Andrew Thatcher
took this sensational shot of the old Victorian jetty at St.Annes-on-the-Sea, which is near Blackpool. Andrew has achieved a dramatic angle of view by forcing the verticals to fall using a low viewpoint and a wide angle lens. Examination of the exif data for this image shows that an exposure of two minutes was used and this has blurred motion of the clouds to superb effect. I'm told that there is even more to the post-processing of this image besides conversion to mono, involving an infra red filter - which enabled the long exposure at f/11. And there's much more from Andrew in his newly-updated gallery. And don't miss his blog too!
