It was a sunny but very windy day on Bournemouth beach, Dorset, England. So I took advantage of the conditions to create this surreal long exposure of an iconic wooden groyne, of which there are many along the long sandy beach.
Groynes are low-lying wood or concrete structures situated out to sea from the shore. They're designed to trap sediment, dissipate wave energy and restrict the transfer of sand away from the beach through longshore drift.
This picture was taken on a bright, sunny day with a polariser and a ten-stop ND filter to create the long exposure effect.
