Here's one with the pier. Most of the ones with the pier have the legs blurred; I think it is because I forgot to turn the SR off whilst camera was on tripod!

Ah - that's better! Really like the first one (B&W) and the poppy one. Saw these in their entirety when they were at the Tower of London in 2014 - amazing sight.

Thanks for the comments Nigel. I did want a wider view with the last two to include where the wave kept breaking at the top of frame; however any wider and I started to include the legs of the pier. perhaps I'll post one of those as well...

Re the DA 55-300, I haven't checked it wide open, but mine seems to suffer distortion/ being oof on the rhs IIRC in landscape orientation when much above 200mm

Just thought I'd post a few from the other evening down at the seafront in Brighton. The sun went down behind cloud, so fairly grey sunset. However after some starling shots, took some tripod mounted sea shots with slightly longer shutter times to blur the water.

All taken with K5ii and Tamron 70-200

C & C welcome!

Never ventured into that format, but very interesting - thank you Peter!

Another great set! Nos 2 & 5 for me AND no 7 - love the patterns - needles and slightly peaty water

Very nicely balanced lighting - not at all too harsh IMO! Nice set. For me it would be more an issue to reduce the DoF on no 1 to further blur the background flowers

A nice set - were nos3,4,5 taken with different white balance? I know what Gwyn means in respect of sea turning to fog; however I really like no. 3!
