Under renovation

Posted by

This is Bogue Inlet Fishing Pier. On February 6, I posted a sunrise photo I took here (see https://retained-images.aminus3.com/image/2024-02-06.html). This shot is a couple of days later, and was taken later in the morning (about 8:45 am). The pier is closed for the season, and you can see that is is undergoing renovation. Here I used a longer exposure (about 15 seconds) to get this texture in the water.

The earlier shot was from the other side of the pier, through the pier toward the sun. In this shot, I am on the sun side, and capturing its bright light on the wood.

Welcome to all. I began blogging Retained-Images in 2004 at My-Expressions.com. It is gone now.

An excellent framing in diagonal and a superb long exposure on the water. I love!

Great idea to use a long exposure time to make the water silky smooth and the bridge appear to glide away

Une belle initiative cette rénovation afin de conserver encore longtemps cette jetée en bon état !
Cette jetée était merveilleuse au lever du soleil et elle est tout aussi belle sous ce ciel bleu de la matinée.
Joli rendu de l'eau qui adoucit encore plus l'image.
Bonne journée Harry

Nice sunlight that bathes this pier in warmth! Great framing against the refreshing hues of blue.
Do you know if this renovation was from old age or storm damage?

@Steven: there has been no serious storm damage in recent years, but salt and spray and bleaching sun take a hard toll on wood.

I imagine that once renovated, the fishermen will take possession of the place again.
This must be a good fishing spot if the swimmers don't get too close.
Beautiful perspectives and beautiful colors.

I like how the sunlight lights up the posts and makes the pier well defined.

I like the warm light catching the pier. It is really nicely highlighted. I also like the smoothed out water. Great work on the exposure.
