This first one is the entrance to the pier itself. I like the lens flare that I picked up. Not always good photographically - but it is an interesting touch.
I liked this photo - the siloutte look of the fisherman - yet with the nice colors behind.
Now - we are getting into some serious long-exposure times.
Who needs a star filter when you have a tripod? Actually - a friend of mind does have an 8 point star filter - and it is really cool. It would take a photo like this and really make the lights stand out.
