Intent
To record the scenes of the Jetty on Canvey Islands Eastern Esplanade
Equipment Used
Canon 5Ds with Sigma 35mm f1.4, Tripod and remote trigger

No additional research material was identified for the shoot.
Assessment of outcome
The Jetty at Canvey Island is a small Jetty used to launch Dingies from the near by sailing club. These images were again shot at low tide.
The first image was recorded from the Jetty and used a 5 bracket exposure. On the horizon line you can see the coast across from Essex in the context of Brexit the land could represent Europe and the proximity to UK.
The second image was shot off to one side of the Jetty. The rocks visible in the water project a path of travel even though they do not provide means for the reader to progress into the scene unlike the image of the Jetty.
These images are shoot about 40 minutes apart and the change in lighting helps to provide an interesting indicator of the passing of time.
