On Tuesday, a couple of friends from Consett Photographic Society invited me out for the day to go to Hartlepool.
I've never been to Hartlepool, so I jumped at the chance. You're probably thinking why ? Well, I wanted to go and see the old pier at Streetley.
I've seen loads of photos of it, wanted to go and see it for ages....
The weather was great - nice and sunny. It was great spending time on the beach.
Here's some pics of the pier :
I like this one - I haven't done anything to it - came out like this in the camera so was really pleased. The only thing I don't like is the slant of the waterline - but I don't know how to straighten this in Photoshop yet. One of the many techniques I have to learn !
I love wood in black and white...I like the grittiness of it. Here's a section of the pier.
Here's a shot of the underneath of the pier. I tried something on Photoshop on this shot. I changed the sky in the corner, it was extremely light so changed it using selection tools. I know it' not perfect, but I'm still learning :)
Some of you may know that I always like to take some shots of patterns or textures. Here's a lovely pattern made by the sand.
I have a lot of other shots to look through, so will be posting some more on the blog and of course, you all know about my Flickr site !
