Tag Archives: Swanage

On the final leg of the short Dorset trip the final stop over before head home was Swanage. When I arrived there the weather was anything but co-operative, wind blow and rain still falling.

Driving into the town I headed straight for the water front to see what was on offer, slowly driving along the front toward the pier, I saw lots of opportunities for some great images however they will have to be for another day as there was not way I would be able to capture the shots I was after with the rain driving into the lens.

When I was near the pier I parked up the car and grabbed my tripod and bag and headed off for a wander hoping to find something to point the camera at with out driving rain covering the front element.

Well I was lucky I managed to get the following shots, one shot by being at a slight angle to the driving rain and the other by setting up the tripod beneath a roof overhang and behind a wall which sheltered me from the wind and the rain.

I processed the Jetty Shot a specific way, this is something that I visualised whilst I was taking the shot. Now granted it will not be to everyones taste, but that is the beauty of photography! we all see things in a different way.
