London and St Paul's
A long exposure image looking across The Thames and showing the City Skyline including St Pauls. St Paul's Cathedral is an Anglican cathedral, the seat of the Bishop of London and the mother church of the Diocese of London. It sits on Ludgate Hill, the highest point of the City of London. Its dedication to Paul the Apostle dates back to the original church on this site, founded in AD 604. The present church, dating from the late 17th century, was designed in the English Baroque style by Sir Christopher Wren. Its construction, completed within Wren's lifetime, was part of a major rebuilding programme in the City after the Great Fire of London.

Southwold Pier
An even more dramatic long exposure photograph of the Pier at Southwold Suffolk processed as a black and white photograph with low contrast background. . The exposure of almost 300 seconds makes the sea appear flat and calm. The rusty pier legs add to the drama of the monochrome image which is on the wall as a large format print in our house.

Hanging on - The West Pier Brighton Sussex
This long exposure black and white photograph is of the Pier which was designed and engineered by Eugenius Birch and originally opened in 1866. It was closed in 1975 because of safety concerns and granted Grade I listed status in 1982. Arsonists struck in 2003 with the fire stripping the structure down to its metal skeleton you can see here. A monochrome long exposure image adds to the drama of the scene.
