Around Cromer Pier

A few long exposure efforts.

I think number 1 is the best shot - the POV and the lovely, misty quality to the water really make the image.

I also think (sometimes I think too much and I go a little light-headed) your Lightroom spirit level needs re-calibration. Either that, or you need a folded beer mat under the leg of your computer desk.

Nice set David, particularly the first one.  I think there might be a bit more detail in that sky.  It would be worth bringing it out if you can.

Thanks Korky - be nice to blame Lightroom but it is probably my own sloppy editing!

Thanks John. I wrestled with the sky for a while. There was a few patches of blue but the 15 sec exposure gave the clouds too much time to cover it up. Short of  importing a bit of sky from another photo I'm not sure what else I could do.

Just had another go, whacking the 'dehaze' slider up high - this is the result, bit better I think, thanks - also leveled up the horizon.

I agree that the first is a stonking photo, but I also like the second on as it makes me smile!

Yes Kate, took me ages to get those birds to line up neatly!

 Better (for me).  Adds a bit more interest.

Interesting how they must be moving their heads but not their bodies on the timescale of the exposure.

Really like the revised version of the first shot David, and, like Kate, the second one made me smile too! Nice set.
