Thorpe Bay, Southend-on-Sea

I spent an incredibly blowy afternoon walking amongst the boats at Thorpe Bay this afternoon. I had hoped to be able to get some nice long exposures with great reflections in the water, but that wasn’t to be with the gale blowing in from the sea.

Still, I was able to get a few decent shots, and still have a few others that I can work on later.

I used this shot for a Bishop’s Stortford camera club competition, we had to come up with an image called “A Splash of Colour” so I colour popped this image of the Lady Alice.

Whilst I couldn’t get an image with a decent reflection at the time of taking the photograph, I was able to create one in photoshop.
