andybarton Posted September 22, 2006 Share #1 Posted September 22, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) R8/DMR/28mm (two shots, stitched) A Northumbrian beach. Some of the best beaches in Britain are up there in the North East, and hardly anyone (relatively speaking) ever goes there.

Advertisement Posted September 22, 2006 Posted September 22, 2006 Hi andybarton, Take a look here Last of the holiday snaps. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
fotografr Posted September 22, 2006 Share #2 Posted September 22, 2006 What a beautiful area. It must be cold as I can't think of any other reason why the beach wouldn't be full of people. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted September 22, 2006 Author Share #3 Posted September 22, 2006 Well... that's the North Sea. Next stop Norway. It is very cold there - the North wind comes straight off the Arctic (so it will be tropical in 20 years time...). The East wind comes from Siberia. And this was taken in September, so the holiday season was over, apart from for sad old gits like me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted September 22, 2006 Share #4 Posted September 22, 2006 Andy - Lovely shot. I really like how the sweep of the grass and flotsom define the rest of the shot and lead you into it. I also like the detail of the grass. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbertnl Posted September 22, 2006 Share #5 Posted September 22, 2006 Andy, beautiful scenery! Best, Norbert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted September 22, 2006 Author Share #6 Posted September 22, 2006 Cheers, Stuart. That's not flotsom, by the way, that's some sort of volcanic rock that's been there since the ice age Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambroving Posted September 23, 2006 Share #7 Posted September 23, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) Like the crescent shape of the beach and the sweep you caught here. Would like more foreground personally. Time for a 21? O.K., I know you like panoramas. Just not my thing... Nice catch though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leicamann Posted September 23, 2006 Share #8 Posted September 23, 2006 Dito nice one. Thanks for sharing Regards, Leicamann Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time for a 21? O.K., I know you like panoramas. Just not my thing... Nice catch though. Thanks for taking the time to comment William. It's OK. Old cars are not really my thing. Each to his own. Nice for you to comment though. When funds permit (sometime around 2010...), I will source a 19. Until then I will be content to use the tools I have in my bag. The foreground is just more of the grass and I think that the composition would have been compromised somewhat. I like my panoramas to have horizons close to the middle of the frame. I just wish that we had better skies over here, when I am out and about as opposed to when I am in the office... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elansprint72 Posted September 23, 2006 Share #10 Posted September 23, 2006 Now this I do like- the area as well as the photo(s). Am I not correct in thinking that a shorter lens would give a very different perspective from 2x 28's stitched? With 19mm, the distant objects would be....erm, very, very distant. This stitching looks a very interesting technique, must have a go at it sometime. Cheers, Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted September 23, 2006 Author Share #11 Posted September 23, 2006 Don't forget that with a DMR or M8, you only record the centre portion of the image created when compared to a film version (the M8 doesn't need a new screen to see the crop area, of course.) When cropped, the result from a 19 would be similar to this. I won't know until I try Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
