Inveraray pier is located within the town of Inveraray, which is based in Argyll and Bute 60 miles from Glasgow and the original pier was built back in 1782 although I was unable to source when the replacement pier was built. The pier itself was popular in its day for herring fishing, which provided a major boost to the town's economy. The pier was also used by large paddle steamers, which linked Inveraray to Glasgow. The pier however in recent years has fallen into disrepair and has since been closed for safety reasons and is no longer available for access to the public.
IMAGES OF THE PIER TODAY
The above images were taken of the pier on 26 March 2017 using an Olympus
E-M1 camera with a 14-42mm lens. These
shots show a side-view perspective of the pier as they were taken on the beach
next to the pier and I utilised a closer shot to show the pier's structure as
well as the seaweed that has grown on the pier's stumps and I felt this shot lended well to being black and white. The wide angle side shot provides a larger coverage of the pier structure itself and both shots were taken on a tripod using a Lee 10 stop neutral density filter to smooth out the water. Overall I think these shots serve to show the texture and structure of the pier very well.
