Location
Llandudno, North Wales, UKTime
Shortly before sunset so the the light was constantly droppingLighting
The light was contantly dropping so I had to compensate with an extended exposure timeEquipment

It had been a good while since I shot this location so I decided to have a night in Llandudno before heading into Snowdonia and try to get some different images as well as scouting out a few new locations, this one was shot in the evening not long before a sunset that really didn't materialise.. The old Victorian structure for me is one of the best piers in the UK with the great dome design at the end. The dropping light allowed for a 6 minute exposure, effectively isolating the pier in the scene.Editing

Push the histpogram as far to the right as you can to get all the details in darker areas, never ever underexpose then turn exposure up later.
