Alamy POTM September: Piers and Jetties


Alamy

Recommended Posts

If you visited any lakes or spent time at the seaside this summer, you're likely to have come across some piers and jetties. When shooting these eye-catching landmarks, they can often be used to showcase slow shutter speeds, symmetrical compositions or interesting weather conditions. 

 

Did you spend time by the sea or lakes, walking along quiet jetties or playing in the arcades on the piers?   

 

If you haven't been involved with Alamy Photo of the Month yet, the theme for September is #AlamyPiersAndJetties, so why not join in?

 

From eerie obscured jetties to bustling sun-drenched piers, we want to see it all. At the beginning of October we'll share our favourites with you and also our customers.
