines and 444 spindles, a sawmill, grist mill, and mill for grinding bone and plaster. Around the mills sprang up a structured little city: smithy, cooperage, wheelwright shop, stables, church, cotton factory, company store, post office, cabinet shop, orchard, garden area, meat house, lime kiln, school house, Odd Fellows Hall, 15 detached houses and 11 double houses. Triadelphia’s golden years came after 1840, when Thomas Lansdale took over the factory and mills. The town throbbed with 400 people. Straining eight-horse teams brought wagonloads of raw cotton and supplies from Baltimore and returned laden with muslin, products of the grist mill, and cotton duck for making ship sails. Then came a train of disasters. The Civil War strangled the flow of southern cotton. An 1868 flood swept away houses. The end came in the 1889 deluge that also caused the Johnstown flood. Richard H. Lansdale, a grandson of Thomas and future miller, recalled walking as a child away from the wrecked town with a pillow under one arm and a chicken under the other. Today Triadelphia’s foundations slumber beneath the reservoir that bears its name. Image taken with the Nikon D40x and the 18-135mm lens. Post processing included Photoshop and hdr in Photomatix then back to Photoshop for slight Orton.
I hope this doesn’t seem too Brighton cliché, I just love the colours.

On Brighton beach is a free boating museum, which was more just a collection of old bits and peices that didn’t work anymore. This one took my fancy and is now in my Red Bubble portfolio.

Let’s Get Together Love is but a song I sing / fear’s the way we die / you can make mountains ring / or make the angels cry / though the bird is on the wing / and you may not know why. C’mon people, now, smile on your brother / everybody get together / try to love one another right now. Some may come and some may go / we shall surely pass / when The One that left us here / returns for us at last / we are but a moment’s sunlight / fading in the grass. C’mon people, now, smile on your brother / everybody get together / try to love one another right now. C’mon people, now, smile on your brother / everybody get together / try to love one another right now. If you hear the song I sing / you will understand / ... listen … / you hold the key to love and fear / all in your tremblin’ hand / just one key unlocks them both / it’s there at your command. C’mon people now, smile on your brother / everytbody get together / try to love one another right now … C’mon people now, smile on your brother / everytbody get together / try to love one another right now … ... I said … / c’mon people now, smile on your brother / everytbody get together / try to love one another right now Right now / Right now … ... The Youngbloods … Let’s Get Together
New Brighton Lighthouse, sits next to the fort, it was originally, a wooden “Perch”. A large post held a light on top and was supported by a sort of tripod. It was erected on the Black Rock in 1683 by the Liverpool Corporation. When foreign ships, passed the old perch, they were charged sixpence for its respect and to keep it in repair. But it was often washed away and a boat had to be launched to recover it from Bootle Bay. In February 1821, the pilot boat “Liver” crashed into the perch and carried it away. It has been said that it was washed away in March 1824 and not recovered until the December. / However the cost of replacing it all the time grew too expensive and it was decided to build a new one. / Nikon D300 10-20 Sigma lens 7Shot HDR processed in Dynamic Photo and NX2
