Dungeness Beach Part 1


There's nothing like a nuclear power station for providing a level of eeriness to a landscape. We moved about 15 miles further on from Camber to Dungeness which hosts an active nuclear power station. The whole area is littered with the cast-offs of old Military activity as well as the small beach fishing fleet which still uses Dungeness.

I shot this using the B&W parameter set with in-camera contrast and saturation boosted to 3/4. This is one of the old fisherman's huts which unbelievably provide shelter and storage. This is a relatively good example, most fall apart and rot away in situ.

I like the ladder casually placed against the wall of the hut, the boat in the distance hints at the cabins purpose.

This collection is good enough to submit as a portfolio ... You have really captured the eeriness of the location. The ladder and it's shadow are fab and the boat in the distance is just plain spooky.
