Gravesend Pier

[Skyline]

C&C away. What's right with it, what's wrong with it, what could I improve?

I went to school there for 8 years and never realised we have a Pier?

Just looked through your Flickr...please don't tell me you live in the same village as me!?

Two words, first begins with I, second ends in E?

On topic though, probably slightly too much detail lost around the edges, it does give it an old fashioned feel though, and I like the detail in the water.

wow.. yes, small world. Hello
If you come out the market in Gravesend into the car park, keep going onto the bottom car park, across the road, you come to the water. There are 2 piers there. The one pictured now has a restaurant on it.

Hello!

Explains the name of the new restaurant as well, I just never put 2 and 2 together.

Next time I'm around the back of the one way system I'll have to keep an eye out!

I'm amazed at the places I keep finding around here.

Beers in the Three Daws?



I like it, I'm not really that keen on the white vignetting though, it does lose some of the detail as previously said.

Hi Kelly. That shots makes Gravesend look almost like an attractive place! Very nice, surreal, even.
Isn't that the Riva eaterie? Pretty pricey but OK.

Whose round is it?

It is the Riva. I've been told it's expensive and not all that.

Haven't been there for months, but I agree, last time we went it wasn't all that (but I thought that was just me being fussy) - probably why we haven't been back ...

Dave, What an interesting take on what could be just another pier shot. Excellent.

Any tips on how you achieved this.

Thank you.

It is simply tweaking the b&w in lightroom 3 (plus white vignetting) , then into photoshop and using levels and curves until I got the desired effect.

oops, forgot to add... it is 3 shot bracketing stacked together too.
