Tunnel Vision

A shot from Huntington Beach where I had a moment of clear thinking... Not sure how long that lasted... :eek:

I have seen other photos of piers, shooting down them with cool effects as the pilings formed the borders on both sides. Huntington Beach is the beach I shoot most often and it's pier is of the 3 piling variety as it's rather large. So whenever I would try shooing down the pier to get the inrushing water, that middle piling always divided the photo in half. It's not something I cared for. Then one day while shooting down there, it all of a sudden dawned on me, that I didn't have to shoot and capture all of the pilings, I could just pick one side and from the photo no one would know that one of the sides was actually the middle piling.

Anyway, all that to say that I liked how this came out. It's just too bad it took me so many years before this one simple solution came to me... :rolleyes:

All comments are welcome,

Jim

This makes an interesting image - the backlit spray coming off the various pilings is pretty neat. The little patch of late day light at the end is almost like a teaser but the colors are amplified by the reflections of it on the pilings.

Jim, as I've proved, it's never too late to learn o_O
This has a lot going for it over the "normal" view.
The tunnel effect, color AND the side splashes.
Very nicely done

Many different elements happening with this shot, the perspective, action and some gold in the distance...
