Beach in Brittany, France
« on: September 04, 2015, 19:30:54 »
One beach, three views into different directions. On Longchamp beach in Saint Lunaire in Brittany. Somehow i felt that these should be B&W, don't know why. I'd be interested to know your opinions and remarks.

#2 The little light house
#3 Village on the edge

#1 and #3 are very good conventional takes on the subject matter, but #2 is extraordinary, drawing me in with its water dynamics. Thank you!

I like all three of them. The second one has a perfect shutter speed. Not to long but long enough to create some action. 1/10 of a second or perhaps even slower...

I like them all, but #3 is exceptional. Well done.

#2 is very cool,

the Atlantic was very tame at the spots in Ireland I visited, so I could not get anything like this...

cheers

@Frank: thanks! Conventional maybe, but i had never seen a scene like #1 (i'm not a beach guy), so i'm learning.

@Jakov: thanks for looking. Indeed you guessed it, 1/10th, or did you peek at the exif?  ;)

@Gary: thanks for commenting. I personally thought of focus stacking this scene to get everything in (better) focus from the weed to the distant houses (i made the stack), but in the end i liked this single frame better. Glad you like it too.

@Andreas: thanks. I would have imagined Ireland has pretty wild coasts, a petty that you didn't have anything like this. Frankly, here it wasn't as wild as the Atlantic can be, but the tidal height difference here is phenomenal. I wil have you know that i shot quite a number of pictures in this composition before i arrived at this one.

Thanks all! I really appreciate you looking and leaving a comment.
