Bridlington Harbour

The fleet is in

Saturday 24th October 2105

Went across to Bridlington at teatime, the weather was very dull and overcast. There was a glint of sun in the south west, but overhead it was dull. We had a walk up the fish pier (again) and I was surprised just how many fishing boats were in the harbour. I wanted to take a shot showing the extent of the fleet with lots of masts. I needed to show the fish processing building on the right to give the image a location and the mooring posts and ropes. What I did not want was the colourful signage in front of the fish processing building and the colours of the cafes and shops on the left. By converting the image to black and white, sepia toning and adding a vignette, it gives a semi timeless appearance. Ten minutes after we left, there was a fantastic glow on the boats from the low evening sun, which lasted all of two minutes - shame!
